In a prospective, multicenter, randomized control trial, Lumenis IPL with OPT™ combined with MGX significantly improved signs and symptoms of DED due to MGD.

In a prospective single arm study, Lumenis IPL with OPT™ combined with MGX reduced the number and severity of symptoms and signs of dry eye disease in subjects with moderate to severe MGD.

In a prospective paired-eye study of patients wearing contact lenses and experiencing contact lens related dry eye, eyes treated with Lumenis IPL with OPTTM improved in signs and symptoms of dry eye disease (DED).

Lumenis Be. Ltd., a leading energy-based medical device company for eye care and aesthetic solutions, announced today the launch of OptiLIFT™, a new, proprietary Dynamic Muscle Stimulation technology (DMSt™) for toning facial muscles to address lower lid laxity and impaired blinking without the need for surgery.

Lumenis’ first-in-class, proprietary and FDA-cleared fractional laser technology for hair loss treatment has the power to transform the lives of millions of hair loss sufferers in the U.S.

Researchers found that 20 tear cytokines decreased significantly after IPL treatment, illustrating how IPL suppresses DED’s vicious cycle of inflammation.

Ablative lasers generate beams of coherent light that are absorbed by the body’s tissue as energy. The energy is delivered through a narrow range of wavelengths, and in the target area, the energy causes temperature elevation which results in tissue evaporation or ablation. Ablative lasers effectively treat a broad range of skin conditions by removing all or part of the skin. The body’s natural healing processes then replace the damaged skin with new and healthy tissue. Although several types of ablative lasers exist, differing mainly by wavelength, CO2 lasers have long been considered the industry’s ‘Gold Standard’ for ablation, delivering an exceptional ratio between ablation and coagulation (heating tissue without evaporating it).

Skin resurfacing procedures use lasers to reduce the signs of aging and improve skin texture, laxity and tone. They are also used for scar and stretch mark reduction as well as for treatment of a variety of other cosmetic concerns. Skin resurfacing can be achieved with either ablative or non-ablative lasers (see Non-Ablative Skin Resurfacing). Ablative resurfacing removes thin layers of the skin and is ideal for patients seeking a dramatic improvement in a single session.

M22™ Universal IPL module enables you to treat a myriad of conditions with a single, versatile handpiece. The Universal IPL handpiece is designed with 9 ExpertFilters™ tailored to the condition being treated and computer-enabled filter recognition for enhanced safety and ease-of use. With the Universal IPL handpiece change ExpertFilters™ in seconds instead of attaching a whole new handpiece. The Universal IPL handpiece saves not only treatment time and storage space, but is also extremely cost efficient because there is no need to purchase multiple IPL handpieces. Three SapphireCool™ lightguides, for large and small areas, maximize patient comfort with continuous contact cooling.

A non-ablative laser generates beams of coherent light using a very narrow range of wavelengths.The light beams selectively target and heat the water chromophore in the skin. As a result the temperature of the tissue rises which stimulates neocollagenesis. There are various forms of non-ablative lasers and they typically have a good water absorption mechanism that impacts the water chromophores but does not cause ablation. Fiber lasers are commonly used for non-ablative treatments. A fiber laser is an optical fiber that is “doped” with elements designed to generate a laser beam at the desired wavelength. Erbium Glass is a typical fiber laser used for this purpose.
