FDA approves Palomar's anti-wrinkle device for Over the Counter Sales

In looking over the site and the multitude of products, this appears to be the first available directly for consumers. The screenshot below is one from the site and may not represent the results of the exact product approved. If you view the website, they have products for just about every type of skin repair, enhancing procedures, hair and tattoo removal you could think of and from what I can tell, the focus has been primarily for the clinical side with marketing to physicians to include plastic surgeons and dermatologists. As far as the exact product approved from the FDA, I guess we will have to wait to find out more information and when it will be available to the consumer. BD

(Reuters) - Palomar Medical Technologies Inc (PMTI.O) said U.S. health regulators approved over-the-counter (OTC) marketing of its laser device for treatment of wrinkles around the eyes, sending the aesthetic device maker's shares up as much as 22 percent.

The device was developed by Palomar and completed together with Johnson and Johnson Consumer Companies, under a previously announced deal to develop light-based anti-aging devices, the company said in a statement.
