The clinical research findings, which were presented at the
32nd American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery
(ASLMS) Annual Conference in April
2012, demonstrated that patients experienced improved
satisfaction with the overall appearance of their skin. Patients
who received the Clear + Brilliant Permea treatment followed
by C E Ferulic also perceived a more rapid
reduction in post-treatment recovery time, including reduction in
redness and swelling.
"We are delighted to be working closely with the SkinCeuticals
team to provide physicians and their patients with an opportunity
to experience the benefits of this new and exciting approach to
skincare treatments," said Stephen J.
Fanning, President and Chief Executive Office of Solta
Medical, Inc. "Born out of our expertise in fractional lasers,
Clear + Brilliant has become the go-to product for physicians who
want to give their patients the benefits of a fractional
resurfacing treatment with limited recovery time. Adding the new
Permea handpiece to the Clear + Brilliant laser system and
including C E Ferulic in the treatment regimen serve to bring
additional benefits to patients who are seeking an effective
in-office and at-home treatment."
The co-promotion includes an exclusive C E Ferulic in-office
professional system and a home care recovery system that will be
offered with each series of the new Clear + Brilliant Permea
treatments.
"As advanced skincare innovators, we are excited for this
collaboration with Solta Medical, Inc. and look forward to
providing a new way of approaching complementary skincare for
improved, efficacious results," said Stuart
Leitch, VP Marketing of SkinCeuticals. "The gold
standard of antioxidants, C E Ferulic is a revolutionary
antioxidant combination that effectively neutralizes damaging free
radicals to increase the skin's natural photoprotection by eight
times. It also helps reduce inflammation and stimulate collagen
synthesis. In conjunction with the Clear + Brilliant laser
treatment, a recent clinical study, showed C E Ferulic
complemented the laser treatment results with a perceived reduction
in post-treatment recovery time by 2 days, including reduction in
redness and swelling."[1]
