CYNO Cynosure - Class A (MM)

Company Expands Global Reach of Flagship System for Hair Removal WESTFORD, Mass., June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cynosure, Inc. (NASDAQ:CYNO), a leading developer and manufacturer of a broad array of light-based aesthetic treatment systems, today announced that it has received regulatory clearance to market and sell its Elite(TM) family of laser workstations in China. "We are excited about the opportunity to market and sell our Elite, Apogee 5500 and Acclaim 7000 laser workstations in the fast-growing Chinese market," said Cynosure President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Davin. "As global demand for aesthetic laser procedures continues to increase, and as Chinese consumers seek effective, high-quality treatment options, we believe our Elite family of products will provide a competitive solution for those seeking laser cosmetic treatments." The Elite workstation combines the Apogee 5500 system, which contains a short wavelength 755 nm Alexandrite laser for lighter skin types, and the Acclaim 7000 system, which is equipped with a high-powered 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser for use on tan and darker skin types to permanently remove hair. The 5500 and 7000 systems can be sold as stand alone systems and upgraded in the field to achieve the full versatility of the Elite. In addition, the Elite can be used to treat benign epidermal pigmented lesions such as age spots, sunspots and freckles, as well as leg and facial veins. "Cynosure also has applied for regulatory approvals in China for other current flagship products," Davin said. "We expect that, upon approval, these products will allow us to address additional opportunities in the Chinese market." In December 2006, the company established a wholly-owned subsidiary in China.
