Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block] | NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Operations and Principles of Consolidation Cutera, Inc. (“Cutera” or the “Company”) CoolGlide ® xeo solera ® GenesisPlus excel V truSculpt excel HR enlighten Titan ® truSculpt (“Merz”) Radiesse Titan truSculpt Headquartered in Brisbane, California, the Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries that are currently operational in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Hong Kong, Japan, Spain and Switzerland, that market, sell and service its products outside of the United States. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates their estimates, including those related to warranty obligation, sales commission, accounts receivable and sales allowances, valuation of inventories, fair values of acquired intangible assets, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of options to purchase the Company’s common stock and other share based awards, recoverability of deferred tax assets, and effective income tax rates, among others. Management bases their estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Investments The Company invests its cash primarily in money market funds and in highly liquid debt instruments of U.S. federal and municipal governments and their agencies, commercial paper and corporate debt securities. All highly liquid investments with stated maturities of three months or less from date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents; all highly liquid investments with stated maturities of greater than three months are classified as marketable investments. The majority of the Company’s cash and investments are held in U.S. banks and its foreign subsidiaries maintain a limited amount of cash in their local banks to cover their short term operating expenses. The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in marketable securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. The Company’s marketable securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale. Investments with remaining maturities more than one year are viewed by the Company as available to support current operations, and are classified as current assets under the caption marketable investments in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Investments in marketable securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of stockholders’ equity. Any realized gains or losses on the sale of marketable securities are determined on a specific identification method, and such gains and losses are reflected as a component of interest and other income, net. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. Carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values as of the balance sheet dates because of their generally short maturities. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: ● Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. ● Level 2: Directly or indirectly observable inputs as of the reporting date through correlation with market data, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 also includes assets and liabilities that are valued using models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment since the input assumptions used in the models, such as interest rates and volatility factors, are corroborated by readily observable data from actively quoted markets for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. ● Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions. Impairment of Marketable Investments After determining the fair value of available-for-sales debt instruments, gains or losses on these securities are recorded to other comprehensive income, until either the security is sold or the Company determines that the decline in value is other-than-temporary. The primary differentiating factors that the Company considers in classifying impairments as either temporary or other-than-temporary impairments are the Company’s intent and ability to retain the investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value or the maturity of the investment, the length of the time and the extent to which the market value of the investment has been less than cost and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. There were no other-than-temporary impairments in the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013. Allowance for Sales Returns and Doubtful Accounts The allowance for sales returns is based on the Company’s estimates of potential future product returns and other allowances related to current period product revenue. The Company analyzes historical returns, current economic trends and changes in customer demand and acceptance of our products. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, marketable investments and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are primarily invested in deposits and money market accounts with three major financial institutions in the U.S. In addition, the Company has operating cash balances in banks in each of the international locations in which it operates. Deposits in these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits, if any. Management believes that these financial institutions are financially sound and, accordingly, believes that minimal credit risk exists. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. The Company invests in debt instruments, including bonds of the U.S. Government, its agencies and municipalities. The Company has also invested in other high grade investments such as commercial paper and corporate bonds. By policy, the Company restricts its exposure to any single issuer by imposing concentration limits. To minimize the exposure due to adverse shifts in interest rates, the Company maintains investments at an average maturity of generally less than eighteen months. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from worldwide customers. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses. As of December 31, 2015, there was one customer who represented more than 10% of the Company’s net accounts receivable. No single customer represented more than 10% of net accounts receivable as of December 31, 2014. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, domestic revenue accounted for 52%, 45%, and 42%, respectively, of total revenue, while international revenue accounted for 48%, 55%, and 58%, respectively, of total revenue. No single customer represented more than 10% of total revenue for any of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013. The Company is also subject to risks common to companies in the medical device industry, including, but not limited to, new technology innovations, dependence on key personnel, dependence on key suppliers, protection of proprietary technology, product liability, Food and Drug Administration and/ or international regulatory approvals required for new products and compliance with government regulations. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined on a standard cost basis, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis, and market being determined as the lower of replacement cost or net realizable value. The Company includes demonstration units within inventories. Demonstration units are carried at cost and amortized over an estimated economic life of two years. Amortization expense related to demonstration units is recorded in Products cost of revenue or in the respective operating expense line based on which function and purpose for which the demonstration units are being used. Proceeds from the sale of demonstration units are recorded as revenue and all costs incurred to refurbish the systems prior to sale are charged to cost of revenue. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, demonstration inventories, net of accumulated depreciation, included in Finished goods inventory balance was $2.3 million. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation recognized is on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally as follows: Useful Lives (years) Leasehold improvements Lesser of useful life or term of lease Office equipment and furniture 3 Machinery and equipment 3 Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the costs and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operating expenses. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation expense related to property and equipment for 2015, 2014 and 2013, was $734,000, $562,000 and $602,000 respectively. Amortization expense for vehicles leased under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets, is not subject to amortization, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment, applying a fair-value based test. The Company’s intangible assets are comprised of purchased technology sub-licenses, acquired customer relationships, and those assets acquired in conjunction with an asset acquisition in February 2012 including, existing customer relationships, product portfolio and a manufacturing process for the products acquired. All identifiable intangibles have finite lives and are carried at cost, net of accumulated amortization. Amortization was recorded using the straight-line method, except for a portion of the purchased intangibles which are being amortized on a declining-balance basis, over their respective useful lives, which range from approximately 11 months to 10 years. Impairment of Long-lived Assets Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at least annually or as circumstances indicate their value may no longer be recoverable. The goodwill impairment test is generally performed annually during the fourth fiscal quarter (or earlier if impairment indicators arise). The Company continues to operate in one segment, which is considered to be the sole reporting unit and therefore, goodwill was tested for impairment at the enterprise level. As of December 31, 2015, there has been no impairment of goodwill. