Sciton recently revealed that the company has obtained clearance from the FDA for its laser-assisted lipolysis as well as its BBL™ broadband-pulsed light wrinkle treatment. This skin treatment combination is part of the ProLipo™ laser system that focuses on utilizing laser technology to target fatty tissues, which leave the skin flabby and creased. By using the ProLipo module, doctors can provide a less evasive technique to reduce the appearance of fatty deposits in the treated sections of the body. The module is intended for use in combination with other therapy created by Sciton to create the best result of firm, smooth and tighter skin appearance.
 
The treatments given through the ProLipo ™ module require only a local anesthesia and less recovery time than conventional lipolysis treatments.
 
No other pulsed light system has received clearance from the FDA, making BBL the first of its kind in the industry. Preliminary results of early trials were promising.
 
"We are encouraged by the results we are seeing with the ProLipo," reported the general manager of Sciton, Dr. Dale Koop, "Our goal is to provide customers with supior cosmetic treatment alternative without the risks, side effect, and costs often associated with surgical procedures."
 
As yet, Sciton has not revealed when they will offer ProLipo for sale, but they have reported that the system will offer proprietary performance and benefits and may be packaged with or without the SkinTyte accessory.
