BIOLASE Enters US Skin Resurfacing Market with Launch of Waterlase Fractional Handpiece

USA: BIOLASE, a provider of dental lasers, has announced the U.S. launch of the Waterlase Fractional Handpiece, a new tool for doctors performing skin resurfacing treatments. The handpiece uses advanced, proprietary technology to deliver faster healing and quicker recovery for skin resurfacing patients.

The Waterlase Fractional Handpiece is built on the patented Waterlase iPlus platform, the all-tissue laser in the marketplace. It can deliver both ablative and non-ablative fractional treatments, giving doctors control over the depth of penetration with different parameters and treatment techniques.

Faster Healing and Recovery Time

The handpiece creates a uniform, one-dimensional pattern of micro-perforations on the tissue surface, offering patients comfortable and effective skin resurfacing treatments with faster healing and quicker recovery time.

Utilizing BIOLASE’s proprietary water spray, no local or topical anaesthetic is required for many procedures, and the ergonomic handpiece fits comfortably in either hand, providing doctors with a faster and easy way to deliver skin resurfacing treatments. The Waterlase Fractional Handpiece is FDA 510(k) cleared and compatible with version 2.1 or newer of the Waterlase iPlus All-Tissue laser.

“We’re very pleased to announce the launch of this state-of-the-art handpiece in the United States, which works with our current Waterlase iPlus platform to deliver faster and more efficient skin resurfacing,” said John Beaver, BIOLASE President and Chief Executive Officer.

“I believe this launch will further accelerate the adoption of our Waterlase technology in the dental industry and is consistent with our commitment to provide less invasive, patient-friendly technology for both patients and clinicians and expands our access to the approximately $215 million skin resurfacing market worldwide.”
