MedLite® C6 Approved for Laser Skin Resurfacing for the Treatment of Wrinkles and Acne Scars
HOYA ConBio is proud to announce that the MedLite® C6 has been FDA approved for laser skin resurfacing for the treatment of acne scars and wrinkles. This adds yet another indication for this laser, which already includes epidermal and dermal pigmented lesion removal, advanced tattoo removal, laser-assisted hair removal and vascular lesion treatment.
With the popularity of this procedure rising, the MedLite® C6 is fast becoming the laser of choice for this treatment. When using the MediLite®, there is little risk of pigmentary changes or burns, and no risk of pitted scars. Patients report and doctors have confirmed that they have achieved a more refreshed appearance, a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, smoother skin texture, and a decrease in pore size. The MedLite® was discovered to be effective in this application when treating patients for other indications. Physicians discovered that their patients were noticing these non-ablative resurfacing benefits. Paul Jarrod Frank, MD, Director of 5th Avenue Dermatology Surgery & Laser Center, and a pioneer in minimally invasive cosmetic surgery, has been using this technology with great success for 3 years. “The Medlite Laser toning procedure offers patients the safest and least invasive way to effectively minimize the appearance of wrinkles and scars in any skin type. Used alone or in combination with other procedures, laser toning is a standard in minimally invasive cosmetic rejuvenation”, says Dr Frank.
A study conducted by Paul Friedman, MD and Roy Geronemus, MD (Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York) used 3-D in-vivo optical skin imaging to objectively quantify the efficacy of multiple treatment sessions with the MedLite® for acne scarring. The researchers also looked to determine improved efficacy after multiple treatment sessions, and biomechanically characterize nonablative skin rejuvenation. It was found that in less than five treatment sessions, patients experienced quantifiable improvement of surface topography, and in skin tone.
