Committed to raising sun protection awareness, Solta Medical
will provide on-site skin cancer screenings for golfers, caddies
and fans alike. Leading dermatologists will also provide
consumers with safe and effective ways to treat a range of skin
conditions, including sun damage. Solta will be showcasing
the Fraxel 1927 nm wavelength treatment at the tournament, which is
an effective aid for treating Actinic Keratoses (AK) or Solar
Keratoses – a precancerous skin condition caused by the damaging
effects of the sun.
"By offering the non-invasive Fraxel 1927 treatment, I am able
to treat actinic keratoses and pigmentation associated with sun
damage, while ensuring patients a safe and comfortable treatment,"
said Suzanne Kilmer, M.D. at the
Laser and Skin Surgery Center of Northern
California. "The versatility of the Fraxel technology, also,
allows me to treat multiple body areas during one treatment
session."
Last year, the non-ablative Fraxel 1927 nm wavelength debuted as
part of the Fraxel re:store Dual platform. Due to the Fraxel 1927
nm wavelength's remarkable success, it has become the gold standard
for dermatologists around the world to address AKs and other skin
conditions.
"Solta Medical is excited to sponsor the Fresh Express Classic
tournament for the second consecutive year as we continue our
campaign designed to educate golfers and fans about sun protection
through screenings and treatment option awareness," said
Jeff Nardoci, Vice President of
Global Marketing at Solta Medical. "The new Fraxel 1927 nm system
is the only laser technology approved for the treatment of AKs that
often plague outdoor enthusiasts due to over exposure to the
sun."
