LUMENIS UK announces Strategic Marketing Agreement with Astron Clinica

Lumenis®  Ltd., a global developer, manufacturer and seller of laser, light-based and radiofrequency devices for surgical, aesthetic, and ophthalmic applications, announced today a Strategic Marketing and Agency Agreement between its subsidiary Lumenis UK and Astron Clinica Ltd, a global skin imaging company.  In this agreement Lumenis UK Ltd. will offer its customers Astron Clinica’s Beau Visage skin consultation system when they purchase any of Lumenis’ range of aesthetic systems.

Speaking on the announcement Prof. Annie Brooking, CEO, Astron Clinica said “I am delighted to team up with Lumenis on this project. Beau Visage tracks changes in blood, melanin, collagen and sun damage and enables Lumenis customers to show their clients changes the naked eye can’t see as a result of a treatment. In this way patients having treatments with Lumenis products can see and track their progress over time”.

“Lumenis aesthetic products and Beau Visage are a natural marriage”, said Remco Schmitz, MD of Lumenis UK Ltd. “ Using these two products together enables our customers to offer a superior aesthetic service”.
