Merz Aesthetics Announces Expanded U.S. Availability of the Cellfina™ System

RALEIGH, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Merz
Aesthetics
, a division of Merz North America (US affiliate of the
global Merz Pharma Group), announced today that they have begun
commercial shipment of the Cellfina™
System
to aesthetic practices in the U.S. market. Cellfina™ is the
only FDA-cleared minimally invasive procedure clinically proven to
improve the appearance of cellulite in the buttocks and thighs of adult
females, for results that last at least two years, the longest duration
cleared by the FDA.


“This month’s product shipments represent a key milestone as we begin
the full commercial launch of the Cellfina™ System in the U.S. market,”
said Patrick Urban, Vice President and U.S. Head of the Merz Aesthetics
Device business. “Interest in Cellfina™ has continued to grow over the
past months, as evidenced by the ongoing national media coverage of this
unique cellulite treatment, including mentions on The Doctors, Good
Morning America and the Dr. Oz Show. With approximately 85% of U.S.
women reporting concerns with cellulite1, we look forward to
bringing this effective treatment option to more patients in the months
to come.”

The Cellfina™ System combines highly advanced, proprietary technology
with a well-established procedure called subcision, to treat the primary
structural cause of dimpled cellulite. In clinical trials, patient
satisfaction with the results of Cellfina™ treatment improved from 94%
at one year to 96% patient satisfaction at the two year mark. The most
common side effects reported were soreness, tenderness, and bruising.

“For adult women who want to improve the appearance of cellulite on the
thighs and buttocks, I have found Cellfina™ to be a safe and effective
treatment option that requires only one session for lasting results,”
said Dr.
Joel L. Cohen
. “In my own practice, treatment with Cellfina™ has
continued to yield very high patient satisfaction rates and lasting
results.” Joel L. Cohen, MD has been performing Cellfina™ treatments
since November 2014; he is a board-certified dermatologist in private
practice in Denver, Colorado and is the Director of AboutSkin
Dermatology and DermSurgery in Englewood and Lone Tree, Colorado. He
also serves on the volunteer faculty of the University of Colorado as an
Associate Clinical Professor, and as an assistant clinical professor at
