PALOMAR MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES SKINTEL MELANIN READER
Application Melanin reader for use with light-based treatments
Palomar Medical Technologies,Inc. (NASDAQ: PMTI), a leading researcher and developer of lasers and light systems for aesthetic treatments,is pleased to announce the availability of the revolutionary Skintel Melanin Reader — the only FDA-cleared melanin reader for use with light-based treatments. The Skintel reader was developed by Palomar’s outstanding research organization to better and more accurately measure skin melanin density. The Skintel reader provides an additional element of treatment confidence by determining an average melanin density in an area of skin to be treated, in a quantitative manner, prior to a light-based aesthetic treatment, such as hair removal or photo rejuvenation. Understanding how much
melanin is in the skin helps the aesthetic professional to better choose the treatment settings on the Palomar Icon Aesthetic System for enhanced treatment outcomes, while minimising the risk of over-treatment. The Skintel Melanin Reader measures skin diffuse reflectance at three unique wavelengths of light and computes these values into a Melanin Index value, which wirelessly sets the suggested parameters in the Palomar Icon Aesthetic System for a starting treatment test spot fluence. The Skintel reader offers practitioners a quantitative method of measuring melanin content for better treatment guidance and for increased confidence in aesthetic light-based treatments.

Esteemed ultrasound-focused medical technology company from the US, Ulthera®, is delighted to introduce Ultherapy®.
