CHELMSFORD, Mass., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Cynosure, Inc., a leading developer of laser and light-based solutions for aesthetic medicine, announced today that Dr. Kathryn Frew of the JUVA Skin and Laser Center in New York City will present on cellulite treatment with the Cynosure TriActive(TM) LaserDermology(SM) System at the 13th Congress of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology being held this month in Florence, Italy.
Dr. Frew, who is a Diplomat of the American Board of Dermatology and a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, has entitled her talk, “The Efficacy of a Diode Laser with Contact Cooling and Suction (Tri-Active Laser) in the Treatment Of Cellulite.”
The presentation is scheduled for 11:00am on Friday, November 19th, in the Angelico Room at the main exhibition center in Florence, the Fortezza da Basso, originally built in the 16th century and remodeled in 1977.
“My presentation summarizes the results from using the TriActive system for cellulite on ten patients. Half of the affected body areas were treated with all three modes activated, the other half with only two,” said Dr. Frew. “The results were measured with digital imaging, physical measurements and degree of patient satisfaction. The conclusion was that the three modes together were more effective in treating cellulite. Overall, our patients have been very pleased with the results.”
“The TriActive received government clearance for treatment of cellulite earlier this year. Used to tighten cellulite on the body and on facial skin, it also can be used for therapeutic massage. The response in the marketplace has been extremely strong primarily because of results like Dr. Frew’s at the JUVA Center and because cellulite is such a common condition in women,” said Marina Kamenakis, Cynosure Vice President of Marketing.
“We are very pleased that Dr. Frew has the opportunity to present these results at a high visibility international meeting such as the EADV. Physicians from both Cynosure’s U.S. markets and from DEKA’s international markets will be present at this meeting,” she added.
“The TriActive is one of the products that we offer in the U.S. as a result of our collaboration with El.En., Italy’s leading laser developer and manufacturer,” said Michael R. Davin, Cynosure CEO. “It is highly complementary to our company’s laser and light-based products and greatly enhances our leadership position in the high growth aesthetics market in the U.S. It is the entry-level system for any aesthetic medicine practice or medical spa.”
