IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Allergan
Aesthetics, an AbbVie company (NYSE: ABBV), today announced the
successful completion of its acquisition of Soliton, Inc. (NASDAQ:
SOLY). The addition of Soliton and its technology complements
Allergan Aesthetics' portfolio of non-invasive body contouring
treatments to now include a proven treatment for the appearance of
cellulite.
The RESONIC™ device initially received U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for the short-term
improvement in the appearance of cellulite, and that clearance has
now been expanded to long-term improvement up to one year. In
recent clinical data submitted to the FDA, RESONIC™
demonstrated significant improvement in the appearance of cellulite
and 97.6% of participants (n=67) found there was good improvement
in the appearance of cellulite at 52-weeks post-treatment.
"We welcome the Soliton team to Allergan Aesthetics and the
opportunity to offer health care providers and their patients a
new, non-invasive option to reduce the appearance of cellulite,"
said Carrie Strom, President, Global
Allergan Aesthetics and Senior Vice President, AbbVie. "In a recent
survey of aesthetics consumers, cellulite was cited as a top 5
aesthetic concern, and this technology offers a new approach to
treatment."
RESONIC™ has also received FDA 510(k)
clearance for use in conjunction with laser for black ink tattoo
removal in Fitzpatrick Skin Type I-III patients. For full safety
