Laser Innovation, Part 5,

In this articles we cover Cynosure, the last of the medical laser companies we are covering. They also produce lasers for hair removal and many of the top laser hair removal clinics are using their technologies.

Cynosure

Established in 1991, Cynosure is a developer and manufacturer of a broad array of light-based aesthetic treatment systems. Cynosure holds a number of U.S. patents and currently offers 15 different aesthetic treatment systems targeting a variety of non-invasive treatments including hair removal, skin rejuvenation and the temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite. Cynosure is headquartered in Westford, MA.

The market for aesthetic procedures has grown significantly over the past several years. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons estimates that its members treated approximately 2 million people in 2002, a 95% increase since 1998. According to industry analysts, an estimated $1 billion is spent each year on cosmetic laser procedures in the United States alone. As more and more laser technologies are developed with higher utility and efficacy, the more popular procedures are likely to gain in popularity increasing demand for lasers and greater technologies.
