Canada, Korea Markets Attractive to Westford Cosmetic Laser Maker

The Canadian and Korean beauty enhancement markets are looking pretty to a Westford-based cosmetic laser maker.

Cynosure, which operates out of an office park on Carlisle Road, won approval to sell a cellulite reduction machine in Canada and market a similar product in Korea, according to to company statement.

In Canada, company won approval to sell its "SmoothShapes XV" machine, which "combines laser and light energy with mechanical manipulation (vacuum and massage) to produce tighter, smoother-looking skin."

In Korea, the company won approval to market its "Smartlipo Triplex" machine, which uses a "blended thermal and photomechanical effect that efficiently liquefies fat and tightens skin through tissue coagulation."

Cynosure plans to eventually sell the Smartlipo machine in Korea, too.

Both machines are also cleared for marketing in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The SmoothShapes machine is also cleared for sale in the European Union.

"SmoothShapes XV and Smartlipo Triplex are treatments that we believe deliver a superior outcome for the high-volume aesthetic applications they serve," said Michael Davin, president and chief executive officer of Cynosure, in a statement. "The Cynosure brand is well established in Canada and Korea, and these clearances represent incremental growth opportunities. We are delighted to bring two of our newest workstations to these attractive markets."
