The laser and skin tightening experts at Solta Medical made an important announcement August 26th regarding their line of Fraxel aesthetic laser systems: a new addition – the Fraxel Restore Dual – will be introduced to physicians around the United States and Europe this fall.

The new device is equipped with a unique 1927 nm wavelength Thulium laser that offers a few notable improvements that will benefit both patients and physicians.

Those who have been able to test drive the new laser say it offers excellent versatility and greater ease of use when treating body areas broader than the face. Some of the reported features are as follows:

• One laser system – Dual fiber technology
• Thulium laser provides quick removal of undesirable pigmentation
• Improved comfort and easier operation
• “Focal cooling” built into the handpiece
• Procedure speed may increase by 25 percent

Solta Medical will bring the new laser system to physicians this fall during the Fraxel illumiNATION tour (It’s not a rock concert – but there will be lasers!) To inquire about Fraxel laser skin resurfacing in Bellevue and Maple Valley, call Dr. Stacy’s office.

Solta Medical has just announced the launch of the new Thermage CPT system, an advancement that’s sure to improve the overall experience of patients who undergo skin tightening treatment.

Thermage with “Comfort Pulse Technology” allows your doctor to deliver therapeutic heat more effectively across the treated area, increasing efficiency and comfort simultaneously. The changes brought by CPT also include a special vibrating hand piece for added comfort during treatment.

Doctors like Robert Weiss, MD, at the Maryland Laser, Skin and Vein Institute say the improvements made to Thermage with the CPT system allow more energy delivery and greater comfort, which in turn allows physicians to “provide a more efficacious treatment and increase overall patient satisfaction.”

Solta Medical spokespersons say the technology is a significant “leap forward.”  CEO Stephen J. Fanning says, “[CPT] is not just an incremental improvement – it is a step change in non-surgical anti-aging technology, allowing physicians to achieve better patient outcomes in less time and with more comfort than ever before.”
