Cynosure devices for facial rejuvenation - correction
The skin is our canvas and without good skin quality, the results of other aesthetic treatments cannot shine. Two of Cynosure's leading platforms for these indications are the Icon and PicoSure.
In the "Devices for Facial Rejuvenation Dossier" in the February issue of Aesthetic Medicine (pp66-74) we incorrectly listed these devices as being distributed by Syneron Candela. We apologise for any confusion caused by this error.

ICON (CYNOSURE)
The Icon Aesthetic System is the next generation of platform technology from Cynosure. Offering multiple devices in one machine, it enables aesthetic practitioners to provide a comprehensive suite of the most popular treatments, from hair removal to wrinkle reduction to scar and stretch mark treatment.
The Icon Aesthetic System offers high peak powers, state-of-the-art cooling, built in calibration, and the Skintel® Reader—the only FDA-cleared melanin reader—resulting in fast treatments with excellent outcomes.
PICOSURE FOCUS (CYNOSURE)
PicoSure laser technology delivers ultra-short pulse bursts of energy to the skin in trillionths of a second. Picosecond pulse width is 100 times shorter than nanosecond technology, enabling unmatched photomechanical impact for better clearance with fewer treatments and less fluence. PicoSure’s ultra-short pulse duration goes beyond photothermal action, creating an intense photomechanical impact, patented PressureWave, resulting in greater disruption of the target for better clearance with fewer treatments, less fluence and without injury to the surrounding skin.
Laser clinician at UberSkin, Dr Michelle Lyners, says “We use the Focus lens for the treatment of acne scars, pigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles. Our patients see results within one to five treatments depending on what their requirements are. These treatments can be spaced two to four weeks apart to get optimal results. We confidently use the Focus Lens on all skin types.
“Our patients find the treatment comfortable, as the delivery of energy to the skin is unique with the PicoSure laser. Downtime is minimal, as patients leave the clinic with a pink flush that disappears within 24 hours.”