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets, which include amortizable intangible and tangible assets. Acquired intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes such impairment in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. In 2014, the Company’s impairment review indicated that certain purchased long-lived assets associated with the Iridex acquisition were impaired and an impairment charge of $650,000 was recognized. No other impairment losses were incurred in the periods presented. Warranty Obligations The Company provides a standards one-year warranty on all systems sold to end-customers. Warranty coverage provided is for labor and parts necessary to repair the systems during the warranty period. For sales to distributors, the Company generally provides a 14-month warranty for parts only, with labor being provided to the end customer by the distributor. The Company accounts for the estimated warranty cost of the standard warranty coverage as a charge to costs of revenue when revenue is recognized. The estimated warranty cost is based on historical product performance. To determine the estimated warranty reserve, the Company utilizes actual service records to calculate the average service expense per system and applies this to the equivalent number of units exposed under warranty. The Company updates these estimated charges every quarter. Revenue Recognition Products revenue is recognized when title and risk of ownership has been transferred, provided that: ● Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; ● The price is fixed or determinable; ● Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; and ● Collectability is reasonably assured. Transfer of title and risk of ownership occurs when the product is shipped to the customer or when the customer receives the product, depending on the nature of the arrangement. Revenue is recorded net of customer and distributor discounts. When collectability is not reasonably assured, the Company recognizes revenue upon receipt of cash payment. Sales to customers and distributors do not include any return or exchange rights. In addition, the Company’s distributor agreements obligate the distributor to pay the Company for the sale regardless of whether the distributor is able to resell the product. Shipping and handling charges are invoiced to customers based on the amount of products sold. Shipping and handling fees are recorded as revenue and the related expense as a component of Products cost of revenue. Multiple-element arrangements A multiple-element arrangement includes the sale of one or more tangible product offerings with one or more associated services offerings, each of which are individually considered separate units of accounting. The Company determined that its multiple-element arrangements are generally comprised of the following elements that are recognized as separate units of accounting: Product and service contracts. For multiple-element arrangements revenue is allocated to each element based on their relative selling prices. Relative selling prices are based on vendor specified objective evidence (“VSOE”), if available, third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”) when VSOE does not exist, and on best estimate of selling price (“BESP”) if VSOE and TPE do not exist. Because the Company has neither VSOE nor TPE for its systems and service contracts, the allocation of revenue is based on the Company’s BESPs for each element. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service was sold on a stand-alone basis. The Company determines BESP for its products or services by considering multiple factors including, prices charged for stand-alone sales, features and functionality of the products and services, geographies, type of customer, and market conditions. Revenue allocated to each element is then recognized when the other revenue recognition criteria are met for the element. In the first and second quarter of 2013, with respect to the sale of its truSculpt product, the Company provided promotions that included an unlimited number of “free” hand piece replacements during a stated trial period of 3 months or 12 months. These free refills were treated as an undelivered element under FASB ASC 605-25 in the original revenue transaction. The Company deferred the relative fair value related to the estimated number of hand piece replacements to be delivered during the promotional period and recognized that deferred revenue over the free refills promotion period. Commencing in the third quarter of 2013, the Company now includes unlimited refills as part of the truSculpt standard warranty and the Company no longer accounts for the truSculpt truSculpt The Company also offers customers extended service contracts. Revenue under service contracts is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the applicable service contract. Service revenue billed on a time and material basis, from customers whose systems are not under a service contact, is recognized as the services are provided. Service revenue for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013 was $17.7 million, $17.8 million, and $17.7 million, respectively. Cost of Revenue Cost of revenue consists primarily of material, finished and semi-finished products purchased from third-party manufacturers, labor, stock-based compensation expenses, overhead involved in our internal manufacturing processes, technology license amortization and royalties, costs associated with product warranties and any inventory or intangible write-downs. The Company's system sales include a control console, universal graphic user interface, control system software, high voltage electronics and a combination of applications (referred to as hand pieces). Hand pieces are programmed to have a limited number of uses to ensure the safety of the device to patients. The Company sells refurbished hand pieces, or "refills," of its Titan product and provides for refurbishment of other hand pieces under warranty or service contracts. When customers purchase a replacement hand piece (or “refill”) or are provided a replacement hand piece under a warranty or service contract, Cutera ships the customer a previously refurbished unit. Upon the receipt of the expended hand piece from the customer the Company capitalizes the expended hand piece as inventory at the estimated fair value. Cost of revenue includes the costs incurred to refurbish hand pieces. Research and Development Expenditures Costs related to research, design, development and testing of products are charged to research and development expense as incurred. Expenses incurred primarily relate to employees, facilities, material, third party contractors and clinical and regulatory fees. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are included as part of sales and marketing expense and are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $1.2 million, $1.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Stock-based Compensation The Company accounts for its employee stock options under the fair value method of accounting using a Black-Scholes valuation model to measure stock option expense at the date of grant. The fair value of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) is measured at the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The fair value of Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) that have operational measurement goals, are measured at the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. PSUs with market-based measurement goals are valued using the Monte-Carlo simulation option-pricing model. The Monte-Carlo simulation option-pricing model uses the same input assumptions as the Black-Scholes model, however, it further incorporates into the fair-value determination the possibility that the market condition may not be satisfied. Stock-based compensation expense for market-based PSU awards is recognized regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied, provided that the requisite service has been provided. Stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized over the requisite service period. For RSUs and PSUs, the Company issues shares on the vesting dates, net of the minimum tax withholding requirements to be paid by the Company on behalf of its employees. As a result, the actual number of shares issued will be fewer than the actual number of RSUs and PSUs that vest. The Company records the liability for withholding amounts to be paid by the Company as a reduction to additional paid-in capital when the shares are issued. Cash flows resulting from the tax benefits due to tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for stock-based awards for options exercised and for RSUs and PSUs vested during the period (excess tax benefits), are classified as financing cash flows. Income Taxes The Company recognizes income taxes under the liability method. The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates in income in the period that includes the enactment date. For deferred tax assets which are not subject to a valuation allowance, the Company has determined that its future taxable income will be sufficient to recover all of the deferred tax assets. However, should there be a change in the recoverability of the deferred tax assets, the Company could be required to record a valuation allowance against the net carrying value of its deferred tax assets. This would result in an increase to the Company’s tax provision in the period in