SAN JOSE, Calif., July 17 -- Laserscope said the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared its Lyra Surgical Laser System for the non-invasive treatment of wrinkles. The system is currently cleared and used in the market for permanent hair reduction in all skin types and tones and to treat pseudofolliculitis (shaving bumps), vascular lesions and leg veins. "We are very pleased to have received clearance from the FDA for this exciting and important additional indication for our Lyra laser," said Eric Reuter, Laserscope president and CEO.Read full articleRelated content from Photonics MediaArticlesHamamatsu to Establish New Factory for Semiconductor Laser Manufacturing: Week in Brief: 04/28/23The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released a paper outlining its vision and strategy for a National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC),...Photonics.com 4/28/2023Lidar Methods Combine for Nonmechanical, Compact SolutionIn a newly developed lidar system, researchers at Kyoto University integrated 3D flash and beam-scanning laser light sources to create a 3D, nonmechanical lidar system.
