Fraxel(R) Laser Treatment Takes Center Stage at the American Academy of Dermatology's (AAD) Annual Meeting in San Francisco.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Live Laser Demonstration Spotlights the Benefits of Breakthrough Fractional Science for Skin Resurfacing and Other Dermal Conditions

Less than two years since it was first previewed at the AAD's 2004 annual meeting as the newest laser technology for treating aging and sun-damaged skin, the Fraxel(R) Laser has come of age with widespread professional acceptance for correcting various skin conditions - from wrinkles and scars(a) to melasma and uneven pigmentation on and off the face.

Luminaries in the field of dermatology will present the latest study data on the Fraxel laser that demonstrate a proven track record of consistent and reproducible clinical outcomes at the premier scientific gathering on March 3-7, 2006. Lectures include:

Friday, March 3

    --  "State-of-the-Art Aesthetic Dermatology" - Live Demonstration
        of the Fraxel Laser by Vic A. Narurkar, M.D., Assistant
        Clinical Professor of Dermatology, University of California,
        Sacramento, CA, and Director of the Bay Area Laser Institute
        of San Francisco, CA
        What started as the treatment du jour for anti-aging has
        quickly blossomed into the treatment of choice for improving
        hard-to-treat conditions such as melasma and acne scarring(a).
        Dr. Narurkar will demonstrate how this gentle, yet targeted
        procedure produces gratifying results with improvement after
        each treatment as well as collagen remodeling that continues
        for months.

    --  "Fractional Resurfacing Laser: Design & Theory" presented by
        R. Rox Anderson, M.D., Associate Professor of Dermatology,
        Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA
        The pioneer of the science behind fractional laser technology,
        Dr. Anderson will speak to the Fraxel laser's unique mechanism
        of action which employs millions of tiny microscopic laser
        spots to resurface only a fraction of the skin at a time,
        stimulating cell turnover and the growth of new epidermal
        tissue.

    --  "Fractional Resurfacing Laser: Clinical Experience" presented
        by Michael S. Kaminer, M.D., Assistant Professor of
        Dermatology, Yale University and Dartmouth University,
        Chestnut Hill, MA
        Dr. Kaminer will share a firsthand account of his key learning
        using the Fraxel laser for treating patients with wrinkles,
        acne scarring(a), photodamage and pigmentation disorders,
        including melasma.

Saturday, March 4

    --  "Non-Ablative Laser Skin Resurfacing" presented by Jason R.
        Lupton, M.D., Clinical Instructor, Department of Medicine,
        University of California, San Diego, CA
        In his review of the current non-ablative lasers for skin
        rejuvenation, Dr. Lupton will discuss the capability of the
        Fraxel laser to safely and effectively treat patients of all
        skin types. Individual case studies will be presented.

Monday, March 6

    --  "Fractional Rejuvenation Comes of Age?" presented by Richard
        E. Fitzpatrick, M.D., Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine
        and Dermatology, University of California, San Diego, CA
        As versatile as it is effective, the Fraxel laser is quickly
        replacing its ablative counterparts as the preferred choice in
        skin resurfacing for sun-damage, scars(a) and melasma. Dr.
        Fitzpatrick will present findings on the laser's success in
        delivering a comprehensive treatment approach without
        compromising patient safety for skin conditions on facial and
        non-facial areas.

(a) Treatment of atrophic scars is a new indication pending FDA 510(k)
    clearance
