Abstract: 15

"The data from these three studies, which supported our 510(k) submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration earlier this year, demonstrate that our novel 1060 nm treatment is an effective and safe method to destroy adipose tissue non-invasively via hyperthermic energy," said Cynosure Chief Executive Officer Michael Davin. "Using ultrasound measurements, researchers in the two multicenter studies reported a statistically significant reduction in adipose layer thickness six and 12 weeks post-treatment. In addition, the treatments saw a high level of satisfaction among study subjects.  In a separate pilot clinical study, our hyperthermic lipolysis technique compared favorably with cryolipolysis in average fat reduction at three and six months post-treatment."

PicoSure Presentations
"Our strong clinical presence at ASLMS includes 15 presentations evaluating clinical results of our versatile PicoSure® laser for tattoo removal, benign pigmented lesions, acne scars and facial wrinkles," Davin said.  "PicoSure's new 532 nm wavelength, which was granted FDA clearance earlier this year, is shown to be most effective in treating red, yellow and orange tattoo inks, which previously were difficult to treat with a single device."
