Clinical Studies for PaloVia Skin Renewing Laser.

High User Satisfaction Reported in PaloVia Studies
Dr. James Leyden, an investigative dermatologist at the Skin Study Center in Broomall, PA, ran several comprehensive clinical studies on the PaloVia Skin Renewing Laser. "The PaloVia laser was tested in two locations and had the following results: all study participants were able to follow the instructions and incorporate the treatment into their daily routines; blinded evaluations revealed improvement in more than 90% of the subjects; and user satisfaction was high to very high."

The First 50 Years of Laser Technology
The first functional laser was created in 1960, by Theodore H. Maiman, a young, U.S. physicist working in California. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, scientists primarily focused on the military and industrial applications of this new technology. But in 1974, lasers went mainstream, with the introduction of barcode scanners at grocery store checkouts. Today, you can find lasers in products ranging from DVD and CD players, to home and office printers, to light shows and game consoles.

In 2010, lasers celebrated their 50th birthday.

Lasers in the Medical Field
As early as the 1960s, researchers began to apply laser technology to medical problems. Laser precision led to innovations in surgical treatments – such as vision correction and kidney stone treatment. By the 1980s, select dermatologists were using lasers to treat skin conditions, but the practice was not widespread.

Early Cosmetic Lasers Were Effective ... but Inaccessible
The first laser treatments for wrinkles used a process called "ablation" which removed the top layer of skin and part of the sub-layer. Although this laser skin treatment was highly effective, it was not accessible to most people. The surgical procedure – technically known as full-surface, ablative laser skin resurfacing – was costly and required up to four months to fully recover. And even for patients who could afford the procedure, there were risks of infection and other complications, including scarring.

In the Past Decade, Palomar Revolutionized Laser Skin Treatment
The scientists at Palomar Medical Technologies saw tremendous potential to improve laser skin resurfacing treatments. They wanted people to reap the benefits of cosmetic lasers, but without the risks and prolonged recovery time. In the 1990s, a global team of Palomar laser physicists and esteemed dermatologists began experimenting with non-ablative fractional laser treatments – a new technique that kept the outer layer of skin in place ("non-ablative") and treated only a small portion ("fraction") of the skin with each application of light, for faster healing and fewer risks. These fractional lasers generate short pulses of micro-fine light, which can be manipulated by size, energy, spacing and depth to professionally treat conditions like scars, age spots, stretch marks and wrinkles. In 2000, Palomar filed a patent application on this fractional laser technology and, soon thereafter, began selling systems to doctors' offices and medi-spas.

In 2008 and 2009, the only two years for which statistics are available, U.S. doctors performed hundreds of thousands of fractional laser skin rejuvenation treatments.*

Palomar Adapts Technology for At-Home Use
Driven to make laser skin treatment more accessible and affordable, Palomar laser physicists began adapting the technology for use at home. The challenges were many: miniaturizing the technology, adding user-friendly features and testing to make sure it was appropriate for home use. But they succeeded. After years of clinical studies, Palomar received FDA-clearance for the first at-home laser clinically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. So now, with the PaloVia Skin Renewing Laser, the advantages of cosmetic laser treatments are available – in your own home, on your own terms.

The PaloVia Skin Renewing Laser is a new-to-the-world product that required rigorous safety testing to ensure it was appropriate for home use. Learn more about its Design Features.

And that's the story of the amazing power of light. PaloVia. Proven by dermatologists. Perfected for you.™

	Palomar's patented fractional laser technology has been proven by dermatologists worldwide for more than a decade. Now, for the first time ever, this same technology has been adapted and perfected for your use at home. Rigorous safety testing, which included hundreds of clinical study participants performing more than 7,500 eye-area treatments, contributed to the FDA clearance to treat fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Here are some highlights of the clinical studies conducted on this laser for home use: Medical professionals confirmed ... 92% of participants had visible wrinkle reduction A panel of doctors specializing in dermatology and plastic surgery saw a noticeable reduction in wrinkles in 92% of participants after just 1 month of daily treatments. 84% of participants agreed … the PaloVia Skin Renewing Laser appears to eliminate fine lines After 12 weeks of laser skin treatments, 84% of participants agreed that the PaloVia laser appears to eliminate fine lines rather than just reduce their appearance.
