The newest machine on the market for the elimination of wrinkles, the Palovia at-home anti-wrinkle device, has won the “Best of Beauty” award from the Allure Magazine.  In the past, laser skin rejuvenation treatment was only available as an expensive Spa treatment, under strict medical supervision.

This small, new, hand-held machine has been cleared by the FDA for safe use at home for the removal of wrinkles around the eye area . crow´s feet.    A warning is issued that it should not be used around the mouth area, possibly for the danger of touching the lips, which could cause serious harm.   We are now waiting hopefully that it will be cleared by the FDA for the successful home treatment of cellulite on the remainder of the body.

For the last decade Laser technology has been proven the very best treatment for the elimination of cellulite for the reason that it works below the surface of the skin, reaching the sub-layers where the fatty cells squeeze their way through the elastin supportive fibres, thus causing the orange peel skin effect.   The micro-fine laser light reaches the damaged support structure, helping to break it up so it can be swept away by the lymphatic system, after which the body´s natural healing system replaces it with new collagen and elastin, resulting in a smooth, youthful appearance.

For the removal of wrinkles around the eyes, the treatment requires just a few minutes every evening for one month.  Any slight reddening caused by the treatment should be gone by the morning.  Full instructions are issued with the purchase of the machine.   A prickling or stinging sensation is felt during each three-second application.    The intensity level can be lowered for the first couple of days but it is advisable to have the setting as high as can be tolerated.   Immediately following treatment a warm, sunburn sensation may be slightly uncomfortable but a cold compress can help reduce this.

Anyone having professional cosmetic treatments such as injectable toxins or fillers should first check with their doctor before using the PaloVia laser.   Also, if the skin is infected, burned or cut it is essential to wait for healing before starting treatment with this machine.

It is essential to use moisturing skincare products during the day and a sunscreen minimum SPF30 is also recommended.

We will keep you posted on the possible FDA approval for use of the PaloVia Anti-wrinkle Laser Device for the home treatment of cellulite removal.
