RF-frequency devices for aesthetic applications go back at least 15 years to a company called Thermage (#msg-3876193). The THRM device never sold well and ended up being a swanky coat hanger at many doctor’s offices (#msg-11593419, #msg-29182011). THRM, which became SLTM, was eventually bought by Valeant Pharmaceuticals (the ultimate roll-up company) in 2013.

THRM’s device used RF-frequency waves to heat cells. I’m unclear how RF can used to cool cells, as AGN’s CoolTone supposedly does.

The Zeltiq device is cryogenic and seems to work according to a couple of relatives that have tried it. The cool tone device is magnetic and not as proprietary. There are already devices on the market such as the one below. I would like to see the data supporting the claim that 1.35T gives better results than 0.9T.

~ 60% more effective then laser removal. Shorter treatments (2 months average vs ~ 1 year avg removal) without inflicting pain on clients.

Do some more Dewdiligence on it.

[OT]—I would question the business plan of any company that’s working on cellulite.

What’s differentiating about SOLY as compared to tattoo removal by laser?

In regards to AGN.. Has anyone heard of SOLY yet? The board of the company was recently involved with a similar company that developed a breakthrough fat reduction therapy that was purchased by AGN for 56$ ps or 2.4B.

$SOLY has patented technology on industry leading tattoo removal (RAP) & they announce their trial results for cellulite removal today.
