Syneron's elure Advanced Skin Lightening Technology Featured at The Aesthetic Meeting 2011
Provides Fast, Safe and Highly Effective Skin Lightening Alternative to Hydroquinone-Based Skin Lightening Products
YOKNEAM, ISRAEL--(Marketwire - May 6, 2011) - Syneron Medical Ltd. (NASDAQ:
ELOS
), the leading global aesthetic device company, announced today that its elure™ Advanced Skin Lightening Technology will be featured at The Aesthetic Meeting 2011, which is being held from May 6-11, 2011 at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center in Boston, MA.
elure is the first and only topical skin lightening product that improves appearance by temporarily reducing melanin -- the molecule that accumulates in the skin to cause a darkened, pigmented or uneven skin tone. Melanozyme™, the novel and proprietary natural enzyme found only in elure, provides the pathway for a significant improvement in skin appearance, with healthier, brighter, and younger-looking skin in just one month. elure lightens the skin with no irritation of the skin or other health related risks.
Alain Khaiat, PhD, Vice President Technical and Scientific Affairs of the ASEAN Cosmetic Association and a 30-year veteran in skincare product development, noted, "In clinical trials using elure we have shown an unparalleled degree of safety and tolerability. We tested the product at 17,000 times the recommended human dose and saw no potential for adverse events."
Louis P. Scafuri, Chief Executive Officer of Syneron, said, "elure represents the next generation of skin lightening technology. It is a science-based, clinically proven product that we believe will be well received in the market based on its superior efficacy and safety profile. elure, which is offered to patients in the United States through physicians, offers patients a new option to replace hydroquinone-based skin lightening products. We are excited that elure can provide patients with a new skin lightening product that is proven to work faster, generate excellent results on a wide range of pigmentation issues including PIH and Melasma, and has an extremely safe profile."
