2004 MAY 6 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Palomar Medical Technologies Inc (PMTI) has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market the LuxV handpiece for the treatment of acne.

Prior to this clearance, Palomar marketed and sold the LuxV handpiece for the treatment of pigmented lesions. With this new clearance, Palomar can now market the LuxV handpiece for the treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris.

The LuxV is a handpiece attachment for use with Palomar's family of Lux Pulsed Light systems, including the StarLux, MediLux, and EsteLux system. The LuxV is Palomar's first handpiece to treat acne.

Christine C. Dierickx, MD, dermatologist and director of the Boom Laser Clinic in Belgium, commented, "The advantage of Palomar's approach to the treatment of acne is that it doesn't involve medication and can be performed in the office without relying on the patient's compliance at home.

"Use of the LuxV handpiece offers acne sufferers a non-drug, easy and effective alternative without the side effects commonly found with drugs. Patients have been extremely happy with the results and enjoy benefits of long lasting clear skin after just a few treatments."
