Since 1970, Candela has led the way in developing innovative new technologies for light-based aesthetic therapies. For nearly 40 years physicians and personal care professionals have looked to us for solutions they need to succeed. And more than any other company, Candela has delivered, with ground-breaking advances that have helped shape the industry as we know it. Innovations that include:
- First vascular lesion treatment laser cleared for use on children.
- First Q-switched alexandrite laser for pigmented lesions and tattoos
- First pulsed dye laser treatment to demonstrate effective treatment of hemangiomas, scars, warts and leg veins
- First laser cleared for the non-invasive treatment of acne and acne scars.
- The introduction of the Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) an epidermal protection system that remains a Candela exclusive.
While other laser companies have come and gone, Candela continues to lead the way: Building upon our reputation as the most trusted partner of successful aesthetic practices; delivering innovation expertise and unwavering support to an installed base of more than 12,000 systems in 70 countries around the world.
And the innovation continues. In June, 2007 Candela once again revolutionized the industry with the introduction of the Serenity device with Pneumatic Skin Flattening (PSF™) technology for pain reduction during laser and light-based treatments.
Today, we offer the most comprehensive and technologically sophisticated aesthetic devices in the industry—a remarkably advanced portfolio of aesthetic lasers. Devices that offer proven speed, efficacy and ease-of-use in today’s most popular procedures, from hair reduction, skin tightening and skin rejuvenation* to vascular and pigmented lesions and tattoo removal. Clearly other laser manufacturers agree—frequently comparing the performance of their devices to the high standards set by our products.
