| Description |
|
Xthetix is a consumer skin care medical device company developing, manufacturing, and marketing novel therapeutic ultrasound products for the expanding over-the-counter (OTC) aesthetics market. |
|
| Products / Services |
Xthetix's products include a handheld, high-frequency ultrasound device for acne treatment and prevention, along with devices addressing facial skin rejuvenation. The company's offerings are designed to improve skin tone and texture, restoring elasticity to the face and decreasing the look of wrinkles and other signs of aging.
|
|
| Technology / Differentiation |
| The company's ultrasound device prevents the occurrence of acne and other skin blemishes by inhibiting sebaceous gland function without eliciting undesirable side effects or surface damage to the epidermis. Additionally, the device quickly treats existing pimples by heating skin tissues at a desired target depth without heating the skin's surface. |
|
| Market / Customers |
According to Medical Insight's 2009 market study, Global Aesthetic Market VI, total sales of aesthetic products likely exceeded $5 billion in 2008 and will expand by 11.7% per year to $8.2 billion through 2012.
|
|
| Status |
| Xthetix raised $2.0 million in Series A funding from the internationally-renowned venture capital and private equity firm, 3i, in 2006. |
