Business Wire
Evolus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOLS), a performance beauty company with a
focus on building an aesthetic portfolio of consumer brands, today
announced the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) certification was
received for four unique injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) gels under
the brand name Estyme® (pronounced “esteem”), branded as Evolysse™
in the U.S. market. This certification marks a key regulatory
milestone for Evolus, enabling it to commercially enter the dermal
filler segment and doubling its addressable market outside the U.S.
to $1.8 billion1.
The CE Mark certification, through the new MDR process
represents more stringent requirements, designed to ensure the
safety, efficacy, and quality of medical devices sold in Europe.
Achieving this certification demonstrates that the Estyme®
injectable HA gels meet the highest standards for product design,
production, and performance. Evolus will introduce Estyme® through
a limited experience program with select physician partners. The
limited experience program will allow Evolus to collaborate with
leading aesthetic practitioners across Europe, gathering valuable
insights to refine its broader launch strategy. A broader European
launch is planned for the second half of 2025.
“The MDR CE Mark certification for Estyme®, is a critical
milestone in our strategic path to expand our product portfolio and
reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality gels that adhere
to the most rigorous regulatory standards,” said David Moatazedi,
President and Chief Executive Officer. “With Estyme®, we are
bringing a new level of excellence to the dermal filler category,
as we grow our product portfolio to meet growing consumer demand
for premium, cash-pay aesthetic treatments.”
Dr. Rui Avelar, Chief Medical Officer and Head of R&D,
added, “We are proud that Estyme® has achieved CE Mark
certification under the MDR’s stringent standards, which reflects a
commitment to the highest standards of patient safety and product
efficacy. Estyme® is a differentiated line of injectable HA gels
currently being studied globally and the first innovation
breakthrough, with proprietary cold technology, in a decade. These
gels utilize breakthrough cross-linking technology that better
preserves the natural HA chain, which we believe will help
distinguish it from other products in this category. Designed with
the highest level of precision to meet the needs of both
practitioners and patients, we look forward to seeing its positive
impact on the European aesthetic market.”
The company remains on track for the U.S. approval and launch of
the Evolysse™ injectable HA gels beginning in 2025.
