Cutera, formerly Altus Medical, was founded in 1998 with a goal of becoming the worldwide leading provider of laser and other light-based aesthetic systems to the aesthetic market. Our easy-to-use products enable dermatologists, plastic surgeons, gynecologists, primary care physicians and other qualified practitioners to offer safe, effective and non-invasive aesthetic treatments to their patients.
We commercially launched our first product, the CoolGlide CV, in March of 2000 for hair removal, and every year since then we have introduced at least one new product to enable our customers to treat additional aesthetic conditions.
A key feature of our products is their upgradeable design; each time we have introduced a new product, customers have been able to increase the capability of their earlier-generation systems by upgrading to the newest system for an incremental cost. This has provided our customers a cost-effective way to add new services to their patients.
Current applications of our CoolGlide family of products include permanent hair reduction on all skin types and tanned skin, treatment of a wide range of vascular lesion, including leg and facial veins, non-ablative skin rejuvenation using the Laser Genesis procedure and the treatment of pigmented lesions.
