As the bane of women the world over, treatment for cellulite is a healthcare holy grail. Elemé Medical has developed the FDA-cleared SmoothShapes system, a proprietary technology (dubbed Photomology) to treat the underlying causes of cellulite.
Photomology combines laser energy with mechanical massage and vacuum to improve the appearance of the skin surface, but only temporarily.
The company, private and venture-backed, raised $18 million last July. Today it announced CE Mark approval for the system. Elemé will launch SmoothShapes internationally at the 17th Congress of the European Academy of Dermatology & Venereology taking place this week in Paris.
