Cutera xeo+

The xeo+ is Cutera's current multi application platform, combining a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser with optional intense pulsed light handpieces. FDA cleared the xeo+ Family under 510(k) K233237 on December 15, 2023. The filing describes two consoles. The xeo+ has a built in 1064 nm laser handpiece with spot sizes from 3 to 16 mm and pulse durations from 0.1 to 300 ms. The xeo+ SA is a pulsed light only console without the laser. Both accept user installable IPL handpieces with a xenon flashlamp, filtered to 500 to 1100 nm in the comparison table.

Cutera's product page says each xeo+ ships with the CoolView 1064 nm laser handpiece and lists Laser Genesis, a micro pulsed 1064 nm treatment, among its applications. Treatment photos on the same page credit the LimeLight and AcuTip handpieces. The 510(k) describes an integral cooling system in the laser handpiece and lists 1064 nm indications that include vascular and pigmented lesions, hair reduction and wrinkles, with a separate set of IPL indications.

The original xeo dates to 2003 and is a different generation. Cutera's 2016 annual report lists the handpieces sold for it over the years, including Titan, ProWave, LimeLight, AcuTip and the Pearl and Pearl Fractional handpieces. The xeo+ clearance does not cover Titan or Pearl, so a console with those handpieces attached is an older xeo, not a xeo+. A xeo+ family console without the laser handpiece is the xeo+ SA.

Because pulsed light handpieces are sold one at a time, the list of IPL handpieces in the box shapes the offer as much as the console itself. Name each one, and include the laser handpiece and its sapphire contact window in your photos. Buyers will also look for the software version, any shot or pulse counts the system displays, the date of the last flashlamp replacement and the full service history. A clear photo of the serial label confirms the model.
