SAN DIEGO, June 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Suneva Medical, Inc., a privately-held and innovative aesthetics leader, today announced the closing of a $25 million investment by Essex Woodlands. This financing strengthens Suneva Medical's rapid revenue growth and further supports the ongoing commercialization of the company's flagship products, Bellafill® and Regenica®.

Bellafill® is the only FDA approved dermal filler for the treatment of nasolabial folds, or smile lines, with five-year data for safety, effectiveness and patient satisfaction. It is also the only FDA approved dermal filler for the treatment of facial acne scars, representing a significant clinical advancement for a skin condition that previously had limited treatment choices. The Regenica® skin care line is formulated with the most advanced growth factor technology to enhance skin's natural repair and renewal mechanisms.   

"The expansion of the aesthetics market continues to grow across the United States. With two differentiated indications for Bellafill® and a next generation growth factor product in Regenica®, Suneva Medical is uniquely positioned to be a standout in the aesthetics industry," said Nicholas L. Teti, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Suneva Medical. "The additional funding from Essex Woodlands fortifies our position and allows us to further accelerate the strong momentum of the business which remains committed to product innovation backed by rigorous scientific data."

Martin Sutter, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Essex Woodlands, also commented on the investment: "We are pleased to be supporting Nick Teti and the management team as they continue the successful growth trajectories of Bellafill® and Regenica®.  Suneva's differentiated products are uniquely situated to take advantage of the tailwinds in the aesthetics market. We are excited to be a part of the growth of the company."

In conjunction with the investment, Essex Woodlands will receive one seat on Suneva Medical's board of directors and an independent seat will also be appointed. In addition to Essex Woodlands, other major equity shareholders include HealthCare Royalty Partners, Almirall, S.A. and Polaris Partners.
