 Triple Benefit
AccelaFuze from Genesis Biosystems allows you to offer patients advanced combination therapy with one versatile device. The microdermabrasion procedure gently removes the stratum corneum preparing the skin for rapid infusion of medical-grade topical solutions, followed by LED light therapy. Topical solutions include a Deep Cleanser, 10% Lactic Acid Peel, Kojic Acid lightener, Moisturizer and Peptide Replacement with growth factor stimulation to restore collagen. LED light therapy is applied using the CoolBreeze Wands that emit pulsed blue, red and yellow light. The system is maintenance free, requires no set-up time between treatment modalities and uses disposable treatment tips to prevent cross-contamination.

 Connect the Dots
Lengthy recovery times and face-only applications are a thing of the past for CO2 laser resurfacing thanks to new DOT Therapy (Dermal Optical Thermolysis) technology from Eclipse Medical and DEKA. The companies’ Italian-made SmartXide DOT system has received FDA clearance and offers relief for laugh lines, crow’s feet, brown spots and wrinkles. The system precisely delivers CO2 laser energy to targeted areas on the face, neck and décolletage in a pattern of tiny, micro-sized dots to speed healing and reduce downtime. The thousands of microscopic perforations stimulate new collagen growth to reduce sun damage, signs of aging and acne scarring. “There is no pain or discomfort, redness lasts for a few days versus a few weeks, and the results are remarkable,” says Deborah Sarnoff, MD, associate clinical professor of dermatology at New York University School of Medicine.

 Age Intervention
Jan Marini Skin Research announces the launch of Age Intervention Transitions to address common female skin transitional issues.

 Gentle CO2 Resurfacing
Lasering USA introduces the MiXto SX fractional CO2 laser, a new technology that offers skin resurfacing with less pain and downtime than traditional CO2 laser resurfacing. The MiXto SX allows for full recovery in about five days thanks to its micro-spot method of treatment. Using a high-speed scanner, energy is delivered at 300 microns as the handpiece is moved across the face from quadrant to quadrant, allowing skin tissue to cool between firings. The laser’s deep penetration stimulates collagen production for a more youthful texture in 6 to 12 weeks without rawness and weeping. “The system provides the benefits of a CO2 laser with less downtime,” says Michael Cedars, MD, FACS, Oakland, California.
