Retired Eye Specialist Mr Jim Haslam and GP Dr Gordon Dougal Announce New Product
(PRWEB UK) 31 July 2013 -- Two doctors have developed a new, non-invasive treatment for facial scarring and unwanted facial pigmentation called JuveLume. A pilot study of the technology demonstrated 95% efficacy in the subjects treated achieving statistical significance compared to base line.
Retired Eye Specialist Mr Jim Haslam and GP Dr Gordon Dougal originated the concept after observing the positive cosmetic effects of the technology in reducing the depth of lines, wrinkles and size of the bags under the eyes, confirmed in double blind clinical trials.
The proposed mechanism of action of the 1072nm low level light technology was postulated to involve an increase in the elastin collagen ratio in the skin. The medical duo then reasoned that if this were the case, when applied to facial scarring, even if decades old, an increase in elastin within the epidermis of the skin would result in a smoother contour to the skin.
Unwanted facial pigmentation is often associated with unwanted facial scarring as the scarring stimulates melanin production especially in pigmented skin types. The pilot study was designed to evaluate any form of facial scarring such as surgical scars as well as scars occurring as a result of acne. A secondary end point assessment was that of assessing unwanted facial pigmentation often known as melasma.
Compared to baseline, JuveLume (http://www.juvelume.com) improved facial contours (http://www.juvelume.com/gallery/facial-scarring) and reduced unwanted facial pigmentation (http://www.juvelume.com/gallery/unwanted-facial-pigmentation), achieving a high degree of statistical significance (p=0.0004).
There are currently three products in the JuveLume facial skin treatment product line. The first is JuveLume M, which is a smaller version of the JuveLume product. It will only be effective on small areas of facial scarring. The second product is JuveLume, which is the average size device. The third product is JuveLume A, which is designed to treat both active acne as well as unwanted facial pigmentation and scarring.
“I have been using the acne device for a few months, amazing product! My skin is quite sensitive and I could not use most acne products. This acne device helps my skin when nothing else would. I would never be without it,” said Jenny from London.
