PROFILE |
 |
Medical laser maker Candela has the answer to those pesky alcohol-induced tattoos. The firm offers laser systems for tattoo removal, treatment of dermal abnormalities (age spots, birthmarks), and spider veins. Products include ALEXlazr, for removal of lesions and tattoos; GentlePeel, for skin exfoliation; and Dynamic Cooling Device, which reduces pain by cooling upper layers of the skin during treatment. Candela sells to cosmetic and surgical markets throughout the US and abroad. The company is pulling out of the skin care center business and has closed down all of these operations except for a single spa in Boston, which it hopes to sell. Investor William Witter, son of Dean Witter, owns about 26% of Candela.
