Needham & Company reiterates a 'Buy' on Syneron Medical (NASDAQ: ELOS) price target of $19.00.

Needham analyst says, "We have always maintained that the key to above average growth in the Aesthetic Technology sector is a steady stream of new products to address new indications. Thanks to five recent new product launches, ELOS market share among public peers grew to 42% in the quarter, up from 40% last quarter and 38% in 1Q10, the quarter in which it’s acquisition of Candela
closed."

"We have raised our revenue estimate based on the strong quarterly results, but our EPS estimates come down a bit largely because of the additional marketing spend to launch new products, and to a lesser extent because the gross margin improvement is coming a bit slower than we expected." (Revenue: FY11 from $215.0M to $223.0M and FY12 from $240.8M to $249.8M; EPS: FY11 from (0.02) to (0.11) and FY12 from $0.46 to $0.39)
