The FDA recently granted Cynosure approval to market an over-the-counter device to treat facial wrinkles, according to a company press release.

“Our strategic partnership with Unilever blends our expertise in developing market-leading, light-based technology that emphasizes patient safety with clinical results,” Michael Davin, Cynosure president, said in the release.
