Candela Corporation (NASDAQ: CLZR) announced that Health Canada has cleared the new QuadraLASE™ advanced CO₂ fractional laser for distribution in Canada. Launched at the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting in March 2009, the QuadraLASE is changing the way practitioners are looking at fractional CO₂ laser treatments. With a unique combination of the proven performance of a CO₂ laser and an innovative scanning device, the QuadraLASE is an effective solution for popular aesthetic treatments such as skin rejuvenation*, skin tightening/wrinkle reduction**, uneven tone and texture, and acne scarring.

President and CEO, Gerard E. Puorro, commented, "Candela's customers in the United States, Europe and Australia are looking at fractional CO₂ in a new way and embracing the QuadraLASE as a total rejuvenation system. In addition, they are reporting that the QuadraLASE is a great option for patients who want fast results and better looking skin without the need for multiple treatments."

Mr. Puorro added, "We are excited that the expansion of the QuadraLASE into Canada means that practitioners will have more choices and greater flexibility to meet their individual practice needs. Numerous physicians that have used other fractional technologies have reported that they are very satisfied with the results that they are getting with the QuadraLASE without the cost of consumables."

Mr. Puorro continued, "Additionally, our customers in other parts of the world are finding that the QuadraLASE is the ideal complement to our lasers including the AlexTriVantage®, our multi-wavelength Q-switched laser, and the Vbeam® Perfecta for best-in-class, anti-aging treatments."
