SOLTA MEDICAL ANNOUNCES NEW
LIPOSONIX NON-INVASIVE FAT REDUCTION TREATMENT IN SINGAPORE
Liposonix® Custom Contouring Treatment: 1 Treatment, 1 Hour, 1 Size Smaller
Singapore, 13 June 2013 – Solta Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLTM), a global leader in the medical aesthetics market, today
launches the second generation Liposonix non-invasive fat reduction system approved by the U S Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) and Singapore Health Sciences Authority (HSA). The Liposonix system is specifically indicated for
non-invasive waist circumference reduction on both the abdomen and flanks.
The Liposonix system uses non-invasive, high-intensity focused ultrasound (or HIFU) to permanently get rid of targeted fat
around the waistline, love handles and abdomen, without surgery. The average waistline reduction after just one, one-hour
treatment is about one inch – which typically means one dress or pant size. Results are usually seen in 8 to 12 weeks (which is
the time needed for the body to naturally remove the treated fat). Liposonix is not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle and
exercise and is not a way to lose weight. It is a quick and easy way to help patients slim that last inch and hit their personal
shape goals.
Since its introduction in the U.S., Liposonix has been featured in many high profile media outlets, including broadcast
programs such as Dr. Oz, The Doctors, and 20/20 with Barbara Walters. Thus far the Liposonix treatment has received very
positive reviews from patients as reflected in on-line aesthetic procedure forums. The Liposonix system is currently marketed
and sold in markets worldwide.
The Company will be exhibiting Liposonix along with all of its industry leading aesthetic solutions at the IMCAS Asia 2013
held on the 27 – 29 July at the Singapore Suntec Convention Center.

ABOUT THE LIPOSONIX SYSTEM
The LipoSonix system technology was developed over a period of 10 years by leading scientists and ultrasound experts with more than 200 years of
combined experience in the development of therapeutic and diagnostic ultrasound devices.
The LipoSonix system uses advanced high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology to permanently destroy targeted fat just beneath the skin in the
treatment areas of the abdomen and flanks as a noninvasive, nonsurgical approach to aesthetic waist circumference reduction. Clinical studies conducted by
Medicis Technologies Corporation showed an average waist circumference reduction of approximately 2.6 cm after a single treatment with the LipoSonix
system. Office visit time and individual results may vary. Results are typically seen in 8 to 12 weeks.
The LipoSonix treatment is not a replacement for liposuction surgery or a healthy lifestyle, or a way to lose weight. No special diet or exercise program is
required. The LipoSonix system has a well-defined safety profile. There is no need for anesthesia.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR THE LIPOSONIX SYSTEM
The LipoSonix treatment may pose certain risks and may not be suitable for everyone. The LipoSonix system is intended for adults over 18 years of age who
have at least 1.0 cm of fat thickness beyond the selected treatment focal depth of the system in the area to be treated. The most frequently reported side
effects during the LipoSonix treatment are: discomfort, pain, cold, prickling, tingling or warmth. The most frequently reported side effects after the
LipoSonix treatment, when used as recommended, are: pain (discomfort), bruising, redness and swelling, which are generally described (or rated) as mild.
You should not have the LipoSonix treatment if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant. The LipoSonix treatment is available only from a qualified
healthcare professional.
