Dramatically Improved Lipolysis Results in Reduced Downtime and
Side-Effects WESTFORD, Mass., Jan. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Smartlipo(TM) from Cynosure, Inc. (NASDAQ:CYNO), is the first and
only laser lipolysis system to offer a revolutionary and minimally
invasive procedure for the removal of unwanted fat. The
groundbreaking Smartlipo LaserBodySculpting(SM) procedure enables
aesthetic surgeons to treat localized deposits of fat through
tissue coagulation, resulting in tissue tightening. According to
the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), nearly
500,000 liposuction procedures were performed in the United States
in 2005, making it the number one surgical cosmetic procedure for
both men and women. "The number of cosmetic procedures performed
each year continues to increase as conventional procedures become
obsolete with the advent of less invasive technologies," said
Michael R. Davin, chairman and CEO of Cynosure. "Cynosure's
Smartlipo redefines the way doctors and patients view the removal
of unwanted fat, once again demonstrating we're in the business of
transformation for both our customers and their patients." "I
recommend Smartlipo to my patients who want to start the new year
looking and feeling great," said Robert Gotkin, M.D., a plastic
surgeon in Manhattan. "Smartlipo is an exceptional tool for
patients with skin laxity due to its unique tissue contraction
capabilities and can address previously untreatable areas. My
Smartlipo patients are much more comfortable because bleeding,
bruising, and swelling are significantly reduced, which allows them
to resume their daily lives very quickly. This is particularly
important for people with active lifestyles who work hard to
maintain their body, but may struggle with that one area they can't
quite shape the way they want." The Smartlipo LaserBodySculpting
procedure is performed by inserting a very small cannula, or metal
tube, which contains a laser fiber and placing it under the skin in
direct contact with the treatment area. The laser's energy causes
the fat cells to rupture and easily drain away. In addition, the
laser's energy promotes collagen shrinkage and causes a tissue
tightening effect. Due to the device's miniaturization,
LaserBodySculpting is a minimally invasive procedure. Therefore, it
can be performed under local anesthesia with minimal trauma in
comparison to alternative liposuction procedures. "Smartlipo has
been a great addition to my practice," said Bruce Katz, M.D.,
clinical professor at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine and medical
director of JUVA Skin and Laser Center in New York City. "I easily
integrated the LaserBodySculpting procedure into my business and
there's been a tremendous surge in interest, especially from
patients who normally wouldn't have considered liposuction. I'm
very satisfied with the results and amazed at the minimal downtime
and reduction in painful side-effects." Smartlipo Benefits: *
