CARTESSA AESTHETICS BRINGS BREAKTHROUGH AESTHETIC DEVICES TO CANADA
Four new technologies make their debut in Q2 2025, expanding access to advanced aesthetic treatments in North America
MELVILLE, N.Y., May 28, 2025 /CNW/ -- Canada's booming aesthetic market is showing no signs of slowing down, with non-invasive procedures driving demand and setting the stage for continued double-digit growth. Riding this momentum, North American aesthetics leader Cartessa Aesthetics is expanding its Canadian portfolio with the launch of four new, best-in-class technologies: HELIX, TORO, EVERESSE, and ULTRAFORMER MPT.
From game-changing skin resurfacing to cutting-edge HIFU, these new devices give Canadian providers access to some of the most advanced, in-demand tools on the market, backed by global success and proven results.
HELIX, developed with longtime partner DEKA, builds on the success of the award-winning TetraPro CO2 laser and introduces a powerful 1570nm fiber laser for customizable ablative and non-ablative resurfacing, plus exclusive CoolPeel ™ capabilities with no social downtime.
"The response to HELIX in the US has been phenomenal. The addition of a non-ablative wavelength to the already versatile #1 CO2 technology has given providers more ways to get more energy into the skin without increasing downtime," shared Gabe Lubin, Cartessa Aesthetics founder. "Die-hard Tetra owners are transitioning to HELIX and are not looking back."
TORO, also by DEKA, is new to North America and offers providers four pulse modes and three true wavelengths to address pigment, ink, and select superficial skin concerns with one highly precise and powerful device. TORO introduces a more effective way to erase difficult tattoos and stubborn pigment, as well as non-downtime "glass facials".
The EVERESSE and ULTRAFORMER MPT launches mark the official Canadian debut of Classys Inc., a globally renowned South Korean aesthetic technology company. Cartessa will serve as the exclusive distributor for both devices across North America. EVERESSE delivers advanced monopolar radiofrequency to lift, volumize, and smooth skin, offering a more comfortable alternative to traditional monopolar RF. ULTRAFORMER MPT, the world's #1 HIFU device, delivers precise, multi-depth facial lifting from the dermis to the SMAS layer with unmatched comfort and speed.
"We are thrilled to partner with Cartessa to introduce not one, but two leading Classys technologies to the Canadian aesthetic market. With over 3,000 Everesse and 18,000 Ultraformer devices installed globally, we are confident that Canadian providers and their patients will embrace the exceptional clinical outcomes and recognize the difference versus what's been available to them," added Seung Han Baek, CEO of Classys, Inc.
Aligned with Cartessa's core business model, each new device in the Canadian portfolio may differ in modality or manufacturer, but all meet the company's rigorous three-point criteria: proven clinical efficacy, an enhanced patient experience, and strong ROI potential for providers. These new technologies join Cartessa's existing Canada-approved offerings, including the TetraPro CO2 with CoolPeel ™, Motus AZ+ for pain-free hair removal across all skin types, PHYSIQ 360 for body contouring, and the advanced GLIMPSE skin analysis platform.

Low economic growth as measured by real GDP per capita has been a longstanding problem in Canada. Under Carney's predecessor, Justin Trudeau (who appointed Carney to chair his economic growth task force in September 2024), Canada recorded the worst record of economic growth since the government of R.B. Bennett in the depths of the Great Depression. According to Jake Fuss, director of fiscal studies for the Fraser Institute writing in The Hub last year, Canada's real GDP per capita grew by 1.9% in the Trudeau years.

That was lowest in the G7, which includes the U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Japan and, most alarmingly, the U.S., our largest trading partner, where real GDP per capita grew by 14.7% during the same period. University of Calgary economist Trevor Tombe, also writing in The Hub last year, noted real GDP per capita in the U.S. is now almost 50% higher than in Canada – unprecedented in modern history. Read More In the Liberals' 2022 budget, then-finance minister Chrystia Freehand warned that unless this trend is reversed, 'the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development projects that Canada will have the lowest per-capita GDP growth rate among its (38) member countries' from 2020 to 2060. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Carney's announcement of proposed legislation on Friday – which he wants passed before Parliament adjourns from the summer – to reduce federal barriers to interprovincial trade, increase labour mobility and streamline government approvals for nation building infrastructure projects, are all aimed at increasing economic growth. But they all depend on co-operation by and among the provinces. And the reality is that decades of inaction on these issues has cost the Canadian economy an estimated $200 billion annually, increased the cost of goods and services to Canadians by up to 14.5% and reduced GDP growth by up to 8% annually. At the meeting between Carney and Canada's premiers and territorial leaders last week in Saskatoon to address these issues in the face of the threat posed to the Canadian economy by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, all the participants paid lip service to working together on these issues.

Photo by Todd Korol / REUTERS / FILES But the one premier not present – B.C.'s David Eby, who was on a trade mission to Asia – promptly rejected any new pipeline crossing his province's territory, as did many Quebec politicians when it comes to their province. Any new pipelines will also be opposed by environmental organizations and some (although not all) Indigenous groups who, while they do not have veto power over such projects, must be meaningfully consulted under Canadian law. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has cited the enormous economic damage caused by Canada's failure to build pipelines. Had the Northern Gateway, Energy East and Keystone pipelines been built (Keystone was killed by then-U.S. president Barack Obama), she said, Canada would be producing 2.5 million more barrels of oil per day.

'That's $55 billion a year worth of GDP value, which is worth $17 billion to my government alone and about an equal amount to the federal government.' RECOMMENDED VIDEO The Carney government does have more direct control of some issues it can move on to boost Canada's economic growth. For example, it can introduce taxation policies that encourage businesses to invest in new technologies that boost productivity, as well as increase competition. It can lower Canada's immigration levels so that increases in population do not exceed the rate of economic growth, which reduces GDP per capita. It can reduce government spending. On that issue, Carney says he intends to reduce the growth rate in the operational costs of the federal government under Trudeau from 9% annually to less than 2%. But Carney's election campaign platform also outlined $130 billion in new spending over four years with total deficits of $224.8 billion. While Carney says most of that will be spent on infrastructure, it's 71% higher than the $131.4 billion in deficit spending the Trudeau government predicted during the same period in its fall economic statement in December 2024. Finally, of course, Carney needs to negotiate a deal on tariffs with Trump. lgoldstein@ Olympics Sunshine Girls NHL Ontario Sunshine Girls
