CARLSBAD, Calif., April 24 (HSMN NewsFeed) -- SkinMedica, a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing, acquiring and commercializing products that treat dermatologic conditions and diseases and approve the appearance of skin, announced today an agreement with Edge Systems Corporation to promote and deliver to physicians a new product, TNS Serum. TNS Serum leverages the same growth factor technology, NouriCel-MD®, which is used in TNS Recovery Complex®, one of the leading skincare products in the United States sold through physician offices, as well as the other TNS products sold by SkinMedica.The TNS (Tissue Nutrient Solution) product line by SkinMedica, previously available only for home use now includes a new product, TNS Serum, for in-office treatments, and is delivered exclusively through the HydraFacial MD system from Edge Systems. The synergy between the anti-aging properties of TNS and those of the HydraFacial(TM) treatments, both individually proven efficacious in improving the signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots and rough skin, effectively front-loads the results that clients report seeing. A supplementary home-care kit enhances the treatment results between treatments.

HydraFacial MD, the first and only serum-based skin-resurfacing system for the topical delivery of the new TNS Serum, utilizes a specially designed application handpiece to apply TNS Serum. TNS Serum contains NouriCel-MD, a proprietary blend of human growth factors, cytokines, soluble collagen, antioxidants and matrix proteins, discovered through more than a decade of wound-healing research. Both HydraFacial MD and TNS Serum are for medical use only and are available only to physicians.
