Excessive Hairiness, Vascular Lesion, Pigmented Lesions, Acne Vulgaris
Conditions
Brief summary
The first IPL device obtained United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance in 1995 for treatment of lower extremity telangiectasias. Since then, its favorable cost and versatility in contrast to many singlespectrum lasers, has led to its rapid proliferation and use in a number of different clinical settings. As described in the literature, ANTHÉLIA medical device is intended to treat skin disorders: * Excessive Hairiness (Hirsutism, Hypertrichosis...) * Vascular lesions (Rosacea….) * Pigmented lesions (Lentigo et melasma) * Acne vulgaris
