YOKNEAM, ISRAEL and TORONTO -- 06/07/2005 -- Syneron Medical Ltd. (NASDAQ: ELOS) and Syneron North America today announced the publication of positive clinical data on its Polaris™ WR in the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy (2005:7). This study, led by Dr. Tina Alster and Dr. Seema Doshi of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery, found that Syneron's unique elos™ (electro-optical synergy) technology provided study participants with safe and effective treatment of wrinkles, while tightening the skin as well.

The study, "Combination Radiofrequency and Diode Laser for Treatment of Facial Rhytides (wrinkles) and Skin Laxity," documents clinical results of the Polaris WR among 20 patients with different skin types and mild to moderate facial wrinkles.

"When we began the study using the Polaris WR, we started looking at the improvement of wrinkles but what we were surprised at was the fact that there was actual tissue tightening," said Tina Alster, M.D., founding director, Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery in Washington, D.C. "While there are many non-ablative lasers and light sources available, the elos technology actually helps to tighten tissue as well as help with collagen remodeling and skin tone. In our study using the Polaris WR, we showed vast improvement of wrinkles around the eyes and the mouth, as well as improvement in the skin tone and laxity of the cheeks."

Dr. Alster continued, "In my clinical practice, I have never before tested an aesthetic device with such high satisfaction levels. In this case 93 percent of my patients were satisfied with the results we achieved with the Polaris WR treatments. The device tightened the skin as well as helped reduce wrinkles for my patients and provided them with an effective aesthetic treatment other than cosmetic surgery."

The Polaris WR delivers focused and predictable performance to treat wrinkles and leg and spider veins at low energy levels that assure high patient comfort. Its deep heating produces results at both the epidermal and deep dermal levels to effectively treat wrinkles, including fine wrinkles on the surface and deeper wrinkles, in the same procedure. This device is also FDA cleared to treat visible leg veins and vascular lesions including telangiectasia and leg veins up to 3mm in diameter. The device includes built-in contact cooling, which ensures additional epidermal protection and comfort for the patient.

"We are encouraged that the women who participated in this study and those who have been treated with the Polaris WR since its FDA clearance experienced very few side effects and a noticeable improvement in the look and tightening of their skin," said Domenic Serafino, president of Syneron North America. "The publication of this data on the Polaris WR in this prestigious journal acknowledges the fast growing interest in noninvasive medical aesthetic treatments."
