Lumenis Relume Pigmentation System with BClear

Lumenis Relume is useful for:

Lost pigment can now be restored safely and effectively, often within just weeks.

Of these conditions, stretch marks and acne scars are two of the most common examples of hypopigmented skin, which affect men and women of all ages, including adolescents. The ReLume systems unique light-based therapy masks the appearance of stretch marks and acne scars by pigmenting skin affected by such conditions.

Conventional therapies have been largely ineffective in treating hypopigmentation. Topical retinoids and laser treatments can improve the clinical appearance of early stretch marks and scars, but, until now treatment for mature stretch marks and hypopigmented scars were ineffective. Clients can return to their normal activities immediately and, within weeks, the appearance of stretch marks and scars is significantly improved.

Loss of skin pigmentation occurs as a complication of injury to the skin from trauma, surgery, laser therapy and burns. Diminished pigmentation is also noted in mature stretch marks that occur as a result of pregnancy or from rapid weight fluctuation. As stretch marks or striae distensae enlarge, they become fibrotic and devoid of color. Like scars, such conditions can have a negative impact on self-esteem.

ReLume is the first FDA cleared device of its kind to offer a practical treatment solution for clients with white stretch marks and hypopigmented scars. Utilizing the latest advances in fiber-optic technology, the ReLume system precisely delivers therapeutic 290 to 320 nanometer light to the targeted area. The devices unique light stimulates melanocytes and enhances the production of melanin to restore lost pigment in the affected area.

With the addition of BClear capabilities, the new system will also have the flexibility to treat psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis (eczema) and seborrheic dermatitis . The innovative technology of BClear combines the benefits of highly effective UVB light therapy with the latest advances in fiber-optic light delivery technology. It precisely delivers high doses of UVB light through a fiber-optic cable to targeted areas, which unlike the practice of traditional UVB therapies, prevents harmful UVB exposure to healthy skin. This allows clients to experience successful results in fewer treatment sessions.

Macrene Alexiades-Armenakas, M.D., Ph.D., a dermatologist who has been using the ReLume device in a clinical study, stated, Five to six treatments often achieved 75 to 100 percent repigmentation of stretch marks . ReLume treatments are painless, safe for all skin types, and require no downtime. Study participants were very satisfied with the cosmetic improvement after undergoing ReLume therapy.
