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.
