HologicIf beauty is only skin deep, then Cynosure can surely enhance it. The company develops, makes, and markets aesthetic laser and pulsed light systems used by dermatologists and doctors to remove hair, reduce pigmentation, rejuvenate the skin, and treat vascular lesions. For patients who want to go deeper, its Smartlipo workstation allows cosmetic surgeons to perform a less-invasive procedure than conventional liposuction to target and reduce fat. Cynosure's laser systems consist of a control console and one or more hand pieces. The company's direct sales force and international distributors market and sell its products worldwide under such names as Accolade, Affirm, Cynergy, Elite, and PicoSure. Hologic is buying Cynosure for $1.7 billion.
