International revenue expanded by 28% during the second quarter of 2012, compared to the same period in 2011. This revenue improvement was driven primarily by:

Our extensive research and unique energy delivery technology enables this product to achieve efficacious clinical outcomes, while minimizing patient discomfort. We are excited to be entering this aesthetic category and believe this will contribute to our revenue growth in the future."
