New European technology, offered exclusively by MedSurge Advances, has treated more than 1,500 patients and generated media coverage from coast to coast
DALLAS –March 1, 2007 – MedSurge Advances, the nation’s largest independent provider of aesthetic medicine products and services to physicians, today announced that 138 physicians are now offering Acoustic Wave Therapy™ (AWT™) -- a new treatment program to smooth and firm dimpled skin -- at medical spas across the United States.
The company also announced that more than 1,500 women have received Acoustic Wave Therapy since the service was launched nationally in September 2006. Additionally, AWT has earned television and newspaper coverage in more than 35 markets.
Dimpled or uneven skin is a nagging problem for millions of women, including those who work hard to keep fit. Through Acoustic Wave Therapy, women can achieve smoother skin in the areas where cellulite commonly forms -- the thighs, buttocks, abdomen and arms.
“AWT represents a breakthrough in solving the age-old problem of skin dimpling for women – a clinical treatment program implemented by physicians,” said Scott Day, chairman and CEO of MedSurge Advances. “We’re pleased that physicians, patients and the news media have popularized this new therapy so quickly.”
AWT was created by the Swiss company Storz Medical, which adapted technology originally designed to ease the pain associated with poor circulation and stiff joints. MedSurge Advances is the exclusive U.S. distributor for AWT.
Based in Dallas, MedSurge Advances is the nation’s largest independent provider of aesthetic medicine products and services to physicians. MedSurge Advances helps physicians across the United States build and manage their practices in aesthetic medicine, one of the fastest-growing healthcare segments.
