YOKNEAM, ISRAEL and IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - July 06, 2010) - Syneron Medical Ltd. (NASDAQ: ELOS), http://www.syneron.com, a leading medical aesthetic device innovator, reports today the growing popularity of eMatrix™ amongst physicians worldwide in safely and effectively treating all skin tones. Historically, physicians have struggled to find treatments that could deliver significant noticeable results for all skin tones while remaining gentle enough to prevent adverse events. The most common dermatological concerns for patients with darker skin tones, which include African-American, Asian, Hispanic, East Indian and other darker skin type patients, are scarring and discoloration.
Dr. Doris Day, an author and a board certified dermatologist at Day Dermatology and Aesthetics in Manhattan, New York, recently appeared on The View (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoNoqOofUPY) to demonstrate the latest aesthetic breakthroughs that address the common concerns of her patients with ethnic skin tones. Dr. Day noted, "It's important to use treatments that are designed with skin of color in mind, otherwise there is a risk of increased scarring and discoloration after the treatment." According to Dr. Day, Sublative Rejuvenation with eMatrix is opening up a whole new world of safe and efficacious treatments for patients with darker skin who previously had limited options.
Sublative Rejuvenation, an entirely new treatment category in energy-based facial rejuvenation, uses fractionated bi-polar radio frequency (RF) energy to place the maximum amount of heat into the dermal layer of the skin with minimal disruption of the epidermal layer of the skin intact. "The innovative method of energy delivery is what truly sets Sublative Rejuvenation apart from all the other energy-based facial rejuvenation treatments," said Dr. Michael Gold, a board certified dermatologist at the Gold Skin Care Center in Nashville, Tennessee. "Now I can effectively treat challenging skin irregularities like acne scars, and for the first time have the freedom to safely treat my darker skin patients."
Sublative Rejuvenation with eMatrix is anticipated to be a one of the leading topics at the upcoming IMCAS Asia conference, held in Hong Kong, China in July. "Over the years, we've witnessed a number of technologies that attempted to achieve the same effective and reproducible results for ethnic skin patients as seen on lighter skin patients," said Dr. Henry Chan, a dermatologist in Hong Kong, China. "My clinical findings of Sublative Rejuvenation with eMatrix, which I will present at IMCAS Asia, shows that it is truly one of the few devices to safely and successfully induce skin rejuvenation, especially acne scarring amongst my skin of color patients. It is quite remarkable and I'm excited to see the expanded capabilities of Sublative Rejuvenation beyond our current knowledge of this novel treatment."
Attendees at the 2010 IMCAS Asia conference (www.imcas.com) can obtain a demonstration and preview of multiple product offerings at the Syneron and Candela booth #EO1.
