Business Wire
Candela Corporation (NASDAQ: CLZR) announced today that two
studies have reported superior results on patients who benefited
from the Candela Vbeam� laser treatments for bruising
resulting from cosmetic procedures. The studies concluded that the
Vbeam pulsed-dye laser significantly expedited the healing
process, improved outcomes, and provided greater overall patient
satisfaction.
A study published in the March/April 2009 edition of the
Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, entitled: �Pulsed-Dye
Laser for Treating Ecchymoses After Facial Cosmetic Procedures�
by DeFatta, R. J., Krishna, S., and Williams, E. F., III concluded
that �the Vbeam laser treatment resulted in a 63% mean improvement
in ecchymoses scores within forty-eight (48) to seventy-two (72)
hours.�
The second study, a 2009 ASLMS abstract, entitled: �A
Simple Solution to a Common Problem� evaluated the
effectiveness and safety of the long-pulse PDL (the
Vbeam) for the treatment of ecchymoses. In this study
by Elizabeth Hale, M.D., Julie Karen, M.D., Chris Hunzeker, M.D.,
Elliot Weiss, M.D., Leonard Bernstein, M.D., Lori Brightman, M.D.,
Anne Chapas, M.D., and Roy Geronemus, M.D. results showed that
twenty-four hours post-treatment with the Vbeam laser, the
average improvement was 62% and 13% for treated and untreated
bruises, respectively.
Edwin F. Williams, M.D., Director, The Williams Center Plastic
Surgery Specialists, and nationally recognized plastic surgeon
pioneered this breakthrough Vbeam treatment. �Anytime you
penetrate the skin there is a potential for bruising and we find
that it is the bruising which occurs after many of these procedures
that prevents patients from getting out into the public. It is
extremely difficult to cover these unsightly marks with make-up and
bruising can last for a number of weeks,� said Dr. Williams. Dr.
Williams continued, �After just one treatment with the Vbeam, our
patients experience dramatic clearance of the injured blood
vessels. This treatment is a significant differentiator to our
practice and we are excited to finally be able to offer our
patients a safe and easy treatment of bruising that works!�
Roy G. Geronemus, M.D., Director, Laser & Skin Surgery
Center of New York, commented, �There are millions of surgical and
injectable procedures performed every year which often have
bruising as a side effect that can last up to two weeks.� Dr.
Geronemus continued, �This is a significant new use for the
Vbeam which was already our �workhorse� laser because of its
efficacy and safety profile for a wide variety of applications
including skin rejuvenation, the treatment of rosacea, acne,
diffuse redness, scars and more.�
