Nubway F1

Product Code: DAA-LS-3606

Set the dot spacing, and you decide how much skin stays untouched.

Tall and white, with an articulated arm rising from the top, this tower delivers carbon dioxide laser light in a grid of tiny columns. Nubway's fractional CO2 platform lets the operator space those dots from dense coverage to wide gaps.

The F1 delivers carbon dioxide light at 10,600 nm from a floor-standing tower, according to Beijing Nubway S&T. The F1 code has no published datasheet, so the figures here come from Nubway's fractional CO2 platform page and catalogue: 1 to 70 W output in 1 W steps, a 0.1 to 10 ms pulse, 1 to 20 repeats, dot spacing from 0.1 mm to 2.6 mm, 1000 W input, a radiofrequency-excited laser tube rated at 20,000 hours and a seven-joint arm. Dimensions, weight, laser classification, focal spot size and whether the F1 matches that platform are not published.

Dot spacing determines each treatment. At 0.1 mm, the platform quotes 100% coverage; at 2.6 mm, it quotes 1%, with every step in between. Tighter spacing ablates more skin per pass, which deepens the result and lengthens healing; wider spacing leaves more intact skin between columns, so recovery is quicker and several sessions do the work. That one setting lets a practice match treatment to the downtime each client can accept.

The photograph shows an angled touchscreen on the front of the tower, a red stop-style button beneath it, a handpiece holster at the side, a logo plate low on the front and four castors. Nubway's catalogue for the platform lists fractional, scan-fractional, surgery and gynaecological modes, a scanner motor offering more than 3000 patterns, and gold-plated and zinc selenide optics.

Unit dimensions are not published. Medigear.uk lists the F1 and can arrange delivery, installation and familiarisation. Request an F1 datasheet, the laser classification, the list of modes and handpieces supplied, smoke-extraction requirements and the declaration of conformity from the seller before ordering.

Atrophic acne scarring is the core indication. Rolling and boxcar scars respond to courses of fractional CO2 treatment, and the published evidence supports a real improvement in exchange for pain and several days of visible recovery. Practices treating scars usually plan three or more sessions spaced weeks apart, adjusting dot spacing and energy as the skin responds.

Photo-ageing and texture come next. Fine lines around the eyes and mouth, enlarged pores, and uneven surface texture are standard resurfacing requests, and a denser single treatment or a lighter course can both come from the same settings. Surgical scars and stretch marks are further uses once the operator has experience with the platform. Test patches on a discreet area help new operators judge how a client's skin reacts before committing to a full face, particularly where pigment change is a concern.

Surgery mode, where the unit supplied includes it, extends the tower into excision and vaporisation of benign skin lesions in a medical setting. That work belongs with doctors trained in laser surgery, under the registration that covers surgical procedures.

Suitable settings include doctor-led aesthetic clinics, dermatology practices, cosmetic surgery units, and plastic surgery departments with a laser-controlled room. Obligations follow the tower: a Laser Protection Adviser, local rules, an authorised operator list, 10,600 nm eyewear, smoke extraction and, depending on the UK nation and the procedures offered, registration with the relevant regulator. The conformity documentation required for those registration routes is issued by the manufacturer and provided by the seller.

Coverage that follows the client's schedule

Dot spacing from 0.1 mm to 2.6 mm provides platform coverage from 100% to 1%. From the same settings screen, a practice can offer an intensive single treatment to one client and a gentler course to another.

Power headroom for depth

Output runs from 1 to 70 W in 1 W steps. Low settings suit delicate areas such as the eyelids, and higher settings give the reach needed for deeper scar work.

Fine control of pulse length

Pulse width adjusts from 0.1 to 10 ms in 0.1 ms steps. Short pulses keep heat tightly confined, while longer pulses add thermal effect around each column.

A long-rated laser tube

Nubway rates the radiofrequency-excited tube at 20,000 hours. Busy practices can plan around a long service life, with the replacement route agreed at purchase.

Reach from a seven-joint arm.

The articulated arm carries the beam to the handpiece across the face, neck and body without moving the tower. Operators keep a steady working position throughout.

Preset treatments for common indications

The platform catalogue lists seven preset treatment items. New operators start from documented parameters, then adjust as they gain experience and see how skin responds.

Scan patterns for different areas

The scanner offers multiple pattern shapes and sizes. Operators can fit the treated area to the contour of a cheek, a forehead or a narrow scar.

A visible stop control

A red button sits below the touchscreen in the photograph. Once its function is confirmed, every operator in the room has a clear way to stop emission.

10,600 nm carbon dioxide laser

The platform wavelength is 10,600 nm, which water in the skin strongly absorbs. Confirm that the F1 uses the same source.

1 to 70 W output

Laser power adjusts from 1 to 70 W in 1 W steps across the platform.

0.1 to 10 ms pulse width

Pulse width adjusts from 0.1 to 10 ms in 0.1 ms steps.

0.1 to 2.6 mm dot spacing

Dot spacing runs from 0.1 mm to 2.6 mm in 0.1 mm steps, quoted as 100% to 1% coverage.

1 to 20 repeats

Each point can be treated from 1 to 20 times per pass, in single steps.

