This technology was invented by Dr. Edward Knowlton, who also invented the Thermage technology, which has played an important role in aesthetics. "We believe that Tom has the experience and knowledge of aesthetics as we develop and plan to commercialize this technology with plastic surgeons and dermatologists," said Dr. Knowlton. 

About Rotational Fractional Resection

Rotational Fractional Resection (RFR) is a unique and proprietary technology to decrease skin laxity and improve focal contour by removing excess skin and fat. RFR handheld devices utilize tiny rotating cutting tubes to directly remove small plugs of skin in areas of skin laxity. This minimally invasive procedure will be performed in a physician's office, delivering surgery-like results without visible scarring.  

About Recros Medica, Inc.

Recros Medica was founded in 2014 by serial aesthetic entrepreneurs to develop a new technology platform, with multiple clinical applications. The primary opportunity for this platform is the development of clinical applications for use by Dermatologists, Plastic Surgeons and other aesthetic physicians that treat skin laxity and focal aesthetic contour deformities.
