ATLANTA, Oct. 27 -- Thermage(R) today introduced the 3.0 cm2 ThermaTip(TM) enabling Thermage procedure time savings, reducing procedure cost, and improving patient comfort. The company made the announcement at the combined annual meeting of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) and the American College of Mohs Micrographic Surgery and Cutaneous Oncology (ACMMSCO) in Atlanta (Booth #503).

A multi-center clinical study showed that compared to the 1.5 cm2, the larger 3.0 cm2 ThermaTip allows physicians to save time and increase patient comfort. In addition, the expanded treatment range allows Thermage to be performed on the most sensitive patients.

"I've found that patients treated with the 3.0 cm2 are more comfortable and enjoy shorter treatment times due to fewer pulses," said Michael Kaminer, M.D. "The new tip delivers consistent efficacy and improved time efficiency, which will make Thermage easier to incorporate into a busy practice."

The 3.0 cm2 tip has twice the surface area as the 1.5 cm2 tip allowing the same area of skin to be covered in half the time. In the multi-center study, the 3.0 cm2 tip had the same immediate efficacy as the 1.5 cm2 tip.

"The introduction of the 3.0 cm2 ThermaTip signals our commitment to deliver on our promise of providing a platform of tips to meet our customers' needs," said Stephen J. Fanning, president and chief executive officer at Thermage. "We continue to look at ways to make the procedure faster and more comfortable."

As part of Thermage's partnership with its customers, the price of the 3.0 cm2 is the same as the 1.5 cm2. Covering more surface area with each pulse will result in fewer REPS and higher profitability per procedure. The 3.0 cm2 tips will be available to customers in the U.S. starting November 2005 and globally in January 2006. Physicians must comply with the 2005 Treatment Guidelines to receive the 3.0 cm2 tips.
