Photojam

Advanced Aesthetic Technologies Inc. is transforming the global aesthetic medical device market with its 100% natural Algeness® dermal filler, the culmination of 10 years of scientific and clinical research.

Introducing Algeness®

A Breakthrough in All-Natural Dermal Filler Technology

A 100% natural, biodegradable, and moldable solution is now available for correcting wrinkles. Made from a highly purified agarose gel, Algeness® is an injectable implant that provides immediate volumizing to the face, for a younger appearance. Safe and chemical free, Algeness® is fulfilling the expectations of even the most demanding practitioners.

“It’s giving you a very nice and natural tissue and the result is really fantastic. You have nearly no side effects and the result is lasting very long, longer than HA (Hyaluronic Acid).”
Dr. Arna Shab
Dermatologist, Germany

The Problem

As we age, we lose the volume in our face that makes our skin look soft and youthful. Dermal fillers, which can temporarily erase lines and wrinkles, are increasingly popular. However, all dermal fillers are not the same; competing products, such as Hyaluronic Acid (HA), contain chemicals that can cause harmful side effects. This is why both patients and the medical community have been searching for a more natural solution.

Algeness®: The Anti-Aging Solution

Created by Advanced Aesthetics Technologies, Algeness® fulfills patients’ demands for better and safer products to enhance and improve their appearance and sense of well-being. Our product is a 100% natural, biodegradable, and injectable gel implant—the culmination of 10 years of scientific and clinical research. We have received government approvals in the EU and elsewhere, and Algeness® is now being used to treat patients in 27 countries across Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.

Algeness®: Competitive Advantages

  • 100% biodegradable, fully biocompatible and non-allergenic, offering excellent tolerability for patients, with minimal irritation
  • Free of solvents and synthetic chemicals
  • Volumizing effects immediately visible, allowing medical practitioners and patients to evaluate the result of the injection immediately after the procedure, compared to the 2-4 weeks required to see the final results of Hyaluronic Acid fillers
  • Exhibits low level of migration - the product stays where it has been injected
  • Typically requires only one visit, compared to multiple visits required for competing fillers
  • Long lasting results of over 12 months, proven by clinical studies
“Natural, pure, longer-lasting, clean, holds the shape, fully hydrated, what you see is what you get.”
- Dr. Brian Kinney
Plastic Surgeon, USA

Algeness®: Patented Manufacturing Process

Algeness® is a biomaterial, a highly purified agarose gel, produced from a sophisticated, patented manufacturing process. The gel is derived from the purification and separation of agar-agar, which is processed from red algae.

Algeness® Platform Products

Algeness® is formulated in four injectable concentrations that provide differing levels of volumizing. The Algeness® platform products can create cosmetic improvements of the lips, fine lines, and the folds around the mouth for shaping and volumizing the cheeks, jawline, and other areas.

Master Your Results™ Training Program for Physicians

In order to deliver consistent outcomes for patients, AAT created its Master Your Results™ training program for medical practitioners. All Algeness® practitioners are required to achieve certification in this program. The program covers Algeness® injectable implant technology through live, hands-on workshops. Over 600 plastic surgeons in 27 countries have been trained and certified through Master Your Results; the number of certified plastic surgeons is projected to reach 1000 by the end of the year.

Intellectual Property

AAT holds three issued patents and 11 pending, with claims on composition and methods related to the Algeness® platform products as well as a registered trademark in the Algeness® mark. Several of these patents are subject to exclusive license agreements for our next-generation of products. We have filed 6 patents based on this technology, with claims related to gel implants, absorbable sutures, scaffolding, and active fillers. AAT also has 4 patents pending in the U.S. and internationally with respect to other technology that has been developed by the company.

Market Opportunity

Global Dermal Filler Market is Growing

According to Market Research Future, the global dermal fillers market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 12.5% over the next five years, and is expected to reach $10 billion by 2023.

Market Size

Worldwide, 7-8 million filler procedures are performed annually by plastic surgeons, dermatologists and other practitioners. In the U.S. alone, plastic surgeons performed nearly 3.5 million Hyaluronic Acid filler procedures in 2016, representing over 25% of the non-surgical procedures performed by these surgeons (2016 International Study of Cosmetic Surgery, International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery).

100% Natural Algeness® is the Next-Generation Technology

Two major brands of Hyaluronic Acid fillers dominate the current dermal filler market. Critically, no competitor has a next-generation formulary that resolves the known complications of Hyaluronic Acid fillers. 100% natural Algeness® is the next-generation technology; competitors may not be able to adequately protect their franchises as consumers seek more natural fillers that produce immediate, stable results.

Other Potential Markets

AAT is also exploring the use of the Algeness® injectable gel implant platform in other anatomical areas of the body. In preliminary controlled studies, practitioners have reported encouraging outcomes in the non-surgical therapeutic areas of rhinoplasty and hand volumizing. While research and development with respect to additional medical applications of the Algeness® platform is at an early, exploratory stage, there is promising anecdotal evidence for potential use of Algeness® for body filling, active fillers, wound treatment, and absorbable suture applications.

Business Model

AAT sells pre-filled double syringe packs to the company’s network of authorized country distributors with gross margins in excess of 65%. The Company’s distributors then sell the products to practitioners who have been certified under the Master Your Results program at a markup. Distributors have exclusive sales in their respective countries and undertake the promotion of Algeness®, including organizing Master Your Results training sessions and live workshops and participating in local and regional exhibitions, conferences, and congresses. Distributors earn a margin on products sold to practitioners.

Under an exclusive license and manufacturing agreement, Algeness® is manufactured by Ghimas, an ISO-certified medical device manufacturer in Bologna, Italy. Finished products are shipped to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Algeness-Europe LTD, based in Dublin, Ireland. Algeness-Europe LTD then sells and ships the products to the company’s distributors.

Projected Growth of AAT Distribution Network Through 2020

Success to Date

  • AAT generated revenues of more than $300,000 in 2017, up 58% from the previous year.
  • AAT has successfully completed Series A and B rounds, raising $5M.
  • AAT currently operates in 27 countries in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with an additional 16 countries in registration.
  • In December 2017, the Company signed a registration and distribution agreement with Nanjing Ouyi Medical Device Ltd (“Nanjing Ouyi”), located in Nanjing, China. Nanjing Ouyi is funding initial studies required to obtain regulatory clearance for the distribution of our products in mainland China. Once regulatory clearance is obtained, Nanjing Ouyi will have exclusive distribution rights in mainland China, subject to certain financial and other performance requirements.
  • Algeness® received the CE Mark Certification for the European Economic Area (EEA) signifying that this medical device has met the high safety, health, and environmental protection requirements set by the EEA.
  • AAT has started two post-market comparative studies in Europe designed to meet certain industry regulatory standards that are recognized by the FDA.
  • Algeness® was recognized for its break-through innovation in dermal fillers at the 10th Anti-Aging Medicine Congress in Bucharest, Romania in 2018.
