Cutera Rolls Out Skin Rejuvenation Device

Posted on: Thursday, 5 October 2006, 15:00 CDT

Cutera, the Californian maker of laser and other light-based aesthetics systems for practitioners worldwide, has launched LimeLight, the first programmable wavelength three-in-one device for skin rejuvenation, pigmented lesions and facial vascular lesions.

"Pigmented and vascular lesions of the face are the number one concern for many patients, and visible light technologies have proven to be the best approach for these skin blemishes," said Dr Victor Ross, a certified dermatologist at Scripps Clinic in San Diego. "With LimeLight's programmability and flexibility, I can customize treatments for a variety of lesions, and I'm seeing excellent results."

According to a report published by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, during 2005, non-ablative facial rejuvenation treatments in the US generated approximately $370 million for physician offices that offer light-based aesthetic treatments. LimeLight is an enhancement to Cutera's existing facial rejuvenation technology, offering broader functionality and increased versatility.

"LimeLight takes facial rejuvenation to a new level," said Dr Barry DiBernardo, a certified plastic surgeon based in New Jersey. "Unlike other broad spectrum devices, LimeLight is the first device that gives practitioners control of the parameters most effective for each particular lesion. By tuning in the exact target settings on LimeLight, the treatment time for diffuse redness and pigmented lesions on my patients has been significantly improved."
