New Atopic Dermatitis Treatment
Chester Valley Pharmaceuticals has introduced its new
prescription-only Atopiclair, a non-steroidal cream for the chronic symptoms of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. According to the company, Atopiclair is proven to safely calm, restore, and protect skin, and has been clinically shown to significantly improve the eczema area and severity index (p=0.024) and to improve skin-barrier function as measured by a significant reduction in transepidermal water loss (TEWL) vs. control (p=0.02). The topical cream may be applied two to three times a day, or as needed. Its safety has been demonstrated in babies as young as 1 month of age. The product may be used with other topical therapies.

Eye Gel for Decreasing Fine Lines and More
Vasseur Skincare has introduced a new eye gel, which is designed to combat wrinkles and puffiness. Eye Q, which includes anti-aging ingredients such as CoQ 10, Idebenone, alpha lipoic acid and DMAE, is light enough to wear under makeup.
According to Vasseur Skincare, “Eye Q also uses GABA (gama amino butyric acid), an amino acid, to freeze muscle movement and chamomile to tighten and lighten crow’s feet and dark circles. Small molecules (1/10 the size of traditional creams and gels) allow Eye Q to quickly penetrate the skin.”
In addition, Eye Q firms the skin as it evaporates and provides an instant cooling effect to refresh the eye area and reduce puffiness.
For more information about Eye Q, call (858) 538-4558 or log onto www.vasseurskin.com. (10% of all sales from Eye Q will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation to support breast cancer research and awareness efforts.)

The Sinon Q-Switched ruby laser has a wavelength of 694 nm and is used for removal of tattoos and pigmented skin lesions, and for hair removal in patients with skin types 1 and II.
