Soliton studies acoustic cellulite treatment

RAP technology combines selective disruption of fibrotic structures with production of new collagen in single non-invasive procedure

Soliton, Inc., (SOLY) (“Soliton” or the “Company”), a medical device company with a novel and proprietary platform technology licensed from The University of Texas on behalf of the MD Anderson Cancer Center (“MD Anderson”), today announced results of preclinical studies of the use of a new version of its acoustic pulse technology which reveal its RAP device appears to be capable of selective disruption of the fibrotic septa that contribute to the appearance of cellulite.  The new discovery, referred to as “acoustic subcision,” helps explain the recent proof-of-concept trial results showing an improvement in the appearance of cellulite following use of the Company’s RAP device.  Together with the device’s demonstrated ability to stimulate new collagen production in animal models, this represents what the Company believes is a potentially important new way to treat cellulite and improve the appearance of the skin.  The RAP device for the treatment of cellulite is investigational and not available for sale in the United States.

“While the proof-of-concept clinical trial results we have recently announced regarding the improvement in the appearance of cellulite have been very encouraging,” commented Dr. Chris Capelli, President and CEO of Soliton, “Understanding the basic science and biology behind these results is very important.  We believe the discovery we are outlining here helps explain the promising results we saw from this trial, as well as setting the foundation for a platform technology that may have potential in a number of aesthetic indications.”
