HOYA ConBio™ Launches the V-Raser™: A Compact Solution for Vascular Lesions
New Laser — Only 4-lbs — Offers Targeted Treatment, Novel Design
Fremont, CA - April 21, 2008 - HOYA ConBioTM, a global leader in dental and aesthetic lasers, today announced the US launch of the V-Raser diode laser for treatment of vascular lesions. The extremely compact V-Raser was unveiled at the 28th Annual Conference of the American Society for Laser Medicine & Surgery, offering physicians an effective solution for common red and blue blood vessels, including facial telangiectasias.
“The V-Raser is uniquely suited to be an integral part of any aesthetic medical practice,” said Timothy S. Gehlmann, President & CEO, HOYA ConBio. “The targeted design of the V-Raser complements other laser and light based therapies for comprehensive treatment of photodamaged and photoaged skin. Because facial spider veins are so common, physicians will be able to use this laser on virtually every one of their cosmetic patients.”
The 980 nm wavelength of the diode laser offers safe, effective treatment of high-flow blood vessels, including red and blue vessels especially on the face. Variable spot sizes allow physicians to reach small, hard-to-treat areas such as the crevices and sides of the nose. Resolution is achieved in one to three treatments, depending on the size of the vessel.
“The V-Raser is a revolutionary new vascular lesion laser that’s different from anything else out there,” said David Goldberg, MD, Director, Skin Laser & Surgery Specialists of NY/NJ and Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. “The ideal patient is that individual who has photodamage and a variety of blood vessels, including telangiectasias, on his/her cheeks and nose. The V-Raser is uniquely successful in removing a variety of facial vessels with minimal patient discomfort. And, it’s the smallest laser I’ve ever seen.”
Weighing only four pounds, the V-Raser is extremely compact and can fit anywhere in a physician’s clinic. Priced at $29,950, the V-Raser is a cost-effective tool introduced by Hoya ConBio, developers of the MedLite and RevLite Q-Switched Nd: YAG lasers, widely regarded as workhorses of the aesthetic industry.
