Elemé Medical™
receives CE Mark for its SmoothShapes® System
for longer-lasting cellulite improvement
Company will launch SmoothShapes at “EADV
Congress” in Paris beginning today
MERRIMACK, N.H. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) September 17, 2008 --
Elemé™
Medical Inc., a private venture-backed aesthetics company
building a franchise in the body shaping market with an initial focus on treatment
of cellulite, announced today that it has received CE Mark
approval of its FDA-cleared SmoothShapes®
System. The Company also announced that it is launching the SmoothShapes
device internationally at the “17th Congress
of the European Academy of Dermatology & Venereology”,
Sept. 17-21, Paris. The product launch will include an Elemé
Medical-sponsored symposium: “Impacting
Cellulite: A Discussion with SmoothShapes®
Experts.”
The SmoothShapes®
System uses a proprietary technology called Photomology®
that features a unique mechanism of action combining dynamic
laser and light energy with mechanical massage and vacuum.
This process affects the tissue responsible for the appearance of
cellulite—enlarged fat cells and inflexible
collagen. SmoothShapes stimulates restoration of healthy cell activity
by focusing on both the physical manifestations of cellulite and its
underlying causes. Treatments provide improved appearance of cellulite
with longer-lasting results that patients can see and feel.
“Based on our technology’s
robust scientific foundation, we expect considerable interest in
SmoothShapes from dermatologists attending the EADV Congress,”
said Nancy
M. Briefs, President and CEO. “These
clinicians will place high value on the fact that the
regulatory-approved claims about SmoothShapes are based exclusively
on results obtained in rigorous, independent and ongoing clinical
studies of our System. Consequently, we anticipate that SmoothShapes
will be able to quickly establish solid traction in European markets.”
The Elemé Medical-sponsored symposium, “Impacting
Cellulite: A Discussion with SmoothShapes®
Experts”, will include a panel of
international dermatology experts: Christine Dierickx, M.D.
(Boom, Belgium); Nathalie Fournier, M.D. (Clapiers, France); Serge
Mordon, Ph.D. (Lille, France); Klaus Fritz, M.D. (Landau,
Germany); and, Michail Pankratov, M.D., Ph.D. (Vice President,
Regulatory & Clinical Affairs, Elemé
Medical).