which they determined that the recovery was not probable. The measurement of deferred taxes often involves an exercise of judgment related to the computation and realization of tax basis. The deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management’s assessment that tax positions taken, and the resulting tax basis, are more likely than not to be sustained if they are audited by taxing authorities. Also, assessing tax rates that the Company expects to apply and determining the years when the temporary differences are expected to affect taxable income requires judgment about the future apportionment of the Company’s income among the states in which the Company operates. These matters, and others, involve the exercise of significant judgment. Any changes in the Company’s practices or judgments involved in the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities could materially impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to amounts that the Company believes are more likely than not to be recovered. The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets quarterly to determine whether adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowance are appropriate. In making this evaluation, the Company relies on its recent history of pre-tax earnings, estimated timing of future deductions and benefits represented by the deferred tax assets, and its forecasts of future earnings, the latter two of which involve the exercise of significant judgment. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its U.S. federal and state deferred tax asset due to a history of operating losses. The Company establishes reserves for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the Income Taxes subtopic of ASC 740. The subtopic prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. Additionally, the subtopic provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, and transition of uncertain tax positions. The impact of an uncertain income tax position on income tax expense must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. The Company has provided taxes and related interest and penalties due for potential adjustments that may result from examinations of open U.S. Federal, state and foreign tax years. The Company will reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the period in which the Company makes the determination that the tax position is effectively settled through examination, negotiation, or litigation, or the statute of limitations for the relevant taxing authority to examine and challenge the tax position has expired. The Company will record an additional charge in the Company’s provision for taxes in the period in which the Company determines that the recorded tax liability is less than the Company expects the ultimate assessment to be. Computation of Net Loss per Share Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares and dilutive potential shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential shares primarily consist of employee stock options. Diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share for the periods presented because the inclusion of outstanding common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive. U.S. GAAP requires that employee equity share options, non-vested shares and similar equity instruments granted by the Company be treated as potential common shares outstanding in computing diluted earnings per share. In periods of net income, diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of in-the-money options, which is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options, the amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in additional-paid-in-capital when the award becomes deductible are all assumed to be used to repurchase shares. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss includes all changes in stockholders’ equity except those resulting from investments or contributions by stockholders. For the periods presented, the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consisted solely of the unrealized gains or losses on the Company's available-for-sale investments, net of tax. Foreign Currency The U.S. Dollar is the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries. Monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured into U.S. Dollars at the applicable period end exchange rate. Sales and operating expenses are re-measured at average exchange rates in effect during each period. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in net income (loss) and are insignificant for each of the three years ended December 31, 2015. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents was insignificant for each of the three years presented in the period ended December 31, 2015. Segments The Company operates in one segment. Management uses one measurement of profitability and does not segregate its business for internal reporting. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, 68% and 71%, respectively, of all long-lived assets were maintained in the U.S. See Note 10 for details relating to revenue by geography. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled to for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. The updated standard becomes effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting of Fees Paid in Cloud Computing Arrangement, guidance on accounting for fees paid in cloud computing arrangements. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a services contract. All software licenses recognized under this guidance will be accounted for consistent with other licenses of intangible assets. The guidance becomes effective for the Company for the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. Currently, an entity is required to measure its inventory at the lower of cost or market, whereby market can be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. The changes require that inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, thereby eliminating the use of the other two market methodologies. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. These changes do not apply to inventories measured using LIFO (last-in, first-out) or the retail inventory method. These changes become effective on January 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases . This guidance requires that lease arrangements longer than twelve months result in a lessee recognizing a lease asset and liability. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the updated guidance on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In November 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, requiring all deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any related valuation allowance, to be classified as non-curr |

Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 3— ACQUISITION On February 2, 2012, Cutera acquired certain assets and liabilities of Iridex’s global aesthetics business unit for $5.1 million in cash. This business is engaged in developing, manufacturing, marketing and servicing laser-based medical systems and delivery devices. The business purpose of this transaction was to acquire access to an expanded installed base of customers, add to Cutera’s product offerings and acquire a recurring stream of service revenue. This acquisition was considered a business combination for accounting purposes, and as such, in addition to valuing all the assets, the Company recorded goodwill associated with the expected synergies from leveraging the customer relationships and integrating new product offerings into the Company’s business. The fair values of the assets acquired were determined to be $4.8 million of net tangible and intangible assets and $1.3 million of goodwill. The customer relationship intangible assets were being amortized over 5 years on a straight-line basis. Other intangible assets were being amortized over 11 months to 5 years from the date of acquisition on a straight-line basis. As of December 31, 2014, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the purchased intangible assets, due to the discontinuation of the manufacture and sale of all products acquired, lower than projected future service revenue, and lower than projected revenue expected from the distributor relationships acquired. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $650,000 in cost of revenue. The unamortized purchased intangibles are being amortized on a declining-balance basis over the remaining useful economic life of 5 years from the date of acquisition. The following table summarizes the fair value as of February 2, 2012 of the net assets acquired (in thousands) Purchase price paid $ 5,091 Assets (liabilities acquired): Inventory 1,552 Customer relationship intangible assets 2,510 Other identified intangible assets 780 Goodwill 1,339 Deferred service revenue (780 ) Accrued warranty liability (310 ) Total $ 5,091 The identifiable intangible assets and goodwill identified above shall be deductible for income taxes over a useful economic life of 15 years. |

