 Cresent Technologies sells and sevices a variety of surgical and aesthetic lasers. Our extensive service background has afforded us a rare perspective on the quality of design and workmanship of more than a dozen different medical laser platforms. More than a decade ago, when we decided to distribute select medical lasers, we choose to offer only the best and most reliable technologies in the marketplace.
Below are articles and information about Surgical lasers offered by Cresent Laser. Currently, we are featuring the New Star 1500 Holmium laser, which is the newest surgical laser from New Star, offering great versatility and up to 12 watts of power for the most demanding of surgical applications. This laser replaces the very successful New Star 1000 laser.
