Solta Medical, the manufacturer of the Fraxel system for fractional resurfacing, announced that its new Fraxel re:store Dual Laser System has received FDA 510(k) clearance for use on the face, and the body.
Using a new wavelength and Thulium laser, the new Fraxel re:store Dual Laser System is set to take fractional resurfacing to a new level. The laser is able to not only restore the skin on the face, but on large portions of the body as well.
The machine boasts several advantages, including greater ease of use for the physician and a shorter treatment time. Solta Medical says the machine will allow greater comfort for the patient and faster results. Fractional resurfacing is a procedure that has been largely limited to the face so the addition of treatment for the body is welcome.
The FraxelŽ family of products, which includes the Fraxel re:store laser system, the Fraxel re:pair laser system and the Fraxel re:fine laser system, swiftly became the industry standard for fractional aesthetic skin treatment. Fraxel brand fractional laser systems treat only a fraction of skin at a time, leaving the surrounding area intact for fast healing, as opposed to traditional laser treatments which are more aggressive.
Fraxel seems to have a winning streak of strategic FDA approvals. In one week, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons holds their annual meeting in Seattle. In 2008, Fraxel re:pair gained FDA approval immediately prior to the meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology. Keith Veseleny, editor of American Health and Beauty, will attend the ASPS meeting in Seattle and will interview Fraxel doctors to determine what their thoughts are on the impact of this new technology.