Radiofrequency-excited laser tube

The platform uses a radiofrequency-excited tube rated at 20,000 hours. Confirm tube origin and replacement terms for the F1.

Seven-joint articulated arm

A seven-joint arm, stated as sourced from South Korea for the platform, carries the beam to the handpiece.

Scanner motor

The platform scanner is described as offering more than 3000 patterns. Confirm the pattern library on the F1.

Gold-plated and zinc selenide optics

The platform catalogue lists gold-plated mirrors and a zinc selenide focusing lens. These optics need regular inspection and cleaning.

Multiple working modes

The platform lists fractional, scan-fractional, surgery, and gynaecological modes. Confirm which are enabled on the F1.

Angled touchscreen

The touchscreen sits at an angle on the front of the tower in the photograph. Size and language options are not published.

1000 W input

The platform input power is 1000 W. Confirm voltage and plug type for the destination.

Castor-mounted tower

The tower stands on four castors. Braking is not described, so check how it stays in place.

The F1 is a floor-standing fractional CO2 laser tower whose working logic is dot spacing: one setting that trades depth of result against length of recovery. The platform behind it offers broad control of power, pulse length, and coverage. Still, the F1 code itself is not documented, and several modes carry medical- and research-only implications in the UK. Medigear.uk lists the F1 for business buyers worldwide and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover. Request an F1 datasheet, the laser classification, the modes and handpieces supplied, smoke-extraction guidance, the declaration of conformity, and the UK Responsible Person details from the seller at quotation.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

The laser vaporises microscopic columns of skin in a grid, leaving untreated skin between them. That surrounding tissue heals the columns quickly and drives collagen remodelling in the weeks that follow. Wavelength 10,600 nm is strongly absorbed by water, so the effect is ablative: the skin surface is broken, and redness, swelling, and crusting follow. The balance between result and recovery is set mostly by energy, pulse length and dot spacing.

A 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis in Lasers in Medical Science found a favourable efficacy signal for fractional CO2 treatment of atrophic acne scars, alongside more pain and longer downtime than erbium-based fractional lasers. It recommended choosing treatment individually, weighing expected improvement against tolerability, recovery, and the client's risk of pigment change. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is the complication practices plan around most, particularly in darker skin types—none of the reviewed studies involved this unit.

The classification is not published. A 70 W carbon dioxide laser would typically fall under Class 4 under BS EN 60825-1, but the label on the supplied unit settles it. Class 4 use requires a Laser Protection Adviser, written local rules, a controlled area with door signage and an interlock, trained and authorised operators, and eyewear rated for 10,600 nm for everyone in the room. The Control of Artificial Optical Radiation at Work Regulations 2010 place the risk assessment duty on the employer.

Ablating skin produces a plume of vapour and fine particles that staff and clients should not breathe. A dedicated smoke evacuator with suitable filtration, its nozzle held close to the treatment site, is standard practice for CO2 resurfacing, and the local rules and risk assessment should record that requirement. Ask the seller whether an evacuator is supplied or recommended, and allow floor space for it beside the tower.

Nubway's catalogue lists gynaecological and vulval modes with dedicated handpieces for vaginal and vulval treatments. NICE interventional procedures guidance published in 2021 recommends transvaginal laser therapy for both urogenital atrophy and stress urinary incontinence only in the context of research, because long-term safety and efficacy evidence is inadequate, and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists echoed that position in 2022. A practice outside a research setting should not offer these treatments in the UK. Confirm whether the gynaecological handpieces are included and treat them accordingly.

Surgical and gynaecological modes are medical claims, so a unit sold with them is placed on the market as a medical device in Great Britain, which brings the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002 into play, with CE marking currently accepted under transitional arrangements alongside UKCA marking, and a UK Responsible Person for a non-UK manufacturer. Northern Ireland follows the EU Medical Device Regulation. Request the declaration of conformity, the certificate scope naming the F1 and the UK Responsible Person details.

The literature available shows no CE marking for the F1 code. Nubway states certification across its range, but certificate numbers and model-level scope are not shown. Request the declaration and certificate naming the F1 from the seller at quotation.

Ablative resurfacing sits at the medical end of aesthetic work, and operators need laser safety training plus clinical training in resurfacing, aftercare and complication management. In England, providers carrying out surgical procedures or treating medical conditions generally need registration with the Care Quality Commission, while premises in Wales and Northern Ireland using Class 3B or Class 4 lasers register with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales or the RQIA, and Scottish independent clinics register with Healthcare Improvement Scotland. Check the position with the relevant regulator before the first treatment.

Nubway rates the radiofrequency-excited laser tube at 20,000 hours. Optics in the arm and handpiece need regular cleaning and inspection, and arm alignment affects delivered power. Ask the seller for the recommended service interval, how tube replacement is handled, spares lead times and whether alignment can be checked on site.

It is unsuitable for practices without a Laser Protection Adviser, smoke extraction and clinically trained operators. Clients with active infection, recent isotretinoin use, a tendency to keloid scarring or a history of poor wound healing need careful assessment or exclusion, and darker skin types need conservative settings and a pigment-risk discussion. It is not a device for unsupervised or high-turnover salon use.
