(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Home care or DIY devices that mimic the effects of traditional lasers found in dermatologist’s and plastic surgeon’s offices have been growing in recent years, and this category offers new options for consumers for treating acne, fine lines, skin tone and texture, and hair removal. Palomar Medical (http://www.palomarmedical.com) has entered the market with the introduction of the PaloVia laser, the first FDA-cleared, at-home laser clinically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. This highly anticipated introduction of a fractional laser system to be used at home is poised to be a game changer in the aesthetics industry.
Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes or crow’s feet tend to be among the first visible signs of aging. The skin is thinner and more prone to collagen depletion and years of squinting, laughing and crying can give way to creases that radiate from the corner of the eyes. Eye creams and serums can help soften fine lines temporarily. BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® have long been used to treat crow’s feet, although considered an off label use. Enter PaloVia, the newest treatment that targets aging skin around the delicate eyelid region. The PaloVia laser works deep under the skin’s surface where wrinkles begin to form to stimulate the body’s production of new collagen and elastin. Short pulses of fractional laser energy trigger the body’s natural healing process and rebuild the support structure of the skin. In the clinical study, after 12 weeks of use, 84% of participants noticed that the PaloVia laser eliminated fine lines rather than just reducing their appearance. After one month of daily treatments, a panel of dermatologists and plastic surgeons saw a ‘noticeable reduction’ in wrinkles in 92% of clinical study participants.
According to New York Dermatologist Dr. Melanie Grossman (http://www.drmelaniegrossman.com) “I have been using fractional lasers on my patients for many years in my practice, but now Palomar Medical Technologies has miniaturized and perfected the technology for use at home. This represents an exciting step that truly empowers women and men to address the signs of aging around their eyes.”
To see optimum results, you will need to use the PaloVia laser around the eyes every day for one month, then twice per week thereafter for maintenance. Each treatment takes only three to four minutes, and you must first apply the PaloVia Pre-Treatment Gel that ensures proper contact of the laser with your skin. The treatment is safe, simple, effective and has a built in automatic shut-off.
“The PaloVia laser represents the most modern technology for at-home wrinkle treatment whether you’re just starting to see fine lines or have deeper wrinkles,” said Dr. Grossman. “The results are very natural-looking, providing a younger and more refreshed appearance around the eyes in just a few weeks.” The kit is sold for $499 on http://www.palovia.com. If you can spare three to four minutes a day to reduce your crow’s feet, it’s a worthwhile investment in the health and beauty of your skin.
