Rosacea
Rosacea is a common, chronic condition of the skin that is estimated to affect over 16 million people in the United States and over 45 million people worldwide.
Actinic Purpura
Actinic Purpura ('solar' or 'Bateman's' Purpura), a condition of easy bruising of the skin in chronically sun-exposed areas (usually the forearms, back of the hands, legs), is a significant cosmetic concern for many older adults.
We are pursuing indications which include the treatment and prevention of a number of medical and cosmetic conditions including Actinic (Solar) Purpura and peri-procedural bruising of the skin.
