The 1550nm Fraxel laser from Reliant Technologies (now Solta Medical, www.solta.com) introduced the medical aesthetics industry to an entirely new category of devices. Featuring a fractionated delivery system that breaks laser beams into tiny dots that create thermal zones of injury surrounded by healthy tissue, the Fraxel—and the many devices it inspired—expanded the patient base for laser skin resurfacing.

Lumenis and the Wellman Center Join Forces

Medical laser developer Lumenis has entered into a joint research, development and licensing agreement with the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, an academic research facility dedicated to light-based biomedical research. The goal of the partnership is to develop new treatments that will progress the field by expanding indications and improving patient outcomes.
