The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD)’s annual meeting is the place for skin care companies looking to launch the latest – and hopefully greatest  --- innovations or iterations in skin care products and technologies.

And the 2016 AAD meeting – slated to take place March 4-6, 2016 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C, will prove no exception.

Among scheduled launches:

Lasers, Lights and Energy-based Devices

Sciton is launching Forever Clear BBL, a new application to target active acne and prevent acne scars. This application will be available on BBL^TM BroadBand Light System.

Viora  is rolling out V10, a multi-RF technology platform for body contouring, cellulite reduction, skin tightening, resurfacing and rejuvenation. Another new release from Viora, V-FORM, is a handpiece that is compatible with the V10 for contouring and cellulite reduction.

BTL is planning to launch BTL Exilis ULTRA –a device that combines radiofrequency and ultrasound for body shaping and skin rejuvenation – and BTL Cellutone, which can be used as a stand-alone device or in combination with other aesthetic therapies such as non-invasive fat reduction and tightening treatments with the BTL Vanquish ME.

ZELTIQ will introduce a new generation of CoolSculpting applicators, which cut treatment times and allow for procedures to be performed at lower temperatures.
