HAYWARD, Calif., May 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Solta Medical,
Inc. (Nasdaq: SLTM), the pioneer in fractional resurfacing and a
global market leader in aesthetic treatments, today announced the
availability of the Fraxel re:pair SST Laser Platform in
the United States. The updated
platform addresses the major needs of aging and sun-damaged skin
and offers physicians unmatched versatility and customization to
treat a broad range of clinical indications. It also offers
patients a fast, single-pass single-treatment option providing
impressive resurfacing results with more comfort and minimal
healing time than a traditional Fraxel re:pair treatment.
Unlike any other fractional laser system, Fraxel re:pair SST has
four unique handpieces: two fractional handpieces for both shallow
and deep fractional skin resurfacing needs and two fully ablative
handpieces for incisional, debulking and full-coverage skin
resurfacing treatments. The fractional handpieces include the
improved FMDA™ (Fractional Micro-Dermal Ablation) 600 micron
handpiece that allows for a 20-minute, high-coverage, single-pass
treatment to address sun damage, fine lines, texture and tone. This
procedure is well tolerated with minimal downtime and remarkable
clinical results in as little as one week.
"Fraxel re:pair SST is a significant advance for both physicians
and patients," said Cameron Rokhsar,
MD, FAAD, FAACS, Assistant Clinical Professor at the Albert
Einstein College of Medicine in New
York, and founder of the New York Cosmetic, Skin & Laser
Surgery Center. "It is the most versatile laser on the market and
the results live up to the highest standards set by Solta Medical,
the company that first developed fractional laser technology. I am
particularly excited about offering the FDDA 600 micron option
since many patients want the results of a traditional Fraxel
re:pair treatment but do not have the time to either receive the
treatment or go through the longer healing process."
Fraxel re:pair SST also provides the benefits and ease of Solta
Medical's proprietary IOTS™ (Intelligent Optical Tracking System)
which allows smooth and precise energy application as opposed to
the stamping method of less advanced lasers.
"We are very pleased to include Fraxel re:pair SST as the latest
offering in the Fraxel portfolio of products," said Stephen J. Fanning, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Solta Medical, Inc. "Fraxel re:pair SST and
Fraxel® Dual 1550/1927 respectively offer ablative and non-ablative
solutions for dermatologists, plastic surgeons and clinicians
worldwide. Since 2003, more than 800,000 Fraxel procedures have
been safely performed in over 80 countries on patients of all ages,
skin types and body areas, resulting in significant clinical
outcomes and unmatched physician acceptance."
