HAYWARD, Calif., June 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Solta Medical, Inc.
(Nasdaq: SLTM), the global market leader in aesthetic skin
treatments, today announced Isolaz® 2, the next
generation acne therapy device. Isolaz 2 effectively targets the
root causes of acne through a unique, clinically proven combination
of vacuum extraction for deep pore purification, broadband light to
destroy acne causing bacteria, and a profusion mode to enhance the
delivery of topicals into the skin.
"The Isolaz technology is an invaluable tool that sets me apart
as a skin specialist; these days, patients want non-systemic and no
downtime yet effective acne treatments and Isolaz technology offers
all of the above," said Dr. Kenneth
Beer, MD., PA., founder of Kenneth
Beer MD PA, General, Cosmetic And Surgical Dermatology
and voluntary assistant professor at the University of Miami and a consulting associate in
the Department of Medicine at Duke
University. "The new disposable tips in a variety of sizes
offer more options for speed, safety and comfort, expanding
treatment area options to include the face, back and chest. With
the Isolaz 2 system, physicians can offer safe acne treatments for
individual patient needs. I have used the Isolaz technology with
great efficacy on many of my patients as well as on my sons."
Isolaz 2 uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy combined with
vacuum technology clinical proven to safely and effectively treat
acne in a three-step process – Cleanse, Purify, Replenish. First, a
vacuum removes sebaceous materials to cleanse the pores; second,
broadband light purifies by destroying acne-causing bacteria;
third, skincare topicals are infused into the skin for a
replenishing effect. Isolaz 2 treatment tips come in small, medium
and large sizes along with various lamp filters, allowing
physicians to customize treatments to their patients' needs. The
disposable, "treat and toss" tips and profusion applicators are
hygienic, reduce possible risks of contamination and minimize
post-treatment cleanup.
"We are very excited about the expanded options Isolaz 2 creates
for both physician and patients," said Stephen J. Fanning, Chairman of the Board,
President and CEO of Solta Medical, Inc. "Isolaz 2 is a fast,
comfortable and non-systemic way to treat acne for almost immediate
results and fewer breakouts over time. The profusion treatments
allow for topical infusion, and Isolaz 2 is safe for all skin
types, setting it apart from competitors."
Clinical studies have shown drying and flattening of lesions
within 24-48 hours post treatment.1 Patients have seen a
decrease in the amount of oil production starting after the first
treatment, and also a significant decrease in number, frequency and
severity of "break-outs."2 Additionally, non-responders
to orals, topicals and lasers experienced over a 75% reduction in
lesions within two months.2
