WESTFORD, Mass., Jan. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cynosure, Inc. , a leading developer and manufacturer of lasers and pulsed light sources, today announced that American Laser Centers, a leading U.S. provider of laser hair removal, skin rejuvenation and cellulite reduction therapy, has selected Cynosure's Affirm(TM) aesthetic workstation to provide fractional anti-aging technology.
The Affirm system is a single platform, multi-energy technology designed for anti-aging applications, including skin rejuvenation and treatments for wrinkles, skin texture and discoloration. The Affirm system features Cynosure's proprietary Combined Apex Pulse(SM) (CAP) technology, a disposable microlens array for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and scars with micro-rejuvenation capabilities to create a more complete skin treatment. The precision of the CAP technology allows providers to treat patients more rapidly and with greater comfort than other products available on the market today.
"We are excited about the benefits that the Affirm system can provide to our clients," said American Laser Centers President and CEO Richard Morgan. "As consumers seek the most advanced and innovative skin rejuvenation treatments, our selection of Cynosure for this anti-aging technology is based on our research and the Affirm system's superior clinical results and treatment efficacy."
According to Millennium Research Group's "U.S. Markets for Aesthetic Lasers 2006" report, the skin rejuvenation market is expected to experience an 18 percent annual growth rate, and will represent a $239.4 million industry in 2010, with approximately 4.4 million annual procedures.
"We are delighted to work with such a renowned clinic, and expect to continue providing our Affirm system as American Laser Center rolls out its fractional anti-aging treatment offerings. We believe this further demonstrates that Cynosure's technology suite continues to lead the industry for the best in aesthetic laser applications. With more than 150 locations throughout the United States, American Laser Center has built a well-deserved reputation as a premier provider of effective and safe laser therapies," said Cynosure Chairman and CEO Michael Davin.
