Osaka-Gunze Limited (Headquarters: Osaka, Japan, President: Atsushi Hirochi)[TOKYO: 3002] is pleased to announce that a subsidiary “Medical U&A (hereinafter MUA)” has obtained government approval to produce and sell the long-term hair reduction diode laser "MeDioStar®Monolith" in Japan.

1. About the long-term hair reduction market
The long-term hair reduction is getting popular in Japan. And the laser hair removal device market is expanding accordingly. During laser hair removal, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hairs and the hair removal is promoted. In the past, most hair removal has been performed on adult females, but with the diode laser devices that are less painful and gentle on the skin are becoming popular, the users like males, children and care recipients are expanding accordingly.
As the market becomes more widespread, there is a demand for diode lasers that are easier to use, and the long-term hair reduction diode laser "MeDioStar Monolith" to be released this time to meet the demand.
