SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Jan. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Novaestiq Corp., a growth-oriented aesthetic and medical dermatological innovations company, focused on delivering a platform of creative solutions to practices and patients, proudly announces its definitive agreement with Croma-Pharma GmbH to be the exclusive U.S. distributor of the Saypha® line of dermal fillers. This new partnership builds upon Novaestiq's existing collaboration with Croma-Pharma to develop innovative, next generation dermal fillers leveraging novel cross-linking capabilities.  

In addition, Novaestiq is pleased to announce that it has entered into exclusive negotiations to combine with Coronado Aesthetics, LLC owners of Sebacia™, FDA-cleared gold microparticles, indicated for use with 1064 nm lasers to treat acne vulgaris and a first-in-class FDA-cleared silver photo-particle topical gel indicated for use with 810 nm diode lasers for removal of light-colored hair. Both products will be branded under the Novaestiq aestheticIQ™ intelligence platform and will commence launch later this year. This combined offering of innovative products allows Novaestiq to cater to a substantial segment of the U.S. cash-pay aesthetics market whilst supporting improved practice economics.
