David Bean is president of Dermal Photonics, which makes the NIRA Skincare Laser. The laser rejuvenates the skin at home very cost effectively. NIRA's technology is unique because it can do it without the pain and the redness. Bean has been working on lasers for decades, designing everything from military applications to professional medical supplies, but he always wanted to create something so cutting edge, it could help people right at home.

 

To use the laser, you simply put it up to your skin, press against your skin, and then push your thumb on the top button. You should feel warmth but no pain, and you know it's working. The laser shoots through your epidermis and is absorbed in the lower dermal layer where it heats up, and this little bit of heat triggers a reaction in your skin to help it rebuild. This makes the cells stronger, and stimulates new collagen growth and more volume underneath your skin, plumping up the skin and filling in the wrinkles. Treatment only takes about a minute each day, and safety sensors are built into ensure you use it correctly.

 

The NIRA Skincare Laser is cleared by the FDA for home use. The entire production is manufactured, assembled and tested in Peabody, Massachusetts. "It's simpler and actually more cost effective with how we've done it, to do it here locally" explains David Bean. The product is so personal, the designers actually sign the computer chip inside.
