"This procedure results in a smoother appearance in troublesome areas such as the thighs and buttocks with minimal bruising and discomfort to our patients. We have very high patient satisfaction with this treatment."

"Developed in conjunction with a panel of remarkable plastic surgeons and cosmetic physicians, CelluSmooth is the newest innovation in Sciton's long line of laser technologies and represents a significant breakthrough in body contouring," stated Dan Negus, PhD, President of Sciton. "It represents yet another step in our long commitment to our customers and their patients to continuously improve and introduce clinically safe and effective devices with no technically unnecessary consumables," continued Dr. Negus.

CelluSmooth is available on the JOULE platform which offers multiple modules to treat many other indications. This, combined with Sciton's "no consumables" commitment, means physicians enjoy a maximum return on investment.