Relating to the purchased intangible assets associated with the Iridex acquisition in 2012, due to the discontinuation of the manufacture and sale of all products acquired, lower than projected future service revenue, and lower than projected revenue expected from the distributor relationships acquired, the Company concluded based on future undiscounted cash flows that the remaining carrying value of these assets was impaired. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $650,000 in cost of revenue. Amortization expense (excluding the impairment charge described above) in the 2015, 2014, and 2013 fiscal years for intangible assets was $452,000, $773,000, and $702,000, respectively.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block] | NOTE 6 —STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY, STOCK PLANS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE As of December 31, 2015, the Company had the following stock-based employee compensation plans: 2004 Equity Incentive Plan and 1998 Stock Plan In 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Stock Plan, or 1998 Plan, under which 4,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance to employees, directors and consultants. On January 12, 2004, the Board of Directors adopted the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. A total of 1,750,000 shares of common stock were originally reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. In addition, the shares reserved for issuance under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan included shares reserved but un-issued under the 1998 Plan and shares returned to the 1998 Plan as the result of termination of options or the repurchase of shares. In 2012 the stockholders approved a “fungible share” provision whereby each full-value award issued under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan results in a requirement to subtract 2.12 shares from the shares reserved under the Plan. Options granted under the 1998 Plan and 2004 Equity Incentive Plan may be incentive stock options or non-statutory stock options. Stock purchase rights may also be granted under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees. The Board of Directors determines the period over which options become exercisable. Options granted under the Plan to employees generally vest over a four year term from the vesting commencement date and become exercisable 25% on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and an additional 1/48 th on the last day of each calendar month until all of the shares have become exercisable. During 2013 and 2012 the officers of the Company were granted options that vest over a three year term at the rate of 1/3 rd th In accordance with the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, prior to 2012, the Company’s non-employee directors were granted $60,000 of grant date fair value, fully vested, stock awards annually on the date of the Company’s Annual Meeting of stockholders. Commencing with 2012, the Company’s non-employee directors get $60,000 of RSUs annually that cliff-vest on the one year anniversary of the grant date. In the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company issued 21,020, 38,688 and 40,674 RSUs to its non-employee directors, respectively. In the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 the Company’s Board of Directors granted 107,417, 211,250 and 148,004 respectively, of RSUs to its executive officers and certain members of the Company’s management. The RSUs granted to the employees vest at the rate of one-fourth on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, and one-fourth in each of the subsequent three years. The RSUs granted to the executive officers vest at the rate of one-third on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, and one-third in each of the subsequent two years. The Company measured the fair market values of the underlying stock on the dates of grant and recognizes the stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period. In the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 the Company’s Board of Directors granted its executive officers and certain senior management employees 74,667, 105,000 and 33,751 of PSUs. The PSUs vest over a period of 8.5 months, 12 months and 12 months, respectively, subject to the recipient’s continued service and achievement of the pre-established operational goals related to revenue and operating income improvement. For the 2015 PSU awards, in addition to operational goals, there was a market-based goal as well. At the vest date, the Company issues fully-paid up common stock, based on the degree of achievement of the pre-established targets. 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan On January 12, 2004, the Board of Directors adopted the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Under the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or 2004 ESPP, eligible employees are permitted to purchase common stock at a discount through payroll deductions. The 2004 ESPP offering and purchase periods are for approximately six months. The 2004 ESPP has an evergreen provision based on which shares of common stock eligible for purchase are increased on the first day of each fiscal year by an amount equal to the lesser of: i. 600,000 shares; ii. 2.0% of the outstanding shares of common stock on such date; or iii. an amount as determined by the Board of Directors. The Company’s Board of Directors did not increase the shares available for future grant on January 1, 2015, 2014 and 2013. The price of the common stock purchased is the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning or end of a six month offering period. In the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, under the 2004 ESPP, the Company issued 55,872, 52,579 and 51,338 shares, respectively. At December 31, 2015, 849,985 shares remained available for future issuance.

The aggregate intrinsic amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. Total intrinsic value of options exercised in 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $5.1 million, $824,000, and $2.1 million, respectively.

(6) On the grant date, the fair value for these vested awards was $ 2.6 million . Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock units, stock awards and ESPP shares for the year ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 201 5 201 4 201 3 Stock options $ 1,438 $ 1,811 $ 2,201 RSUs 1,297 875 631 PSUs 1,167 455 162 ESPP 182 158 116 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 4,084 $ 3,299 $ 3,110 As of December 31, 2015, the unrecognized compensation cost, net of expected forfeitures, was $4.2 million for stock options and stock awards, which will be recognized over an estimated weighted-average remaining amortization period of 1.78 years. For the ESPP, the unrecognized compensation cost, net of expected forfeitures, was $82,000, which will be recognized over an estimated weighted-average amortization period 0.33 years. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options, vesting of RSUs and PSUs, and the issuance of ESPP shares. The amount of cash received from these issuances, net of taxes withheld and paid, in 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $10.1 million, $3.6 million and $5.2 million. There was no direct tax benefit (deficit) in 2015, 2014 or 2013. The Company elected to account for the indirect effects of stock-based awards, primarily the research and development tax credit, through the Statement of Operations. Total stock-based compensation expense recognized during the year ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was recorded in the Statement of Operations as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2015 201 4 201 3 Cost of revenue $ 447 $ 560 $ 638 Sales and marketing 1,054 641 744 Research and development 662 581 397 General and administrative 1,921 1,517 1,331 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 4,084 $ 3,299 $ 3,110 Valuation Assumptions and Fair Value of Stock Options and ESPP Grants The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of options granted under its equity incentive plans and rights to acquire stock granted under its employee stock purchase plan. The Company based the weighted average estimated values of employee stock option grants and rights granted under the employee stock purchase plan, as well as the weighted average assumptions used in calculating these values, on estimates at the date of grant, as follows: Stock Options Stock Purchase Plan 201 5 201 4 201 3 201 5 201 4 201 3 Expected term (in years) (1) 3.24 4.18 4.30 0.50 0.50 0.50 Risk-free interest rate (2) 0.90 % 1.31 % 1.13 % 0.17 % 0.06 % 0.08 % Volatility (3) 30 % 41 % 43 % 36 % 37 % 44 % Dividend yield (4) — % — % — % — % — % — % Weighted average estimated fair value at grant date $ 4.78 $ 3.36 $ 3.22 $ 3.51 $ 2.65 $ 2.84 (1) The expected term represents the period during which the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The estimated term is based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the awards, vesting requirements, and expectation of future employee behavior, including post-vesting terminations. (2) The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury debt securities with maturities close to the expected term of the option as of the date of grant. (3) Estimated volatility is based on historical volatility. The Company also considers implied volatility when there is sufficient volume of freely traded options with comparable terms and exercise prices in the open market. (4) The Company has not historically issued any dividends and does not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. The Company periodically estimates forfeiture rates based on its historical experience within separate groups of employees and adjusts the stock-based payment expense accordingly. The forfeiture rates used in 2015 ranged from 0% to 16%. Stock Awards Withholdings For Stock Awards granted to employees, the number of shares issued on the date the Stock Awards vest is net of the tax withholding requirements paid on behalf of the employees. In 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company withheld 68,101, 15,769, and 24,249 shares of common stock, respectively, to satisfy its employees’ tax obligations of $1.0 million, $156,000, and $222,000, respectively. The