AlexTriVantage Laser System

Patient Selection

Candela's AlexTriVantage, Q-Switched Alexandrite Laser, is intended for the treatment of 
tattoos or pigmented lesions. 

Tattoos

Blue, green, and black pigments respond best to treatment, whereas other pigments show 
more variable response and test spots are recommended. Different color tattoo pigments 
may respond at different rates so that some colored areas may require more treatments than 
others. In general, darker colors should be expected to respond more than lighter colors. 
Also, the denser the concentration of tattoo pigment, the greater the number of treatments 
required. Patients with previously treated tattoos can be candidates for selective 
photothermolysis therapy with this laser system. Tattoos that have not been effectively 
removed by other treatments may respond well to AlexTriVantage laser therapy, providing 
prior treatment modalities caused no excessive scarring or skin damage.

Pigmented Lesions

Pigmented lesions to be treated with the Candela Q-Switched Alexandrite Laser include, but 
are not limited to the following:

 

Solar or Senile Lentigines

 

Freckles (Ephelides)

 

Café au lait

 

Nevus of Ota, Ito

 

Beckers Nevus

Epidermal lesions will usually respond in 1 to 2 treatments whereas dermal lesions will 
require multiple treatments. Patients with skin types 3 to 4 may experience hypopigmentation 
or hyperpigmentation initially after treatment but this is usually transient.

Note:

   Safety and efficacy of treating a tattoo located in the facial area with the 

AlexTriVantage Q-switched Alexandrite Laser has not yet been determined by FDA 
review. Therefore, the AlexTriVantage laser system is not to be used in treating a tattoo 
located in the facial area.
