BRISBANE, Calif., Jan. 31 -- Cutera, Inc.(R) (Nasdaq: CUTR, a leading provider of laser and light-based aesthetic systems for practitioners worldwide, today announced it will preview a new laser technology at the 65th annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), February 2-6, 2007. The proprietary YSGG technology generates a 2790 nm wavelength, which has specialized optical characteristics for minimally-invasive aesthetic procedures. This represents the first application of this wavelength in cosmetic dermatology.

"A growing number of patients and practitioners are interested in more pronounced improvement with moderate downtime in the treatment of fine lines, wrinkles and skin texture," said Kevin Connors, Cutera's CEO. "Our YSGG technology will allow us to participate in this emerging segment currently estimated at approximately $150 million and projected to be growing in excess of 30% per year."

The YSGG technology removes a portion of the epidermis with a controlled amount of thermal effect. Mr. Connors continued, "We expect collagen remodeling without the wound-healing trauma and significant discomfort associated with traditional ablative procedures. The thermal effect also creates a natural protective dressing on the skin to ensure moderate downtime."

The new YSGG technology complements Cutera's non-ablative, no-downtime aesthetic procedures. It will be available on Cutera's multi-application Xeo platform, as a standalone unit, and as an upgrade to all existing customers. Cutera filed a regulatory submission to the FDA in December 2006 and will begin formal marketing efforts once clearance has been granted by the Agency.
