The true efficacy and value of medical devices, be they laser, LED or energy-based devices, can be well assessed
by reviewing published papers from established users and researchers. We have organized our ever-increasing
collection of articles by system and application, then each section is further divided into 3 categories, Peer Reviewed
Articles, White Papers and Trade Journals, which allow you to see at a glance what has been published. Regulatory
approvals vary by geographic region. Kindly refer to www.lutronic.com for system availability and the most recent
