Reliant Technologies, makers of the Fraxel Laser, announced on July 7, 2007, "FDA clearance for the Fraxel re:fine laser system"

Read the full release.

What does it mean for patients? Reliant Technologies' original Fraxel Laser received clearances in 2003 for the "coagulation of soft tissue", and in 2004 for the treatment of pigmented lesions (age and sun spots) and wrinkles around the eyes, then in 2005 for skin resurfacing and melasma (pregnancy mask). In 2006 the laser was cleared for acne scars and surgical scars.

The new Re:Fine™ laser system, a less aggressive device that should start popping up in unexpected places soon...like the office of your OB/GYN or family physician.

Wile not as strong as some of their other lasers, the Re_fine laser system is "designed to offer patients an additional choice in skin rejuvenation treatments that would provide a gentle, yet effective, treatment for pigmentation, texture, tone and periorbital fine lines with limited pain and downtime."
