FDA approves AGN’s Ubrelvy (ubrogepant) for acute migraine treatment:

https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-new-treatment-adults-migraine

Ubrelvy may do well in the crowded CGRP arena because it’s oral.

AGN has a second oral CGRP candidate, Atogepant, in development for migraine prevention.

AGN acquired both drugs from MRK in 2015 for what now appears to be a very reasonable price (#msg-115206907).

RF-frequency devices for aesthetic applications go back at least 15 years to a company called Thermage (#msg-3876193). The THRM device never sold well and ended up being a swanky coat hanger at many doctor’s offices (#msg-11593419, #msg-29182011). THRM, which became SLTM, was eventually bought by Valeant Pharmaceuticals (the ultimate roll-up company) in 2013.

THRM’s device used RF-frequency waves to heat cells. I’m unclear how RF can used to cool cells, as AGN’s CoolTone supposedly does.

The Zeltiq device is cryogenic and seems to work according to a couple of relatives that have tried it. The cool tone device is magnetic and not as proprietary. There are already devices on the market such as the one below. I would like to see the data supporting the claim that 1.35T gives better results than 0.9T.

[OT]—I would question the business plan of any company that’s working on cellulite.

What’s differentiating about SOLY as compared to tattoo removal by laser?

RichardSawars RichardSawars 6 years ago
In regards to AGN.. Has anyone heard of SOLY yet? The board of the company was recently involved with a similar company that developed a breakthrough fat reduction therapy that was purchased by AGN for 56$ ps or 2.4B.

$SOLY has patented technology on industry leading tattoo removal (RAP) & they announce their trial results for cellulite removal today.