Company paid this amount in cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. Although shares withheld are not issued, they are treated as common stock repurchases for accounting and disclosure purposes, as they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting. Stock Repurchase Program On August 5, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors modified Cutera, Inc.’s Stock Repurchase Program, originally adopted in November 2012, to permit an additional $10 million of its issued and outstanding common shares to be repurchased. As modified, the Stock Repurchase Program permitted the Company to purchase an aggregate of $20 million of its common stock through a 10b5-1 program based on predetermined pricing and volume as well as open-market purchases that are subject to management discretion and regulatory restrictions In the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company repurchased 1,060,447 shares of its common stock at an average price of $9.43 per share, for approximately $10.0 million. The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock in the year ended December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, there remained $10.0 million available under the modified Stock Repurchase Program to repurchase the Company’s common stock. On February 18, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the expansion of its stock repurchase program from $10 million to $40 million. In the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company repurchased 2,818,038 shares of its common stock at an average price of $14.19 per share, for approximately $40.0 million. |

The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value, when it is more likely than not that it will not be able to generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the net carrying value. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets due to its history of operating losses. In the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, there was a net increase in the valuation allowance of $1.6 million, $3.3 million, and $0.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had cumulative net operating loss carry-forwards for federal and state income tax reporting purposes of approximately $41.8 million and $11.2 million, respectively. The federal net operating loss carry-forwards if not utilized will begin to expire beginning in 2029 through the year 2035 and the state net operating loss carry-forwards if not utilized will expire beginning in 2029 through the year 2035. The Company maintained a valuation allowance against these net operating loss carry-forwards as of December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had research and development tax credits for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $4.7 million and $5.7 million, respectively. The federal research and development tax credits if not utilized will expire beginning in 2024 through the year 2035. The state research and development credits can be carried forward indefinitely, except for $284,000, which will expire at various dates through the year 2020. The Company maintained a valuation allowance against these tax credits as of December 31, 2015. Included in the net operating loss and research and development tax credit carryforwards are approximately $5.2 million of excess tax benefits from employee stock option exercises, for which the Company has not recorded a deferred tax asset. When such excess tax benefits are ultimately realized, the Company will record the deferred tax asset and the credit to additional paid in capital. Utilization of U.S. net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards may be limited by “ownership change” rules, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws. The Company has not conducted a study to-date to assess whether a limitation would apply under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code as and when it starts utilizing its net operating losses and tax credits. The Company will continue to monitor activities in the future. In the event the Company previously experienced an ownership change, or should experience an ownership change in the future, the amount of net operating losses and research and development credit carryovers available in any taxable year could be limited and may expire unutilized. Undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries at December 31, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $2.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for federal and state income taxes has been provided thereon. If these foreign earnings were to be repatriated in the future, the related U.S. tax liability would be reduced by any foreign income taxes previously paid on these earnings. Because of the availability of U.S. foreign tax credits, the determination of the unrecognized deferred tax liability on these earnings is not practicable. Uncertain Tax Positions The Company establishes reserves for uncertain tax positions based on the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. The Company has provided taxes and related interest and penalties due for potential adjustments that may result from examinations of open U.S. federal, state and foreign tax years. If the Company ultimately determines that payment of these amounts are not more-likely-than-not, the Company will reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the period in which the Company makes the determination. The Company will record an additional charge in the Company’s provision for taxes in the period in which the Company determines that the recorded tax liability is less than the Company expects the ultimate assessment to be. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to gross unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes. The Company files U.S., state, and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The 2005 through 2015 tax years generally remain subject to examination by U.S., federal and California state tax authorities due to the Company’s net operating loss and credit carryforwards. For significant foreign jurisdictions, the 2010 through 2015 tax years generally remain subject to examination by their respective tax authorities. The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits in December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2015 (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 201 5 201 4 201 3 Balance at beginning of year $ 597 $ 535 $ 536 Increases related to prior year tax positions — — 36 Increases related to current year tax positions 54 62 116 Decreases related to lapsing of statute of limitations — — (153 ) Balance at end of year $ 651 $ 597 $ 535 The Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect its effective tax rate at December 31, 2015 and 2014, were approximately $33,000. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had accrued approximately $45,000 and $41,000 for payment of interest, respectively. Interest included in the provision for income taxes was not significant in all the periods presented. The Company has not accrued any penalties related to its uncertain tax positions as it believes that it is more likely than not that there will not be any assessment of penalties. The Company expects that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will not materially change within the next 12 months. |

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 9 —DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN In the U.S., the Company has an employee savings plan (“401(k) Plan”) that qualifies as a deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Eligible employees may make voluntary contributions to the 401(k) Plan up to 100% of their annual compensation, subject to statutory annual limitations. In 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company made discretionary contributions under the 401(k) Plan of $244,000, $211,000 and $184,000, respectively. For the Company’s Japanese subsidiary, a discretionary employee retirement plan has been established. In addition, for some of the Company’s other foreign subsidiaries, the Company deposits funds with insurance companies, third-party trustees, or into government-managed accounts consistent with the requirements of local laws. The Company has fully funded or accrued for its obligations as of December 31, 2015, and the related expense for each of the three years then ended was not significant. |

These forecasted time-horizons can vary among different suppliers. The Company’s open inventory purchase commitments with its suppliers were not significant at December 31, 2015. Indemnifications In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that contain a variety of representations, warranties, and indemnification obligations. For example, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers and certain key employees. The Company’s exposure under its various indemnification obligations is unknown and not reasonably estimable as they involve future claims that may be made against the Company. As such, the Company has not accrued any amounts for such obligations. Litigation and Litigation Settlements The Company is named from time to time as a party to product liability and contractual lawsuits in the normal course of business. The Company routinely assesses the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes related to legal matters and claims, as well as ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of the reserves required, if any, for these contingencies is made after analysis of each known issue, historical experience, whether it is more likely than not that the Company shall incur a loss, and whether the loss is estimable. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had accrued $110,000 and $74,000, respectively, related to pending product liability and contractual lawsuits. |

