 Fraxel Expands Options
The Fraxel SR1500 laser marks the first expansion of the Fraxel family of lasers. “For the Fraxel SR1500 laser, our engineers and scientists set out to accomplish two breakthrough goals: maximum efficiency in dosage control and optimization of the lesion we deliver,” explained Len DeBenedictis, president and CEO of Reliant Technologies. “We have developed a product that delivers both, resulting in a predictable treatment for every patient, every time.”
Benefits of the Fraxel SR1500 include a telescoping zoom lens that allows the software to automatically optimize lesion depth and minimize unnecessary bulk heating of the skin, new software that allows the physician to control the dosage and choose the optimal treatment plan for the patient, a lighter, more ergonomic handpiece to enhance ease of use and a platform that will support future enhancements.
“We have seen enhanced clinical efficacy in field tests of the Fraxel SR1500 laser,” said Dr. Zakia Rahman, who directed the clinical trials. “Patients noted a comfortable treatment with virtually no interruption in their daily activities and no reported complications.” For more information call 888.437.2935 or visit www.Fraxel.com/physician.

 Tight All Over
The new Sciton SkinTyte ST Accessory targets dermal collagen. Selective photocoagulation of soft tissue results in contraction of collagen, while an integrated thermo-electric cooler reduces discomfort and minimizes thermal injury to untargeted skin. With SkinTyte, practitioners can quickly add skin-tightening procedures to their practice by simply attaching the accessory to their Sciton BroadBand Light platform. The ease with which the BBL can switch from this to other modalities enables practitioners to offer combination procedures for increased patient satisfaction.
“Currently I like to use the BBL SkinTyte Accessory for large surface area treatments, such as legs, arms and abdomens,” said Dr. Jason Pozner, a plastic surgeon in Boca Raton, Florida, who has worked with the ST Accessory. “My experience is that patients find it more comfortable than other skin-tightening treatments, and patients are very happy with the results they are seeing.” For more information call 888.646.6999 or visit www.sciton.com.
