Dr. Mark G. Rubin, a board-certified dermatologist currently practicing atthe Lasky Clinic in Beverly Hills, is conducting the clinical trials onPinoxide, applying the Microcirculation Therapy formula to the injection siteimmediately after use of skin fillers such as collagen, Restylane andJuvederm, or Botox.
"Anatomically speaking, dark circles are like bruises - so the sciencebehind using Pinoxide for bruising makes total sense," said Dr. Rubin. "Theskin discoloration during bruising is the result of blood leaking from damagedblood vessels and surfacing to the skin. Similarly, blood vessels under theeyes can burst, leading to the appearance of unattractive dark circles."
Leading dermatologists share Dr. Rubin's opinion. Dr. Thomas Francel, aboard certified plastic surgeon, has found that application ofMicroCirculation Therapy on his patients reduces the appearance of skinbruising, and decreases the amount of healing time for the bruise. Dr. Francelis the Chief of Plastic Surgery at St. John's Mercy Medical Center and anAssociate Professor of Surgery at St. Louis University.