Subsequent Events [Text Block] | NOTE 1 2 —SUBSEQUENT EVENT S On February 8, 2016, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved the expansion of its Stock Repurchase Program by $10 million, under which the Company is authorized to repurchase shares of its common stock. On February 11, 2016, Kendall Jenner and Kendall Jenner Inc. (“Plaintiffs”), filed a lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court, Central District of California, alleging trademark infringement, false endorsement and violation of Jenner’s right of publicity. The claims arise out of alleged advertising referring to news articles describing Jenner’s blog posting regarding her use of Cutera’s Laser Genesis treatment for her acne. In their complaint, the Plaintiffs state that they are seeking “at least $10 million” in compensatory damages and reasonable costs and attorney’s fees. The Company is presently investigating the matter and intends to defend the matter vigorously. While the Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the matter, the potential outcome of this litigation, or its impact upon the Company, cannot be predicted at this time. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Consolidation, Subsidiaries or Other Investments, Consolidated Entities, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Description of Operations and Principles of Consolidation Cutera, Inc. (“Cutera” or the “Company”) CoolGlide ® xeo solera ® GenesisPlus excel V truSculpt excel HR enlighten Titan ® truSculpt (“Merz”) Radiesse Titan truSculpt Headquartered in Brisbane, California, the Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries that are currently operational in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Hong Kong, Japan, Spain and Switzerland, that market, sell and service its products outside of the United States. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates their estimates, including those related to warranty obligation, sales commission, accounts receivable and sales allowances, valuation of inventories, fair values of acquired intangible assets, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of options to purchase the Company’s common stock and other share based awards, recoverability of deferred tax assets, and effective income tax rates, among others. Management bases their estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents Marketable Investments and Long-term Investments [Policy Text Block] | Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Investments The Company invests its cash primarily in money market funds and in highly liquid debt instruments of U.S. federal and municipal governments and their agencies, commercial paper and corporate debt securities. All highly liquid investments with stated maturities of three months or less from date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents; all highly liquid investments with stated maturities of greater than three months are classified as marketable investments. The majority of the Company’s cash and investments are held in U.S. banks and its foreign subsidiaries maintain a limited amount of cash in their local banks to cover their short term operating expenses. The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in marketable securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. The Company’s marketable securities have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale. Investments with remaining maturities more than one year are viewed by the Company as available to support current operations, and are classified as current assets under the caption marketable investments in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Investments in marketable securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of stockholders’ equity. Any realized gains or losses on the sale of marketable securities are determined on a specific identification method, and such gains and losses are reflected as a component of interest and other income, net. |
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. Carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values as of the balance sheet dates because of their generally short maturities. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: ? Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. ? Level 2: Directly or indirectly observable inputs as of the reporting date through correlation with market data, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 also includes assets and liabilities that are valued using models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment since the input assumptions used in the models, such as interest rates and volatility factors, are corroborated by readily observable data from actively quoted markets for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. ? Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions. |
Marketable Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Impairment of Marketable Investments After determining the fair value of available-for-sales debt instruments, gains or losses on these securities are recorded to other comprehensive income, until either the security is sold or the Company determines that the decline in value is other-than-temporary. The primary differentiating factors that the Company considers in classifying impairments as either temporary or other-than-temporary impairments are the Company’s intent and ability to retain the investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value or the maturity of the investment, the length of the time and the extent to which the market value of the investment has been less than cost and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. There were no other-than-temporary impairments in the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013. |
Allowances for Sales Returns and Doubtful Accounts [Policy Text Block] | Allowance for Sales Returns and Doubtful Accounts The allowance for sales returns is based on the Company’s estimates of potential future product returns and other allowances related to current period product revenue. The Company analyzes historical returns, current economic trends and changes in customer demand and acceptance of our products. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. |
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, marketable investments and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are primarily invested in deposits and money market accounts with three major financial institutions in the U.S. In addition, the Company has operating cash balances in banks in each of the international locations in which it operates. Deposits in these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits, if any. Management believes that these financial institutions are financially sound and, accordingly, believes that minimal credit risk exists. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents. The Company invests in debt instruments, including bonds of the U.S. Government, its agencies and municipalities. The Company has also invested in other high grade investments such as commercial paper and corporate bonds. By policy, the Company restricts its exposure to any single issuer by imposing concentration limits. To minimize the exposure due to adverse shifts in interest rates, the Company maintains investments at an average maturity of generally less than eighteen months. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from worldwide customers. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses. As of December 31, 2015, there was one customer who represented more than 10% of the Company’s net accounts receivable. No single customer represented more than 10% of net accounts receivable as of December 31, 2014. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, domestic revenue accounted for 52%, 45%, and 42%, respectively, of total revenue, while international revenue accounted for 48%, 55%, and 58%, respectively, of total revenue. No single customer represented more than 10% of total revenue for any of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013. The Company is also subject to risks common to companies in the medical device industry, including, but not limited to, new technology innovations, dependence on key personnel, dependence on key suppliers, protection of proprietary technology, product liability, Food and Drug Administration and/ or international regulatory approvals required for new products and compliance with government regulations. |
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined on a standard cost basis, which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis, and market being determined as the lower of replacement cost or net realizable value. The Company includes demonstration units within inventories. Demonstration units are carried at cost and amortized over an estimated economic life of two years. Amortization expense related to demonstration units is recorded in Products cost of revenue or in the respective operating expense line based on which function and purpose for which the demonstration units are being used. Proceeds from the sale of demonstration units are recorded as revenue and all costs incurred to refurbish the systems prior to sale are charged to cost of revenue. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, demonstration inventories, net of accumulated depreciation, included in Finished goods inventory balance was $2.3 million. |
