Light Dimensions Releases Clinical Study Results For The RejuvaWand Home-Use, LED And Infrared Light-Based Skincare Appliance
06/04/07
Many beauty and skin care
companies launch new products claiming to improve the overall look and feel
of the skin. However, the evidence for the use of over-the-counter cosmetic
products that claim anti-aging effects has not been clearly substantiated,
until now. Light Dimensions, a developer of restorative, light-based
personal care products, today announced clinical study results for its
RejuvaWand product. The RejuvaWand is the first-ever, home-based, skincare
appliance to use both red and infrared light combined with a gentle
massaging action to help reverse the signs of aging. A whitepaper outlining
the results of the study is available by contacting Marc Maisel.
The clinical study, which was conducted by Leonardo Rasi M.D., a Fellow
of the American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery and member of the
American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, included over 4,000 treatments
performed in the comfort of the participants' homes. The study was
conducted over a 60-day period with 36 female participants who were, on
average, 50.5 years of age. The PRIMOS imaging system was used to
quantitatively evaluate the depth of fine lines, facial wrinkles and skin
texture. PRIMOS is an imaging device that allows for real-time measurement
of the topography of the human skin (fine lines, facial wrinkles and skin
texture) using sophisticated three-dimensional digital photography and
specially developed software.
The most significant findings in the study reveal that:
-- At 30 days 67% of subjects showed an overall average improvement in fine
lines, facial wrinkles and surface texture of 13%.
-- At 60 days 77.5% of participants showed overall average improvement in
fine lines, facial wrinkles and surface texture of 16.5%.
-- The physician evaluator noted that in as few as 30 days 7 out of 10
subjects showed a 44% improvement in fine lines and facial wrinkles.
-- During the self assessment the vast majority (86.2%) of participants
noted improvement with 25% indicating "excellent" improvement and 30.6%
indicating "good" improvement in their skin.
"I had the chance to speak with each and every subject throughout the
study. Most of the participants were very pleased with their results, and
found the treatments relaxing," noted Dr. Leonardo Rasi, Principal
Investigator. "I see the RejuvaWand as an excellent and affordable
complement to in-office treatments including microdermabrasion and chemical
peels."
"The results of the study not only validate the effectiveness,
reliability and safety of the RejuvaWand, they are also in sharp contrast
with a recent Consumer Reports study that measured the effectiveness of
over the counter skin care treatments and found that even the best
performers only reduced the average depth of facial and eye wrinkles by
less than 10 percent," continued Marc Maisel, Co-Founder of Light
Dimensions. "What is more significant is that a similar device, which can
only be used in physician offices and also clinically tested using PRIMOS,
showed results that were not as positive as those found in the RejuvaWand
study. We in no way want to diminish the value of office treatments but we
do want to point out that the RejuvaWand offers a less expensive,
non-invasive option without any pain or downtime."
