Merz Aesthetics, a division of Merz North America (US affiliate of the global Merz Pharma Group) announced today that it will have two Late-Breaking Research Forum Presentations at the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting in Washington D.C.
“We’re honored that the research conducted with two of our in-office devices, the Cellfina™ System and Ultherapy, was chosen for Late-Breaking Research Forum Presentations, which highlight the latest ground-breaking observations in the market. Both devices have proven track records with patients and physicians; and continuing to study their use in order to elevate the experience of our customers is important to Merz,” Patrick Urban, U.S. Head of Merz Aesthetics Device Division, said. “The Cellfina™ System data is especially notable, showcasing that the device provides long-term improvements in the appearance of cellulite and no reduction in treatment benefits, making it the longest-lasting option for cellulite available on the market.”
The presentation (Abstract ID 3821) for the Cellfina™ System, titled “Multicenter Pivotal Study of the Safety and Effectiveness of a Tissue Stabilized-Guided Subcision Procedure for the Treatment of Cellulite: 3 Year Update” will highlight new outcome data up to 3 years from the pivotal prospective, multi-centered study (Kaminer et al. Multicenter pivotal study of vacuum-assisted precise tissue release for the treatment of cellulite. Dermatol Surg 2015;41:336-347). Presenter: Michael Kaminer, MD, FAAD; Skincare Physicians; Chestnut Hill, MA.
The second presentation (Abstract ID 3807) is titled the “Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Microfocused Ultrasound with Visualization (MFU-V) for the Treatment of Signs and Symptoms of Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea.” Presenter: Rosalyn George, MD, FAAD; Wilmington Dermatology Center; Wilmington, NC.
Both late-breaking presentations will be held on March 5, 2016, at the Late-Breaking Research Forum for Procedural Dermatology (F065) at 2:24 pm and 2:36 pm in Room 146C.
