Palomar Medical Technologies Inc (Nasdaq: PMTI), a leading researcher and developer of light-based systems for cosmetic treatments, today announced additional funding of $888,000 and a 12 month contract extension from the Department of the Army to continue development of a light-based self-treatment device for Pseudofolliculitis Barbae (”PFB”). The initial $2.5 million research contract was awarded to Palomar in February 2004 and was scheduled to last for nineteen months. This program extension will allow Palomar to evaluate new technology beyond the current research phase of the program and incorporate those
elements in the subsequent development of a self use device. This extension funds the program through October 2006.
PFB, commonly known as “razor bumps,” is a chronic, dermatological disorder that currently afflicts over 50% of African Americans and Hispanic military personnel. The condition, caused by shaving, occurs when the hair shaft embeds itself in the skin; resulting in painful pustules and possible disfigurement if left untreated. To date, the only effective treatment is the cessation of shaving. The high incidence of this condition in the military directly impacts unit cohesion and combat readiness as soldiers are unable to comply with military grooming requirements and are not able to wear “tight fitting” gas masks and other protective equipment. The changing demographics of the US military has led to an increase of administrative discharges attributed to PFB and has heightened the need for an alternate solution.
Commenting on the additional funding, Dr. Michael Smotrich, Palomar’s Chief Technical Officer, remarked, “Palomar is strongly motivated to provide the military, and eventually the civilian community, with a self-treatment device capable of controlling PFB. This product development, based on the “hair management” technology which we have contributed to over many years, will remove an obstacle facing African Americans and Hispanics both in the service and in the private sector. This program extension will help us to provide the government a complete evaluation of current technology and will ensure an optimum solution to the PFB problem.”
This contract is awarded by the Department of Defense Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP) of the Office of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) to private and public organizations having demonstrated capability in solving “Military Relevant” medical problems. This work is supported by the U.S. Army Medical Research and Material Command under Contract No. W81XWH-04-C-0069. The views, opinions, and/or findings contained in this report are those of Palomar and should not be construed as an official Department of the Army position or decision unless so designated by other documentation.

About Palomar Medical Technologies Inc: Palomar is a leading researcher and developer of light-based systems for cosmetic treatments.

Raleigh Laser Hair Removal and medical spa expert Kile Law Provides guidelines for choosing the appropriate Laser Hair Removal system.

Laser hair removal has come a long way since the first laser for hair removal received FDA clearance in the mid 1990’s. Older generation lasers were very slow, very painful and worked only on individuals with very dark hair and very light skin. Today, lasers can work on all skin colors and some lasers are even safe for treating tanned skinned.

Which laser to choose? -Spot size

The spot size of a laser determines how much skin area can be covered per laser pulse. Lasers with larger spot sizes (18 mm)can cover more area much more quickly. For example, a laser hair removal treatment of the back or full legs could take as long as 2 hours with older lasers. Today, these areas can be completely treated in less than 20 minutes. The spot size not only determines the speed and comfort of the treatment, but the efficacy as well. In the April 2004 issue of Derm Surgery, a peer reviewed medical study showed that lasers with an 18 mm spot size (exclusive to the Candela GentleLase www.candelallaser.com ) was more effective at removing hair than lasers with smaller spot sizes.

-Cooling systems
Each laser has a different way of cooling the skin. Some lasers use a topical cooling gel, others use a chilled tip. The most consistent, comfortable and safest way to cool the skin is with a Dynamic Cooling Device or DCD. Lasers equipped with a DCD cooling system are so effective in providing cooling to the skin that no topical numbing creams are necessary.

-Light Sources
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Systems are not lasers. They can remove hair, but recent peer reviewed medical studies show that most lasers are much more effective in treating unwanted hair than IPL systems

Choosing a Laser Hair Removal Center

Board Certified Physician
Many laser hair removal centers today operate without a physician. It is important to be certain that a board certified physician is on the premises or available in case of a concern. To determine whether or not a physician is board certified, go to www.abms.org. Board certified plastic surgeons can be found at www.plasticsurgery.org

Possible complications:
Complications with newer laser hair removal systems is not common, particularly if the laser is equipped with a Dynamic Cooling Device. It is important, however to determine how the laser clinic handles potential complications. Is there a physician available to examine the problem and prescribe medications if necessary?

Packages of treatments
Laser Hair Removal works on hair while it is in the growth phase only. At any given time, between 20% to 40% of the hair on any face or body area may be in a growth phase. Multiple treatments are required for complete clearance of the hair. However, each person may respond slightly differently. Laser hair removal centers should charge for just one treatment at a time. A reputable medical office or medical spa offering laser hair removal will offer individual treatments and not insist on payment of multiple treatments up front.

Pricing:
Because lasers for hair removal are much faster today than ever before, prices should be lower as well. An office offering laser hair removal can charge less for a laser hair removal treatment of the legs taking just 20 minutes vs. a 2 hour treatment with an older generation laser. Avoid centers offering “specials” on treatment packages, particularly if there is pressure to buy because a “special” is set to expire.

Consultation:
A complimentary consultation should be available for you to visit the facility, meet the laser technician and experience a spot test with the laser.

When considering a hair removal laser treatment, consumers should ask the following questions:

1) Is this laser FDA approved for hair removal on my skin type and hair color?

