Palomar Medical Technologies, a researcher and developer of light-based systems for cosmetic treatments, has launched PaloVia Skin Renewing Laser, a FDA-cleared, at-home laser to reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

Palomar’s patented fractional technology has been proven by dermatologists worldwide and has been adapted and perfected for use at home, delivering a visible improvement in fine lines and wrinkles.

Palomar Medical Technologies CEO Joseph Caruso said the PaloVia Skin Renewing Laser is the result of years of comprehensive research and development and the beginning of what they expect will be a new era in delivering convenient light-based technology treatments for people to use in the privacy and comfort of their own homes.

"We are thrilled to offer our first-to-market, FDA-cleared laser to consumers who can now experience the clinically proven benefits of laser skin treatments, on their own terms at home," Caruso said.

The PaloVia laser works below the surface where wrinkles form, unlike lotions and creams, which are most effective on the skin’s outer layer.

The PaloVia laser generates pulses of micro-fine laser light that reach deeply into the skin’s sub-layers, treating the skin’s aging support structure and then the body’s natural healing process sweeps away the older, damaged tissue and rebuilds it with fresh, new collagen and elastin, the crucial building blocks of smooth, youthful skin.
