Plan to initiate the commercial launch of the AYON Body Contouring System to key opinion leader surgeons in critical geographies during the second half of 2025
CLEARWATER, Fla., May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apyx Medical Corporation (NASDAQ:APYX) ("Apyx Medical"; the "Company"), the manufacturer of a proprietary helium plasma and radiofrequency technology marketed and sold as Renuvion®, is pleased to announce it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") for the AYON Body Contouring System™ ("AYON"). The Company is actively preparing for a commercial launch of AYON with key surgeons in critical geographies starting in the second half of 2025.
AYON is a groundbreaking, surgeon-designed body contouring system that combines precision, versatility, and innovation in an all-in-one platform. It seamlessly integrates fat removal, closed loop contouring, tissue contraction, and electrosurgical capabilities, empowering surgeons to deliver the most comprehensive body contouring treatments for patients. With advanced features like LIFT Technology for real-time adjustments and Renuvion for enhanced tissue contraction, AYON sets a new standard in surgical care, streamlining procedures and maximizing patient outcomes. Backed by Apyx Medical's expertise and evidence-based design, AYON delivers consistent, reliable performance and an unmatched return on investment. As the first of its kind, AYON is revolutionizing body contouring and shaping the future of aesthetic surgery.
This initial 510(k) clearance for AYON covers a wide variety of aesthetic treatments, including Renuvion to address loose and lax skin, ultrasound-assisted liposuction, electrocoagulation to support procedures requiring removal of excess tissue, along with several others. The Company plans to expand the cleared indications for AYON, to include power liposuction, with an additional 510(k) submission later this year.
"Receiving FDA clearance for the AYON Body Contouring System, which includes our proprietary Renuvion technology for the treatment of loose and lax skin, marks a major step forward in our mission to empower surgeons with transformative tools. By uniting multiple technologies into one powerful platform, AYON is designed to streamline procedures, elevate surgical precision, and ultimately deliver better outcomes for patients," said Charlie Goodwin, President, and CEO of Apyx Medical Corporation. "The aesthetics market is expecting a rapid increase in body contouring procedures over the course of the next year, as the more than 15 million patients currently using GLP-1 drugs achieve rapid weight loss and seek solutions for addressing their loose and lax skin and reshaping their new bodies. AYON provides surgeons with all the necessary solutions in one device for meeting the needs of these patients."
