Chelmsford, Mass., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Cynosure, Inc., a leading developer of laser and light-based solutions for aesthetic medicine, announced today that Dr. Bruce E. Katz, Director of the JUVA Skin and Laser Center in New York City, will present on acne, facial rejuvenation and other treatments using Cynosure lasers at the 13th Congress of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology this month in Florence, Italy.
Dr. Katz, who is also Director of the Cosmetic Surgery and Laser Clinic at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City and Clinical Professor at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, has entitled his talks: “A Dose-Ranging Study of the Most Effective and Time Efficient Way to Deliver Amino-Levulenic Acid (ALA) in Laser Photodynamic Therapy (PDL);" “New Lasers and Light Sources for Acne and Cutaneous Rejuvenation;" and “Skin Lasers.”
The presentations are scheduled for 14:25 on Wednesday, November 17th in the Leonardo Room, 10:00 on Friday, November 19th, in the Angelico Room, and 11:30 on Saturday, November 20th, in the Leonardo Room at the Fortezza da Basso Exhibition Centre in Florence.
“The ALA study includes the use of the Cynosure pulse dye laser with all protocols to activate the ALA,” said Dr. Katz. “My other presentations will describe the newest approaches to the treatment of acne, photodamage and skin rejuvenation, including the use of single and multiple lasers, such as Cynosure’s pulse dye and Nd:YAG lasers, and pulsed light source.”
“Our patients at the Juva Center and MediSpa have seen excellent results with these new state-of-the-art treatments and I am pleased to be presenting them to this prestigious international audience,” he added.
“According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), more than 40 percent of adolescents in their mid-teens have acne severe enough to require treatment by a doctor. Thanks to the Internet, these kids and their parents know about the available options and are requesting non-systemic treatments along with, or as replacements for, medication,” said Marina Kamenakis, Cynosure Vice President of Marketing. “Our pulse dye laser was cleared in 2003 for treatment of acne and has since been used in hundreds of cases. And also in 2003, according to the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS), for the first time acne treatment accounted for 12% of laser/light procedures.”
“The ASDS also reported that non-ablative skin rejuvenation procedures increased by 60% in 2003 compared to 2001,” said Michael R. Davin, Cynosure CEO. “This was the highest percentage increase of all the procedures measured, including botulinim toxin (47%). As a result we continue to develop products for facial rejuvenation treatments.” Dr. Katz’s presentations include some of our most recent product enhancements.
