Lutronic® Announces FDA Clearance for INFINI™, an Ideal Solution for Wrinkle Reduction Through 3-D Volumization
Fremont, California (PRWEB) July 23, 2013 -- Lutronic, a global leader of lasers and therapeutic devices for aesthetic and medical applications, announced today that the INFINI™ is now available for sale in the USA, following its receipt of the 510(k) clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). "The INFINI is a device that provides a new dimension in RF technology that will be well received by USA physicians and patients alike,” stated Ann Marie Collier, Global Products & Marketing Officer. “Previously released outside of the USA, the Infini is clinically proven in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and South America and has enabled Investigators and Customers to perform thousands of procedures. Their collective input indicates Infini has many technologically advanced features physicians appreciate and clinical outcomes their patients love, for a positive impact on clinic business.”
Infini’s approach is an ideal solution to create targeted coagulation zones in aging, sagging skin with wrinkles. Complete control over treatment depth and energy levels enables a multi-layered treatment approach with no electrothermal damage to the epidermis.
“Infini’s proven design delivers improved wrinkle reduction through 3-dimensional energy delivery to volumize tissue and deliver improved outcomes for a broad range of skin types, including darker skin types and tanned skin,” said R. Glen Calderhead, PhD and Vice President of Scientific Affairs at Lutronic. “Infini can deliver the RF energy into the dermis up to 3.5 mm deep, which has many clinical benefits. Adjustable target depth control allows for precise and controllable fractionated coagulation zones within a specific layer of the dermis; physicians can choose to provide mild to aggressive treatments, even in delicate areas. Additionally, the treatment is well tolerated by patients, thanks to the ComfortFlow™ technology.”
Built-in ComfortFlow technology minimizes patient discomfort and allows for quick and easy recovery. “The serial needle insertion, or flow needle technology, provides a more comfortable treatment for the patient,” stated Dr. Franco Lauro, Plastic Surgeon, Bologna, Italy, stated, “INFINI has had a tremendously positive effect [on my clinic]. It is so well accepted by patients that we’ve performed more than 500 treatments in [the first] six months.”
The Infini is an ideal year round treatment solution. The direct dermal energy delivery allows physicians to treat patients with darker or tanned skin, and effectively lowers the risk of PIH. “I can go 3.5 mm deep in skin without hurting the epidermis; …help with deep wrinkles and many other treatments that you want to perform, [while] avoiding post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation,” stated Dr. Ivan Perez, Chief Dermatology Section Fundación Santa Fé de Bogotá, Colombia.
