One of the hottest new technologies at the 2015 American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery Annual Conference was a new, non-invasive lipolysis treatment "SculptSure". Abstracts presented at the 2015 American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery Annual Conference featured clinical data from approximately 100 subjects treated with SculpSure in multicenter studies at two U.S. sites. Researchers saw statistically significant reduction in adipose layer thickness, six and 12 weeks post-treatment. SculpSure is intended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or less. According to the World Health Organization, in 2014 approximately 1.3 billion adults 18 years and older worldwide were overweight.

Cold vs Heat for Fat Reduction?
This new device uses temperature to destroy fat cells with heat. The recent success of CoolSculpting by Zeltiq has demonstrated that both physicians and patients are impressed with non-invasive fat reduction treatments.
"While SculpSure is our first non-invasive lipolysis treatment, the device leverages the expertise we have gained through the successful development and commercial launch of products including SmartLipo and Cellulaze," Davin said. "It is a customer base and a treatment area we know extremely well. This clearance marks an important step in a broader marketing strategy that includes expanded treatment indications and new geographic markets. Currently, for example, we are pursuing FDA 510(k) clearance of SculpSure for non-invasive lipolysis of the abdomen, one of a number of potential catalysts we believe will help drive adoption of this technology."
