Cynosure's Newest Pulsed Light System PhotoSilk Plus(TM) Treats More Skin Per Minute

CHELMSFORD, Mass., March 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Cynosure, Inc., a leading developer and manufacturer of cosmetic and medical lasers, announced today that it will launch its newest pulsed light system, the PhotoSilk Plus(TM), at the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS) conference in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, March 30-April 3, 2005. The PhotoSilk Plus provides the technology to treat a variety of aesthetic therapies, including skin rejuvenation, hair removal, and removal of pigmented lesions and the blush of rosacea. The system's patented U-Shape technology minimizes lateral dispersion of energy, and longer wavelengths are eliminated for safer treatment. The large spot sizes(8.3 cm2) allow for faster treatment and greater patient throughput, while the dual-handpiece capability reduces the need to make frequent changes. A typical facial rejuvenation treatment can take less than 10 minutes. "The PhotoSilk Plus is ideal for treating the entire body. Its stylized, ergonomic design make it a very attractive package for the aesthetic practice and medical spa environment," said Marina Kamenakis Vice President of Marketing. The PhotoSilk Plus can be customized with different handpieces, each of which houses an electronic microchip that provides usage information to the main module; additional handpieces can be added as the physician's practice grows: * PL 500 for pigmented lesions * PL 560 a universal handpiece * PL 650 for the removal of unwanted hair "We are pleased to offer this new pulsed light system from our European partner and introduce it to the North American Market at the ASLMS convention," said Michael R. Davin, Cynosure's CEO. "The more productive the technology, the better productivity and profitability for the physician's practice."
