PR Newswire (US)
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md, April 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Solta
Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:SLTM) will present an expert panel of
physicians in skin tightening and resurfacing today from 6:00 pm to
8:00 pm at the 29th Annual Meeting of American Society for Lasers
in Medicine & Surgery (ASLMS). The roundtable discussion will
feature Drs. Brian Biesman, Michael Kaminer, Tina Alster, Amy Taub
and Robert Weiss discussing their experiences combining Thermage
and Fraxel procedures to deliver effective clinical outcomes for
patients. The distinguished panel will discuss their experiences
with: -- Clinical outcomes based on nearly 10,000 Thermage and
Fraxel procedures performed -- Treatment protocols and patient
selection of the combined procedure -- Marketing and patient
education Beginning on Sunday, April 5, the roundtable will be
available via webcast at http://sufo.org/thermage and
http://sufo.org/fraxel through a unique partnership with the
web-based educational forum. "By combining the Thermage and Fraxel
procedures sequentially, our experience has shown greater
tightening and greater smoothing of the skin than with either
procedure alone," said Robert Weiss, MD, founder of the Maryland
Laser, Skin and Vein Institute. "We sometimes refer to the enhanced
effect of both procedures combined as the '1 + 1 = 3' effect, as
patients see the benefits of greater tightening from Thermage and
greater smoothing from Fraxel than could be achieved by either
modality alone." You can download Dr. Weiss's white paper titled:
The Sequential Combination of Thermage(R) and Fraxel(R) Treatments
Results in Synergistic Improvements at solta.com/aslms. "Thermage
and Fraxel provide proven and trusted results, with minimal
downtime and at a fraction of the cost of surgery," said Stephen J.
Fanning, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of Solta Medical,
Inc. "Physicians who offer both Thermage for skin tightening and
Fraxel for skin resurfacing give their business a competitive
advantage by providing the two leading treatments patients ask for
by name." According to a recent report from the American Society of
Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), demand for minimally-invasive cosmetic
procedures grew by 5% to 10.4 million procedures in 2008. The study
also found that surgical procedures fell 9% in 2008, the first such
decline since 2004(1). Several physicians presenting at ASLMS will
discuss their clinical findings using Thermage and Fraxel systems.
