The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given 510(k) clearance to Reliant Technologies Inc. for three novel Fraxel re:pair laser hand pieces. This enhanced potential of the Fraxel re:pair laser system will provide physicians with an option for surgical treatment and skin resurfacing. As part of the Fraxel re:pair Complete Fractional Ablative Workstation, all of the three surgical hand pieces can be used alone or along with each other, with no need to turn the system off for changing the hand pieces.