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation recognized is on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally as follows: Useful Lives (years) Leasehold improvements Lesser of useful life or term of lease Office equipment and furniture 3 Machinery and equipment 3 Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the costs and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operating expenses. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation expense related to property and equipment for 2015, 2014 and 2013, was $734,000, $562,000 and $602,000 respectively. Amortization expense for vehicles leased under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets, is not subject to amortization, but is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment, applying a fair-value based test. The Company’s intangible assets are comprised of purchased technology sub-licenses, acquired customer relationships, and those assets acquired in conjunction with an asset acquisition in February 2012 including, existing customer relationships, product portfolio and a manufacturing process for the products acquired. All identifiable intangibles have finite lives and are carried at cost, net of accumulated amortization. Amortization was recorded using the straight-line method, except for a portion of the purchased intangibles which are being amortized on a declining-balance basis, over their respective useful lives, which range from approximately 11 months to 10 years. |
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Impairment of Long-lived Assets Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at least annually or as circumstances indicate their value may no longer be recoverable. The goodwill impairment test is generally performed annually during the fourth fiscal quarter (or earlier if impairment indicators arise). The Company continues to operate in one segment, which is considered to be the sole reporting unit and therefore, goodwill was tested for impairment at the enterprise level. As of December 31, 2015, there has been no impairment of goodwill. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets, which include amortizable intangible and tangible assets. Acquired intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. The Company recognizes such impairment in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. In 2014, the Company’s impairment review indicated that certain purchased long-lived assets associated with the Iridex acquisition were impaired and an impairment charge of $650,000 was recognized. No other impairment losses were incurred in the periods presented. |
Standard Product Warranty, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Warranty Obligations The Company provides a standards one-year warranty on all systems sold to end-customers. Warranty coverage provided is for labor and parts necessary to repair the systems during the warranty period. For sales to distributors, the Company generally provides a 14-month warranty for parts only, with labor being provided to the end customer by the distributor. The Company accounts for the estimated warranty cost of the standard warranty coverage as a charge to costs of revenue when revenue is recognized. The estimated warranty cost is based on historical product performance. To determine the estimated warranty reserve, the Company utilizes actual service records to calculate the average service expense per system and applies this to the equivalent number of units exposed under warranty. The Company updates these estimated charges every quarter. |
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Revenue Recognition Products revenue is recognized when title and risk of ownership has been transferred, provided that: ? Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; ? The price is fixed or determinable; ? Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; and ? Collectability is reasonably assured. Transfer of title and risk of ownership occurs when the product is shipped to the customer or when the customer receives the product, depending on the nature of the arrangement. Revenue is recorded net of customer and distributor discounts. When collectability is not reasonably assured, the Company recognizes revenue upon receipt of cash payment. Sales to customers and distributors do not include any return or exchange rights. In addition, the Company’s distributor agreements obligate the distributor to pay the Company for the sale regardless of whether the distributor is able to resell the product. Shipping and handling charges are invoiced to customers based on the amount of products sold. Shipping and handling fees are recorded as revenue and the related expense as a component of Products cost of revenue. Multiple-element arrangements A multiple-element arrangement includes the sale of one or more tangible product offerings with one or more associated services offerings, each of which are individually considered separate units of accounting. The Company determined that its multiple-element arrangements are generally comprised of the following elements that are recognized as separate units of accounting: Product and service contracts. For multiple-element arrangements revenue is allocated to each element based on their relative selling prices. Relative selling prices are based on vendor specified objective evidence (“VSOE”), if available, third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”) when VSOE does not exist, and on best estimate of selling price (“BESP”) if VSOE and TPE do not exist. Because the Company has neither VSOE nor TPE for its systems and service contracts, the allocation of revenue is based on the Company’s BESPs for each element. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service was sold on a stand-alone basis. The Company determines BESP for its products or services by considering multiple factors including, prices charged for stand-alone sales, features and functionality of the products and services, geographies, type of customer, and market conditions. Revenue allocated to each element is then recognized when the other revenue recognition criteria are met for the element. In the first and second quarter of 2013, with respect to the sale of its truSculpt product, the Company provided promotions that included an unlimited number of “free” hand piece replacements during a stated trial period of 3 months or 12 months. These free refills were treated as an undelivered element under FASB ASC 605-25 in the original revenue transaction. The Company deferred the relative fair value related to the estimated number of hand piece replacements to be delivered during the promotional period and recognized that deferred revenue over the free refills promotion period. Commencing in the third quarter of 2013, the Company now includes unlimited refills as part of the truSculpt standard warranty and the Company no longer accounts for the truSculpt truSculpt The Company also offers customers extended service contracts. Revenue under service contracts is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the applicable service contract. Service revenue billed on a time and material basis, from customers whose systems are not under a service contact, is recognized as the services are provided. Service revenue for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013 was $17.7 million, $17.8 million, and $17.7 million, respectively. |
Cost of Sales, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Cost of Revenue Cost of revenue consists primarily of material, finished and semi-finished products purchased from third-party manufacturers, labor, stock-based compensation expenses, overhead involved in our internal manufacturing processes, technology license amortization and royalties, costs associated with product warranties and any inventory or intangible write-downs. The Company's system sales include a control console, universal graphic user interface, control system software, high voltage electronics and a combination of applications (referred to as hand pieces). Hand pieces are programmed to have a limited number of uses to ensure the safety of the device to patients. The Company sells refurbished hand pieces, or "refills," of its Titan product and provides for refurbishment of other hand pieces under warranty or service contracts. When customers purchase a replacement hand piece (or “refill”) or are provided a replacement hand piece under a warranty or service contract, Cutera ships the customer a previously refurbished unit. Upon the receipt of the expended hand piece from the customer the Company capitalizes the expended hand piece as inventory at the estimated fair value. Cost of revenue includes the costs incurred to refurbish hand pieces. |
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Research and Development Expenditures Costs related to research, design, development and testing of products are charged to research and development expense as incurred. Expenses incurred primarily relate to employees, facilities, material, third party contractors and clinical and regulatory fees. |
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Advertising Costs Advertising costs are included as part of sales and marketing expense and are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $1.2 million, $1.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively. |
