Cynosure laser gets Canadian approval

Cynosure Inc. has received approval to sell its flagship Affirm laser system in Canada.

The Westford company, which develops a broad array of light-based systems for cosmetic and anti-aging treatments, including a fat-zapping laser, said today it has received Class III medical-device approval from Canadian regulators to market and sell the Affirm.

According to Cynosure, the Affirm system is a "single platform, multi-energy technology designed for anti-aging applications including skin rejuvenation and treatments for wrinkles, skin texture, and discoloration."
