The company’s pipeline also included a number of additional aesthetics products, including a radiofrequency treatment to reduce nerve function in the forehead, a sclerotherapy treatment for spider veins, and a surgical adhesive for brow lifts. The company completed its initial public offering in 2007.
“Essex Woodlands was instrumental in BioForm's evolution and success. The entire EW team helped us assess technologies, revise and test our strategies, and test our assumptions and market vision. Our annual brainstorming session and update to the partnership proved to be one of our most valuable strategic review forums and helped us crystalize and refine BioForm's strategy.”