2) What is the spot size of the laser? In order for a laser to perform quickly and most effectively, it should have an 18mm spot size

3) Is the laser equipped with a dynamic cooling device (DCD)? This is the safest and most consistent method of cooling the skin. It ensures patient safety and comfort.

4) Is there a board-certified physician on site? A facility without appropriate medical supervision may not be the safest environment for a laser procedure.

5) Are treatments sold in a package or one at a time? Businesses that want your money up front may not have the confidence that their laser will perform effectively. A client should be able to pay for treatments as needed without paying all at once.

6) Are complimentary consultations and spot tests available? You should be able to meet the technician and experience a pulse or two before committing to a treatment.

When laser hair removal first appeared in doctor offices almost a decade ago, consumers complained about the pain — like a stiff rubber band snap — and the lengthy time needed to treat large areas — about an hour for lower legs. Today, thanks to advances in technology that eliminate these problems, laser hair removal is among the most popular non-surgical procedures for women nationwide and a growing trend among men.
According to Dr. Michelle Ehrlich, dermatologic surgeon at Palos Verdes Dermatology Associates, the driving force behind the new interest in laser hair removal is the arrival of new systems like the Arion alexandrite that are half as painful and twice as fast as other laser systems.
“Patients now have a more comfortable experience with laser hair removal,” said Dr. Ehrlich. “As a result, they’re willing to try treatments on larger
areas like legs, back, abdomen and chest.”
Dr. Ehrlich noted that another benefit with the Arion is the use of scanners that create perfect shapes for the laser beam. Physicians can set the scanner to focus the laser in perfectly straight lines, creating a perfect bikini line. Oval shapes are ideal for underarms, and rectangles help cover
large areas and avoid skipping or double-pulsing spots.
Because hair grows in three distinct stages, more than one treatment is needed for best results. An average of 4-8 treatments is usually required at
4-6 week intervals. After that, according to Dr. Ehrlich, patients are virtually hair-free and may come in for a touch-up annually.
Dr. Ehrlich recommends alexandrite lasers as best for people with light skin and dark hair. This type of laser targets the melanin found in the hair
follicle, thereby reducing hair growth. Patients with darker skin should ask their doctor about the newest Nd:YAG lasers, such as the Mydon, that use innovative cooling mechanisms to minimize discomfort and pigmentation changes.
“Once our patients realize that laser hair removal is less painful than waxing and more convenient than shaving, they are very enthusiastic,” said Dr. Ehrlich.

LaserHairRemovalFortLauderdale.Com has just added the Dermatologic Laser & Surgery Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to their rapidly growing site. Patients throughout the Fort Lauderdale area will now be able to visit LaserHairRemovalFortLauderdale.Com in order to find information concerning this participating clinic.

Men and women have always looked for ways to permanently remove unwanted hair. Technology has, of course, greatly improved our methods of removing hair over the years. The physicians at the Dermatologic Laser & Surgery Center perform laser hair removal treatments using the Epilight Hair Removal System. The Epilight Hair Removal System allows for removal of all hair types, on any part of the body and hair color in virtually all skin pigment types. This is truly the most versatile hair removal system today.

The treatment offers patients long-term results, faster treatment, less pain and fewer side effects than traditional hair removal methods. The Epilight treatment is so effective some patients have experienced no hair re-growth for more than 7 years. Because of his extensive experience with hair removal devices since 1995, Dr. Stewart was selected as one of only fifteen physicians across the country to participate in the clinical and investigative studies with the Epilight. As a result of these studies the FDA approved Epilight in July 1997.

Rather than a laser treatment, the Epilight works by using a high intensity pulsed light to damage and destroy hair shafts and follicles. The light emitted from the Epilight system is absorbed specifically by hair, with little to no damage to surrounding skin. The Epilight system offers greater versatility, permitting our doctors to customize the treatment according to the individual needs of the patient. Because of the high energy and large spot size, Epilight permits treating large areas in a short time.

SanJoseLaserHairRemoval.Com has expanded again by adding the Lowen Laser Institute in San Jose, California to their rapidly growing site. Patients throughout the San Jose area will now be able to visit SanJoseLaserHairRemoval.Com in order to find information concerning this participating clinic.

The Lowen Laser Institute is dedicated to bringing you the most up-to-date laser technology available. They provide state-of-the-art treatment for all skin conditions for which laser treatment is recognized as effective. Laser treatments are provided either by Dr. Lowen or his specially-trained team of registered nurses as appropriate. Dr. Lowen has had a long interest in laser medicine and surgery. He was one of the first physicians in the Bay Area to introduce lasers for skin resurfacing, laser hair removal and tattoo treatment. For laser hair removal, the Lowen Laser Institute selected the Candela GentleLASE™ with Dynamic Cooling, which is believed to be the safest, most effective and cost-effective laser available today.

Lasers have been used for many years for a variety of medical cosmetic procedures including treatment of facial and leg veins, age spots and smoothing fine lines on the face. The GentleLASE™, a revolutionary long-pulse high-energy Alexandrite laser system, emits a beam of light that passes through the skin, to the hair follicle, where it is absorbed. The laser energy is transformed into heat, which disables the follicle, leaving the surrounding skin unchanged.

Your skin is protected from heat injury by the Dynamic Cooling Device, which places a burst of cryogen spray onto the skin before and after the laser pulse. Not only does this protect you against thermal injury, it makes the treatment much more comfortable. When large areas such as the back and legs are being treated you will appreciate the difference between the GentleLASE™ and other hair removal lasers.
