Solta Medical Launches Clear + Brilliant pelo for Laser Hair Removal
Solta Medical, a division of Valeant Pharmaceuticals North America LLC launched its Clear + Brilliant pelo™ laser for permanent hair reduction. The US launch of this device, which joins Solta Medical's aesthetic device portfolio, follows a unique partnership with German Medical Engineering, (GME), which develops high-performance aesthetic energy devices.
The Clear + Brilliant pelo laser system uses a novel linear scanning approach with integrated contact cooling to deliver the effectiveness of current best-in-class diode laser hair removal technology with the fastest and largest treatment area available (50mm by 15mm). In addition, a unique all-inclusive subscription model will provide ease-of-mind and simplicity in ensuring consistent device performance and dependable support, according to the company.
Clear + Brilliant pelo will first be made exclusively available to current Solta Medical customers in the U.S, with full release scheduled in the fourth quarter of 2015.
According to Miami-based dermatologist, Dr. Leyda Bowes, "The Clear + Brilliant pelo laser hair removal system offers my practice high-patient satisfaction with the fastest treatments and solid results. Its scanning delivery mode allows comfortable laser hair removal, while reducing significantly the time spent at the office. The Clear + Brilliant pelo system also allows us to treat most skin types, which is a major consideration in an ethnically diverse city like Miami."
"The Clear + Brilliant pelo is redesigning the way we are treating unwanted hair in the aesthetic industry by introducing a novel linear scanning technology that delivers laser energy very fast with uniform heating. This new delivery system creates an efficacious and more comfortable way to permanently reduce unwanted hair with a demonstrated safety profile. It's wonderful to see laser technologies going to the next level," said Ft. Lauderdale-based dermatologist Dr. Shino Bay Aguilera.
Leading San Diego based-dermatologist, Dr. Sabrina Fabi recently said, "I am excited for the launch of the Clear + Brilliant pelo! The 808nm wavelength allows me to treat a range of Fitzpatrick skin types, and the cooling crystal protects the epidermis while doing so. Unlike other diodes in the space, its cooling crystal helps mitigate pain, and I appreciate being able to alter the temperature of the cooling crystal."
"One patient called it 'Extraordinary.' She says there was very little discomfort during the treatment and that she was surprised and impressed by how well it worked after only one treatment, commented Atlanta-based Dermatologist Dr. Jordana Gilman. "I think it is faster and less painful than other laser hair removal devices, and I would choose the Clear + Brilliant pelo over the LightSheer, by Lumenis Ltd., when treating patients."
