Recent Financial and Operating Highlights:
- Reported total revenue of
$12.9 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to$11.5 million in the comparable period last year.- Surgical Aesthetics revenue increased to
$11.1 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to$9.3 million in the third quarter of 2024 and increased over30% in the U.S. - OEM revenue was approximately

96% , to$0.1 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared with$2.4 million for the third quarter of 2024. - Launched commercial sales of AYON across the U.S. in September 2025; with customer demand exceeding expectations. AYON, which received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in May 2025, is an all-in-one system that integrates advanced modalities to perform multiple functions seamlessly, removing unwanted fat, enhancing tissue contraction and addressing the full range of patient needs from contouring to aesthetic enhancement.
- Submitted a new 510(k) premarket notification to the FDA in October 2025 for the label expansion of the AYON to include power liposuction. Pending regulatory clearance, surgeons will be able to address every aspect of contouring within one platform, streamlining workflow, and potentially enhancing outcomes, and AYON will be positioned as the new gold standard in surgical aesthetics.

“In September, we successfully transitioned the commercialization program for AYON from an effective soft launch targeting key regions to a full U.S. program. Initial feedback from leading board-certified plastic and cosmetic surgeons continues to be overwhelmingly positive, with several of them contributing at workshops and clinical symposia that drove strong engagement and resulted in pre-orders for the AYON. While we are still in the early stages of ramping up the broader commercial program, I am excited to announce that we reported a
“Looking ahead, we plan to continue accelerating the adoption of AYON and expanding its user base, which will drive single-use handpiece sales growth. Anticipated demand will be driven, in part, by the pending FDA clearance of the 510(k) premarket notification submitted last month for the label expansion of the AYON to include power liposuction. Upon receiving this market clearance, we will be able to activate this new functionality in the AYON systems already installed at surgical centers across the U.S. through the ongoing commercial launch,” concluded Mr. Goodwin.
