ATHERTON, Calif., Oct. 4 -- Steven K. Struck, M.D., a leading expert on facial rejuvenation, today received the first FRAXEL(TM) Laser Treatment (FLT) system in Northern California from Reliant Technologies. Representing a scientific breakthrough in laser skin resurfacing technology, FLT achieves skin improvements that approach those of conventional CO(2) lasers, without the associated side effects or downtime. Dr. Struck -- an early FLT adopter who was instrumental in the laser's preliminary trials and the first to market with a number of additional non-surgical breakthroughs -- is currently treating patients with the FLT system in his Atherton and Los Gatos office locations.

According to Dr. Struck, FLT is a remarkable new technology that dramatically rejuvenates the skin by alleviating wrinkles, dark sunspots, discoloration and pigmentation without the uncomfortable side effects and inconvenient downtime generally associated with traditional procedures. In comparison to other deep skin resurfacing procedures that require over eight weeks for a full recovery, an FLT treatment requires little more than two hours out of the day -- after which patients can immediately apply make-up and return to routine activities. Results are observable even after the first treatment session and each successive treatment brings further improvement. As with CO(2) lasers, the deeper wrinkles continue to improve with time for months after treatment.

"Basically, it's what everyone has been trying to do for years, but until now, cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists were forced to choose between treatment efficacy and downtime," explained Struck. "With FLT, you truly get the best of both worlds -- extreme efficacy that produces the dramatic results our patients are seeking -- without the long downtime and associated risks. With the addition of the FDA-approved FLT system, I can continue to provide my patients with the latest state-of-the-art procedures for non-surgical facial rejuvenation."

Invented by Reliant scientists in Palo Alto, Calif., the enabling FLT systems are based on a new science of "fractional" skin repair. Similar to digital alteration of photographs and paintings, the clinical effect of this treatment technique is to alter the appearance of aging and sun-damaged skin. By treating a fraction of the skin's surface at a time, FLT provides the positive results and effectiveness of traditional skin resurfacing without the downtime. Unlike traditional CO(2) laser treatments that remove the top layer of skin, the FLT procedure treats the skin fractionally by producing patterns of tiny, microscopic laser hits, or pin points, that are separated by areas of unaffected, healthy tissue. The spared healthy tissue between treatment zones contains viable cells that promote rapid healing of the outer skin layers.
