HAYWARD, Calif., May 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Solta Medical,
Inc. (Nasdaq: SLTM), the global market leader in aesthetic skin
treatments, today announced the Thermage® Total Tip 3.0,
a highly effective treatment tip for face and neck as well as other
body treatments that offers the earliest visible results in
Thermage treatment history in addition to the consistent long-term
results. Targeted, uniform, bulk heating allows dermatologists to
treat patients effectively while maintaining patient comfort.
"With the Total Tip, patients are seeing visible results in
their face, jowls and neck right off the table," said Michael S. Kaminer, MD., Managing Partner of
SkinCare Physicians, Assistant Clinical Professor of Dermatology at
Yale Medical School and Adjunct
Assistant Professor at Dartmouth Medical School and Brown Medical
School. "Doctors can confidently treat the face, neck, hands and
body with one highly-effective tip. The Total Tip safely delivers
as much as two times greater bulk heating volume which allows more
tissue to be heated to higher temperatures, delivering better
results. Thermage has had 10 years of technological refinement, and
patients continue to see results that are more consistent and
superior to what we saw in the past."
Thermage uses radiofrequency technology to non-invasively help
smooth, and contour the skin, as well as temporarily reduce the
appearance of cellulite, in a single treatment with little to no
downtime. The Thermage Total Tip is effective for facial treatments
because it delivers uniform, volumetric bulk heating. This heat is
dispersed through the vascular structures, which are more abundant
on the face than other body areas. This dispersal and uniformity of
energy may lead to increased patient tolerability and allows
practitioners to deliver an efficient volume of heat on the face,
with highly positive outcomes. Patients notice both early and
long-term results.
"We are very pleased with results physicians are seeing with the
Thermage Total Tip," said Stephen J.
Fanning, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of Solta
Medical, Inc. "Our physicians are reporting results right off the
table using the Total Tip for face treatments. Thermage Total Tip
offers a simplified and highly effective solution for
dermatologists, plastic surgeons and clinicians treating patients'
needs worldwide."
Since 2002, more than one million Thermage procedures have been
safely performed in over 80 countries on patients of all ages, skin
types and body areas, resulting in significant clinical outcomes
and unmatched physician acceptance. The precise radiofrequency
energy allows most patients to experience more immediate results
that last for months, but vary by age, skin condition and skincare
regimen. Treatment times vary by position on the body, but are safe
for all skin types and are suitable for both men and women.
