Syneron Medical Ltd. launched a new handpiece featuring a new 5-millimeter spot size for the Gentle Pro Nd:YAG Laser Series.

The introduction of this new FDA-cleared handpiece expands the functionality of the GentleYAGPro and GentleMax Pro Nd:YAG laser to treat onychomycosis in addition to its existing capabilities for hair removal and for the treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions.

With its precision 5 mm handpiece, the Gentle Pro Nd:YAG Laser raises the temperature under the nail to a level that's inhospitable to fungus in order to increase the appearance of clear nails.

"This new indication for the Gentle Pro series puts Syneron at the forefront of technological advancements designed to meet and surpass our physician partners' standards," said Amit Meridor, Chief Executive Officer of Syneron. "The 5 mm handpiece makes our Gentle Pro laser even more valuable for our customers, expanding patient services with one simple addition."
