Company Solidifies Long Term Relationship With Largest U.S. Physician-Supervised Aesthetic Clinic Chain; American Laser Centers Have Treated More Than 100,000 Patients Using elos Equipment Over Last 4 Years


YOKNEAM, ISRAEL and TORONTO (Market Wire) -

Syneron Medical Ltd. (NASDAQ: ELOS), an innovator in the development, marketing and sales of elos(TM) combined-energy medical aesthetic devices, today announced that Syneron has received a $6 million order from American Laser Centers, the national laser hair removal, skin rejuvenation and cellulite reduction therapy company, as the first part of a multi-year agreement for deployment of Syneron eLight(TM) and eLaser(TM) devices in its clinics throughout the U.S.

The new equipment was designed by Syneron adhering to the specifications of American Laser Centers and according to protocols which American Laser Centers have developed for their clients during four years of experience with Syneron's elos-based systems on more than 100,000 patients. The equipment will be produced by Syneron under American Laser Centers' label. The new eLight(TM) Systems (branded under the name AmeriLight(TM)) and eLaser(TM) Systems (branded under the name AmeriLase(TM)) will replace all skin rejuvenation and hair removal equipment currently being used in American Laser Centers' clinics. The replacement of American Laser Centers' current equipment aims to establish uniformity of protocols and clinical results in American Laser Centers' more than 120 clinics across the United States.

Rich Morgan, president, American Laser Centers, said, "After thorough assessment, we selected Syneron's eLight and eLaser platforms based on clinical trials across several competing devices. Our decision was based on the very high efficacy rates, consistent results, safety profile, and unmatched customer support of the Syneron equipment. We have been particularly impressed with eLight's ReFirme(TM) application for skin tightening and the treatment of wrinkles, which was dramatically faster than any other treatment on the market and, more importantly, exceeds patient expectations."

"This multi-year private label agreement with American Laser Centers confirms their support for Syneron Medical and our elos technology," said David Schlachet, Syneron CEO. "In addition to the $6 million agreement, which we expect to fulfill completely by the end of 2006, American Laser Centers has also issued a 'blanket order' for 2007 based upon their growth projections. These agreements are the beginning of a multi-year commitment expected to create significant additional business in 2007 and beyond."
