The device FlexSys consists of a base unit with up to two installed internal laser modules, handpieces and/or scanners for these modules and attachable applicators. All applicators, handpieces, and scanners are connected by an electrical cable.The base unit contains most of the controls, such as the touch-screen, the on / off switch or the emergency stop button. In addition the power cord, foot switch, and the door plug are connected to the base unit. The touch-screen serves as the main control panel.The applicators, handpieces, and scanners direct the light onto the skin. Some applicators contain a hand switch on the front of the handle by which light emission can be triggered.The scanners and handpieces of the internal modules are connected to the base unit by an electric signal cable and by an optical fiber which guides the aiming beam and working beam laser light to the handpiece/scanner in its core. The light is then guided onto the skin via several mirrors and lenses. Due to the round shape of the fiber core the resulting laser spot on the skin is circular. The size of the working beam spot corresponds to the nominal value when the distance tip touches the skin. For larger distances the spot size will increase, i.e. the laser beam is divergent.
A mains electricity (AC-powered) mobile (on wheels) assembly of devices that uses multiple therapeutic modalities [e.g., intense pulsed light (IPL), laser, and radio-frequency (RF) energy] in combination and/or in isolation for ablative and non-ablative treatment of the skin surface (e.g., removal of pigment/vascular lesions, scarring, acne, psoriasis, wrinkles, tattoos, hair, and skin resurfacing and rejuvenation). The system includes a lamp(s) and additional energy sources (typically a laser(s), and/or a RF generator); dedicated applicators (handpieces) intended to apply the different energies to the skin are also included.
