Clinical trials for tattoo removals have demonstrated that using the Company’s RAP device, in conjunction with a Q-Switched laser, allows for multiple passes of laser treatment in a single treatment session. The current standard of care for tattoo removal is to use a Q-Switched laser to ablate the tattoo ink particles into pieces small enough for the body’s natural processes to remove them. Independent studies have shown this standard treatment requires on average ten or more office visits to achieve acceptable results. In our own clinical trial using the RAP device in conjunction with a Q-Switched laser, patients experienced 75% to 100% removal of their tattoos in just three office visits.
Dr. Chris Capelli, President, CEO and Co-Founder of Soliton, said, “Our corporate patent portfolio continues to expand globally as a component of our overall intellectual property assets. This portfolio is essential to support the Company commercialization strategy which focuses both on domestic U.S. channels as well as aesthetic channels in a variety of international markets.” Dr. Capelli continued, “Additionally, clinical trials are under way to determine if our device may be effective at removing cellulite or accelerating current fat removal technologies.”
