Reliant Technologies Honored by Inc. Magazine

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Reliant Technologies Inc., maker of Fraxel laser systems, was recently ranked 157th on Inc. Magazines list of the top 500 fastest growing companies and eighth among American health companies.

Fraxel Makes the Inc. 500

Reliant is known for their advanced laser technology, which has quickly become the standard in the fast-growing aesthetics market. Increases of the sales of their Fraxel laser systems (a 1450 percent increase) over the past 3 years has largely contributed to the company’s success.

The criteria for Inc. magazine’s prestigious list is dependent on dramatic revenue growth. Companies must also be private, for-profit, U.S. based and not a subsidiary of another corporation. According to the magazine’s editor Jane Berentson, “If you want to find out which companies are going to change the world, look at the Inc. 500.”

In response to the ranking, CEO Eric Stang said, “We are pleased to be included in such a prestigious group of fast growing, successful companies that have been chosen by Inc. magazine.”

Chief technology officer Len DeBenedictis explained their rapid growth and success as a direct result of the success of Fraxel lasers used in aesthetic practices, saying, “We’ve seen continuous dramatic growth in the demand for Fraxel treatments as consumers become more aware of the safety and efficacy of our unique suite of skin rejuvenation products.”

Thermage buyout offer causes run on stock

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

The plot thickens!

An unnamed third party has made an unsolicited buyout offer for Thermage, Inc. – just weeks after Thermage announced a buyout of Reliant Technologies (which makes Fraxel).

Thermage said in a statement that it would “consider the unsolicited, non-binding proposal” and “will respond in due course.”

A Leerink Swann & Co. analyst said in a note to investors, “We are not surprised to see this bid, given the marginal strategic rationale for the pending acquisition of Reliant and Thermage’s current valuation.”

We have both Fraxel Re:pair and are the top Thermage provider in Washington, and assure our patients that no matter what the marketplace does, we’ll still be offering the highest level of treatment for both resurfacing and tightening.
