The Company launched Secret RF in the US in January 2018.
“Canada is an important market for Cutera, and I am very happy
that we are now able to introduce this innovative, skin
revitalization technology to our Canadian customers,” said Jason
Richey, Cutera’s COO and Interim CEO. “Secret RF’s microneedling
technique is a very popular treatment method in the US, and offers
excellent clinical results, for physicians and their patients
looking to improve and revitalize skin concerns. With this
approval, we look forward to positively impacting revenue in this
market.”
Ashish Bhatia, MD, Oak Dermatology, Chicago, IL, added, “We’ve
been partners with Cutera for several years, and have performed
many clinical studies with their research team for advancing
aesthetic technology. With Secret RF, we’ve expanded our
capabilities to provide patients individualized treatments, based
on their skin concerns, skin type and lifestyle needs. With the
adjustable levels of radio frequency and different tip sizes, we
are able to go to different depths of delivering the right amount
of energy to remodel the skin and generate collagen. Patient
satisfaction is very high after only 1 or 2 treatments.”
Sammy Kelada-Sedra, MD, New Creation MediCosmetic, St.
Catharines, ON, the first provider to offer Secret RF treatments in
Canada, stated, “We have been following the Secret RF microneedling
technology and the results for some time now. We are thrilled to
pioneer this in Canada and extend our services beyond our practice
across Ontario and other provinces. I look forward to helping my
patients address even more of their dermal aesthetic concerns.”
Research shows the global aesthetic market was more than $11B in
2018 and expected to grow at 11.1% per year through 2021. Skin
revitalization procedures are the #2 aesthetic procedure that
consumers are considering, after non-invasive body shaping.
