SNA-001 Silver Photoparticle Topical Gel is indicated for use as an accessory to 810 mm diode laser for temporary removal of light-colored hair in patients with skin types I, II and III. Light-colored hair types include blonde, light red, light brown, gray and white.

SNA-001 Silver Photoparticle Topical Gel (SNA-001) is used as an accessory to 810 nm diode dermatologic lasers for the removal of unwanted body hair. SNA-001 consists of near-infrared lightabsorbing silver particles suspended in a topical gel that mediates selective photothermolysis of the hair follicle when illuminated by a specific wavelength of laser light (810 nm). The photoparticles are nanoscale silver plates coated with silica and tuned to a wavelength of 810 nm corresponding to commonly used dermatologic lasers. These photoparticles function as highly efficient chromophores for the absorption of laser light. When exposed to laser light of the appropriate wavelength, the photoparticles rapidly heat to temperatures capable of facilitating targeted damage to the hair follicle . SNA-001 is dark blue/black in color, is for single use only, and is provided non-sterile in 1cc polypropylene syringe dispensers.
