          I have reviewed this annual report on Form 20-F of Syneron Medical Ltd.;

2.       
          Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a
          material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
          made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not
          misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

          condition, results of operations and cash flows of the company as of, and for,
          the periods presented in this report;

4.       
          The companys other certifying officer and I are responsible for
          establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in

disclosure                     controls and procedures to be designed under our
supervision, to ensure that                     material information relating to the
company, including its consolidated                     subsidiaries, is made known to us
by others within those entities, particularly                     during the period in

such                     internal control over financial reporting to be designed under
our supervision,                     to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting                     and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance                     with generally
accepted accounting principles;

about the effectiveness                     of the disclosure controls and procedures, as
of the end of the period covered                     by this report based on such
evaluation; and
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (d)
                      Disclosed in this report any change in the companys internal
control over                     financial reporting that occurred during the period
covered by the annual report                     that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the                     companys internal
control over financial reporting; and
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.       
          The companys other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our
          most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
          companys auditors and the audit committee of the companys board of
          directors (or persons performing the equivalent function):

                      All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
or operation                     of internal control over financial reporting which are
reasonably likely to                     adversely affect the companys ability to
record, process, summarize and                     report financial information; and
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
