BioForm Medical Acquires Facial Aesthetic Nerve Ablation Technology
Date:4/30/2008

inimally invasive procedure is conducted in physician's offices with local anesthesia, usually taking approximately 30 minutes. The probe tip is inserted under the skin and the correct nerve is identified through stimulation, which causes visible muscle contraction. The same probe delivers localized and controlled bi-polar RF energy for approximately 30 seconds to reduce nerve function. Commonly reported adverse effects include some pain or discomfort during the treatment, and swelling following the treatment. As with any medical procedure, other adverse outcomes may also occur.

Approximately 300 patients have received nerve ablation treatment with the ACI device worldwide, many in clinical studies intended to support development and evaluation of this device and procedure for aesthetics applications. BioForm Medical intends to further evaluate the ACI device in additional clinical studies worldwide and expects to launch the product commercially upon achieving appropriate regulatory clearances in each market.

Neurotoxin products, such as Botox(R) Cosmetic from Allergan, Inc., are the current leading option for treatment of frown lines. This needle- injection treatment typically provides a short-term (up to four months) effect. Neurotoxins are injected through the skin into the muscle. The neurotoxin keeps the muscle from moving, reducing the appearance of frown lines. Approximately three million treatments per year with Botox Cosmetic are performed in the U.S. annually according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
