Analysis
ACI's GFX device creates RF heat lesions in nerve tissue to weaken nerve signal transduction and reduce the appearance of frown lines. The technology may serve as an alternative to neurotoxin. BioForm will conduct clinical studies to support an FDA application to market the GFX device for the treatment of frown lines, and believes that it can offer synergies with its Radiesse dermal filler product.
