Candela's ScleroPLUS honored as one of 1997's most technically innovative products
WAYLAND, Mass.--(BW HealthWire)--May 28, 1997--
Third Candela Product to Win Award
Candela Corporation (NASDAQ: CLZR ) announced today that it is a recipient of Photonics Spectra's Photonics Circle of Excellence Award in recognition of Candela's ScleroPLUS(tm), an advanced cosmetic and medical laser system. Photonics Spectra Magazine is a leading publication serving the laser and photonics industry and this award honors the 25 most technically innovative products of the year.
The ScleroPLUS offers the widest array of wavelengths available today for the treatment of all vascular lesions, including leg telangiectasia, facial spider veins, port wine stains, hemangiomas, rosacea, stretch marks, vulvodynia, scars, warts, and other vascular abnormalities.
``The response from dermatologists and plastic surgeons to the ScleroPLUS has been extremely gratifying,'' said James C. Hsia, Ph.D., Candela's senior vice president of research and the inventor of the ScleroPLUS. ``Not only have they embraced the treatment of leg veins, they are also reporting improved results, with fewer side effects, using the device on most types of vascular skin lesions.''
Candela has won the award in previous years for two other products: the SPTL-1 Vascular Lesion Laser and the MDL-1 LaserTripter.
``This is a true honor and a testament, I believe, to our research and development team, led by Dr. Hsia, and to our overall ability to continue to bring new, innovative, leading-edge technologies to the medical and personal care markets,'' said Gerard E. Puorro, the company's president and chief executive officer.
Candela Corporation develops, manufactures, and distributes innovative clinical solutions that enable physicians, surgeons, and personal care practitioners to treat selected cosmetic and medical problems using lasers, cryosurgery, and other proven technologies. In addition, the company is applying its capabilities and experience with skin care and related problems to develop a network of company-owned skin care centers and spas. Founded near Boston in 1970 as Candela Laser Corporation, Candela markets and services its products in over 40 countries from offices in the United States, Europe, and the Far East.
