Introducing CO2RE™ – Complete CO2 Resurfacing System

Offers Practitioners Broader and Highly Effective Treatment Options

Now with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada clearance, the CO₂RE complete CO₂ resurfacing system offers the unique ability to treat both superficial and deep skin layers simultaneously with precision-control over the intensity, pattern and depth of ablation. This patent-pending technology is the first to receive FDA clearance for all of its operating modes, including the four major fractional treatment modes. The system can be used for fractional CO₂ resurfacing and traditional ablation, and is ideal for skin rejuvenation and other aesthetic procedures.

“We received very positive physician feedback during the international rollout of the CO₂RE system and we are excited to begin offering it in the United States and Canada, giving our customers more choices and greater flexibility to meet their individual practice needs. With the addition of CO₂RE, we now offer a complete range of product solutions that address physicians’ and patients’ needs across a wide range of facial rejuvenation treatment categories,” said Louis P. Scafuri, Chief Executive Officer of Syneron. Mr. Scafuri added, “The launch of CO₂RE shows the strength of our globalized approach to research and development. The product was developed by Inlight Inc., San Diego, California, which was acquired by Syneron at the end of 2008. Inlight brought to Syneron the most advanced scanner and ablative laser technology, which, in combination with Syneron’s know-how in light-tissue interaction, enabled us to bring to the market the most advanced and versatile system for a wide range of ablative skin rejuvenation procedures.”

“We’ve been very happy with the results that we’ve seen using CO₂RE. It has a lot of versatility and we find it works well for both fractionated ablative resurfacing as well as traditional ablative resurfacing,” said Brian Zelickson, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist at the Zel Skin and Laser Specialists.

E. Victor Ross, M.D., of Scripps Clinic Carmel Valley Laser and Cosmetic Dermatology, commented, “One of CO₂RE’s advantages is the handpiece, which is very easy to hold. In comparison to other fractional handpieces, the handpiece is thin, lightweight and easy to maneuver around the skin during treatments.” CO₂RE is the first system to emerge since the merger between Candela and Syneron, and is set to continue both organizations’ long history of gold-standard technology development.

The CO₂RE system provides a total of six different treatment modes: four fractional ablative treatment modes and pattern shapes (above), a traditional resurfacing mode, and an excision mode that includes defined shape and freehand modes for dermal excisions.
