More consolidation in the laser industry
Posted on February 15, 2012Big laser companies just keep getting bigger….
This week, Cutera, the California based laser company, announced that it had acquired laser competitor Iridex for $5+ million, adding Iridex and Laserscope-branded devices to their stable of lasers.
Just a few months ago, Solta Medical, the makers of Thermage radiofrequency units and Fraxel lasers, purchased Liposonix, the new FDA-approved fat melting technology, for $35 million.
No wonder those darn lasers are so expensive!
