FORT WORTH, Texas, [April 4, 2016] – Galderma, a global leader in medical solutions for skin health, and Mentor Worldwide LLC, a global leader in breast aesthetics and reconstruction, today announced a new nationwide collaboration to partner with surgeons to elevate the patient experience across the companies’ innovative aesthetic & corrective brands and offerings. These two world-class organizations are collaborating to redefine what it means to be “partner of choice” for advancing patient outcomes in aesthetic medicines.
Galderma and Mentor will provide a broad offering to healthcare professionals, who have shared patients looking for aesthetic injectable treatments and breast enhancement. Data show up to 33% of women who had injectable treatments also had breast augmentation.1 This collaboration will provide additional value for cosmetic practices by increasing access to a robust range of technologically-advanced and scientifically-proven solutions for facial rejuvenation and breast augmentation.
“Galderma’s facial aesthetic product portfolio includes unique, differentiated offerings that appeal to a broad group of consumers who want to look their best, with natural-looking results. This collaboration with Mentor demonstrates our commitment to being the partner of choice within the aesthetics industry and furthers our goal of providing long-term value to healthcare specialists while broadening consumers’ access to and awareness of their aesthetic treatment options,” said Kelly Huang, PhD, Vice President and General Manager, Aesthetic & Corrective Business Unit, Galderma, U.S.
The collaboration will include Galderma’s aesthetic brands, including the Restylane® family of fillers, Dysport®* (abobotulinumtoxinA) 300 units for Injection and Sculptra® Aesthetic, along with the U.S.-made MENTOR® MemoryShape® and MENTOR® MemoryGel® Breast Implants portfolio, for the U.S. aesthetics (non-reimbursed) market.
Through this uniquely-designed collaboration, the two companies will look for opportunities to leverage market growth strategies to benefit both healthcare providers and consumers. For Galderma, this will include the industry-leading ASPIRE Galderma Rewards loyalty program (www.aspirerewards.com).
“This is an ideal collaboration that will enable me to offer greater value and choice to my patients – many of whom are interested in both breast enhancement and facial rejuvenation – and who trust me to utilize best-in-class aesthetic treatment options like Mentor’s innovative breast implants and Galderma’s aesthetic brands,” said Christopher Saunders, MD, PA, board-certified plastic surgeon in Delaware.
“This alliance is exciting on several fronts – not only does it promise greater value but, because of the professional support and consumer education that Mentor and Galderma are committed to, it assures that we will be supported in achieving and maintaining excellence in our practices of aesthetic medicine,” said Jane Weston, MD, board-certified plastic surgeon in California.
