Introduction
1. Introduction
This chapter includes an overview of the Comet system, the main system components and
classification.
System Overview
The Comet System is intended for hair removal treatment. The system technology is a
combination of optical (laser) energy and conducted radio frequency (RF). Both of these
energies supplement each other to provide epidermal and dermal thermolysis at
controlled depth.
The System provides individual adjustment of RF energy and Laser energy to achieve
maximum efficiency and safety for each patient.
The System provides enhanced safety and comfort while minimizing possible side
effects, using a contact cooling mechanism in the applicator and “on-line” energy
monitoring of the tissue during treatment
