Lumenis Debuts Aluma Skin Renewal
“Our results with Aluma have been substantial,” notes Michael Gold, MD, a dermatologist in private practice in Nashville, Tennessee. “The unique vacuum-assisted bipolar delivery of radio frequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin bypasses the skin’s surface and results in a virtually pain-free and minimal-risk procedure. We achieved 90% patient satisfaction and greater than 40% improvement of wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. This is fantastic by today’s standards.” The unique Functional Aspiration Controlled Electrothermal Stimulation (FACES) technology treats wrinkles, fine lines and skin laxity. There is no prolonged recovery time, anesthesia is seldom required, treatment takes only 15 minutes and patients can return to work or normal activities immediately. Treatments are administered in a series of four to six sessions, providing gradual improvement with low risk. For more information log on to www.lumenis.com or call 877.586.3647.
