CHELMSFORD, Mass., April 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Cynosure, Inc., a leading developer and manufacturer of cosmetic and medical lasers, including TriActive LaserDermology(TM), announced today that its first CynosureSPA(TM) workshop will be held on Saturday, April 16, 2005, at the Hotel Plaza Athenee, East 64th Street, New York, from 11:00am to 4:00pm.
The CynosureSPA workshop will include hands-on demonstrations, real life results, important tips and networking opportunities. Keynote speakers will feature staff members from the world-renowned JUVA Skin & Laser Center/MediSpa in New York, including Kathryn Frew, M.D., dermatologist, and Angela Caponi, Director of Operations.
The workshop will coincide with the American Spa Expo in New York City, with expected attendance of more than 50,000 beauty professionals, being held April 17-19 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. The TriActive will be exhibited in Booth #569.
"The workshop is an important opportunity for us to demonstrate the exciting new spa services provided by the TriActive and to give spa professionals a chance to experience its ease of use and to see for themselves the benefits of treatment," said Marina Kamanekis, Cynosure's Vice President of Marketing.
"TriActive LaserDermology(TM) allows both medical-spa and day-spa managers, using a single device, to offer several new services for their clients including: high-tech laser massage, cellulite treatment, and non- surgical facial rejuvenation, all of which are now in high demand."
The TriActive has been featured in Oprah, Woman's World, The New York Post, Fitness Rx, Glamour, Prevention Magazine and other publications, as well as on television.
According to the Day Spa Association, the most popular treatment performed at day-spas is massage, followed by cellulite treatment and non-surgical face lifts. The ABMP, the professional massage therapist association, recently reported that an estimated 40% of adults in the U.S. visited a massage therapist in 2004, putting massage on a par with consumer use of chiropractic and physical therapy services.
The International Spa Association, iSPA, reports that spa locations in the United States have grown by 25% in the past two years to a total of 12,000, exceeding $11 billion in revenue.
To service this burgeoning market, Cynosure developed the TriActive LaserDermology(TM) system, which is supported by a staff of highly trained CynosureSPA(TM) representatives.
"We are committed to this market and view it as a natural extension of our aesthetic medicine business," said Michael R. Davin, Cynosure's CEO. "As more and more baby-boomers look for more holistic and non-surgical ways to slow the aging process, we expect to develop and market a wider range of non-invasive technologies."
