(press release from Candela Corporation)
WAYLAND, Mass.-April 5, 2005--Nearly 12 million cosmetic procedures were performed in 2004. Of those 12 million, more then eighty percent were non-surgical. With surgical treatments such as facelifts quickly becoming a thing of the past, new non-invasive alternatives to achieve younger, smoother skin is now just a laser treatment away. Candela Corporation (NASDAQ: CLZR) announced today that its GentleYAG(R) laser now offers consumers "skin tightening" treatments adding to the laser's current applications for hair, leg and facial vein removal. The GentleYAG "tightens" by heating the underlying layers in the skin and forming new collagen resulting in smoother, younger looking skin. The GentleYAG's patented epidermal cooling system, the Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD(TM)), protects the skin with every laser pulse allowing for quick results and patient comfort. "Non-invasive treatments are becoming the fastest growing trend in cosmetic surgery today", said Gerard E. Puorro, Candela's President and Chief Executive Officer. "With the GentleYAG's additional skin tightening procedure, Candela is able to offer an affordable treatment with the same laser that physicians and patients have trusted for years to remove unwanted hair and leg veins." Dr. Mark Taylor, a dermatologist at the Gateway Aesthetic Institute and Laser Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, conducted a new clinical study comparing skin tightening results of the GentleYAG versus a commonly used radiofrequency device. The study found the GentleYAG to be more effective than the radiofrequency device. Additionally, GentleYAG treatments proved to be faster, less painful and more economical for the patient and practitioner. The results of Dr. Taylor's study were presented at the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS) 25th Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida. "Candela's GentleYAG laser is an exceptional new way to get rid of wrinkles and tighten skin", said Dr. Taylor. "The patients I have treated with the GentleYAG are overwhelmingly happy with the results." Taylor continued, "Because it is so quick and results in little redness, patients can receive a skin tightening treatment during their lunch break and their co-workers wouldn't even notice."
