Aesthetic laser vendor agrees new distribution agreement.
BRISBANE, Calif., Oct. 4, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cutera, Inc. (Nasdaq:CUTR - News), a leading provider of laser and light-based aesthetic systems for practitioners worldwide, today announced that it has entered into a distribution agreement with Quanta System SpA - an Italian Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of laser technologies - to market and sell the myQ series of Q-switched lasers in Japan and potentially other markets, including North America.
Q-switched lasers are designed to be used in a wide range of popular aesthetic applications, including superficial and deep pigmented lesions (i.e. melasma), skin rejuvenation, laser skin toning and tattoo removal. The myQ laser's unique square beam distributes the power of the laser evenly over the affected areas, providing a more precise treatment. This is of particular importance when treating pigmented lesions and performing laser toning for discoloration of the skin, which are two significant segments in the Asian aesthetic market.
Nina Binetti, Cutera's Vice President of Global Marketing, said, "By addressing deep dermal pigmentation and melasma, the myQ system complements Cutera's current array of lasers for the anti-aging market. This OEM agreement fits into our strategy of offering market-leading aesthetic products that leverage our strong distribution channel and customer call point. We will initially launch the myQ laser in Japan, where we see a particularly strong demand for this technology, and will evaluate other geographies in the future."
