Omnifit is a skin rejuvenation device.
Aesthetic device company Alma Lasers Ltd. has received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its handheld skin resurfacing device, Pixel CO2 Omnifit. The device is a carbon dioxide-based laser that can resurface skin, remove wrinkles, shrink pores or fill in acne scars by exposing the skin to a laser-guided beam.
Alma Lasers says its device can deliver improved results quicker than existing devices, with a faster recovery time. The product is a handle that can be attached to a CO2 laser resurfacing device made by either Alma Lasers or other companies. The company believes that treatment centers interested in upgrading their laser equipment will prefer to purchase its attachment rather than buy an entire new device.
The process for obtaining FDA approval for aesthetic devices is less stringent than that for other medical devices.
