WESTFORD, Mass.—Cosmetic treatment equipment maker Cynosure Inc. said Tuesday its first-quarter profit more than doubled on strong demand for its aesthetic laser products.

The company earned $4.9 million, or 38 cents per share, compared with profit of $2.1 million, or 17 cents per share, in the year-ago period. Revenue rose 41 percent to $36.8 million from $26.1 million.

Analysts polled by Thomson Financial, on average, expected profit of 38 cents per share on revenue of $34.6 million.

Laser product revenue increased 43 percent in the quarter, led by sales of the company's Smartlipo laser lipolysis workstation and Affirm anti-aging platform.

Shares rose 95 cents, or 3.9 percent, to $25.17 in morning trading.