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] | Stock-based Compensation The Company accounts for its employee stock options under the fair value method of accounting using a Black-Scholes valuation model to measure stock option expense at the date of grant. The fair value of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) is measured at the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The fair value of Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”) that have operational measurement goals, are measured at the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. PSUs with market-based measurement goals are valued using the Monte-Carlo simulation option-pricing model. The Monte-Carlo simulation option-pricing model uses the same input assumptions as the Black-Scholes model, however, it further incorporates into the fair-value determination the possibility that the market condition may not be satisfied. Stock-based compensation expense for market-based PSU awards is recognized regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied, provided that the requisite service has been provided. Stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized over the requisite service period. For RSUs and PSUs, the Company issues shares on the vesting dates, net of the minimum tax withholding requirements to be paid by the Company on behalf of its employees. As a result, the actual number of shares issued will be fewer than the actual number of RSUs and PSUs that vest. The Company records the liability for withholding amounts to be paid by the Company as a reduction to additional paid-in capital when the shares are issued. Cash flows resulting from the tax benefits due to tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for stock-based awards for options exercised and for RSUs and PSUs vested during the period (excess tax benefits), are classified as financing cash flows. |
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Income Taxes The Company recognizes income taxes under the liability method. The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates in income in the period that includes the enactment date. For deferred tax assets which are not subject to a valuation allowance, the Company has determined that its future taxable income will be sufficient to recover all of the deferred tax assets. However, should there be a change in the recoverability of the deferred tax assets, the Company could be required to record a valuation allowance against the net carrying value of its deferred tax assets. This would result in an increase to the Company’s tax provision in the period in which they determined that the recovery was not probable. The measurement of deferred taxes often involves an exercise of judgment related to the computation and realization of tax basis. The deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management’s assessment that tax positions taken, and the resulting tax basis, are more likely than not to be sustained if they are audited by taxing authorities. Also, assessing tax rates that the Company expects to apply and determining the years when the temporary differences are expected to affect taxable income requires judgment about the future apportionment of the Company’s income among the states in which the Company operates. These matters, and others, involve the exercise of significant judgment. Any changes in the Company’s practices or judgments involved in the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities could materially impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to amounts that the Company believes are more likely than not to be recovered. The Company evaluates its deferred tax assets quarterly to determine whether adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowance are appropriate. In making this evaluation, the Company relies on its recent history of pre-tax earnings, estimated timing of future deductions and benefits represented by the deferred tax assets, and its forecasts of future earnings, the latter two of which involve the exercise of significant judgment. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against its U.S. federal and state deferred tax asset due to a history of operating losses. The Company establishes reserves for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the Income Taxes subtopic of ASC 740. The subtopic prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. Additionally, the subtopic provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, and transition of uncertain tax positions. The impact of an uncertain income tax position on income tax expense must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. The Company has provided taxes and related interest and penalties due for potential adjustments that may result from examinations of open U.S. Federal, state and foreign tax years. The Company will reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the period in which the Company makes the determination that the tax position is effectively settled through examination, negotiation, or litigation, or the statute of limitations for the relevant taxing authority to examine and challenge the tax position has expired. The Company will record an additional charge in the Company’s provision for taxes in the period in which the Company determines that the recorded tax liability is less than the Company expects the ultimate assessment to be. |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Computation of Net Loss per Share Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares and dilutive potential shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential shares primarily consist of employee stock options. Diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share for the periods presented because the inclusion of outstanding common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive. U.S. GAAP requires that employee equity share options, non-vested shares and similar equity instruments granted by the Company be treated as potential common shares outstanding in computing diluted earnings per share. In periods of net income, diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of in-the-money options, which is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options, the amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in additional-paid-in-capital when the award becomes deductible are all assumed to be used to repurchase shares. |
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss includes all changes in stockholders’ equity except those resulting from investments or contributions by stockholders. For the periods presented, the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consisted solely of the unrealized gains or losses on the Company's available-for-sale investments, net of tax. |
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block] | Foreign Currency The U.S. Dollar is the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries. Monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured into U.S. Dollars at the applicable period end exchange rate. Sales and operating expenses are re-measured at average exchange rates in effect during each period. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in net income (loss) and are insignificant for each of the three years ended December 31, 2015. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents was insignificant for each of the three years presented in the period ended December 31, 2015. |
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Segments The Company operates in one segment. Management uses one measurement of profitability and does not segregate its business for internal reporting. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, 68% and 71%, respectively, of all long-lived assets were maintained in the U.S. See Note 10 for details relating to revenue by geography. |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled to for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. The updated standard becomes effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting of Fees Paid in Cloud Computing Arrangement, guidance on accounting for fees paid in cloud computing arrangements. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a services contract. All software licenses recognized under this guidance will be accounted for consistent with other licenses of intangible assets. The guidance becomes effective for the Company for the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. Currently, an entity is required to measure its inventory at the lower of cost or market, whereby market can be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. The changes require that inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, thereby eliminating the use of the other two market methodologies. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. These changes do not apply to inventories measured using LIFO (last-in, first-out) or the retail inventory method. These changes become effective on January 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases . This guidance requires that lease arrangements longer than twelve months result in a lessee recognizing a lease asset and liability. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the updated guidance on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In November 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, requiring all deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any related valuation allowance, to be classified as non-current on the balance sheet. The classification change for all deferred taxes as non-current simplifies entities’ processes as it eliminates the need to separately identify the net current and net non-current deferred tax asset or liability in each jurisdiction and allocate valuation allowances. The Company elected to prospectively adopt this accounting standard in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. No prior periods were retrospectively adjusted and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. |
