Solta Medical to Showcase New Fraxel re:store Dual Laser at TPC Stonebrae

Solta Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: SLTM), a global leader in the medical aesthetics market and maker of the industry's three premier brands: Thermage®, Fraxel®, and Isolaz®, today announced its association as a sponsor of professional golf's Fresh Express Classic™ at TPC Stonebrae.

A Nationwide Tour™ event, the Fresh Express Classic will be held from April 12 through April 18, 2010, at one of the best new golf courses in the U.S., with breathtaking views of the San Francisco Bay.  The tournament will include a series of events for fans and families including a celebrity pro-am led by Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice, who also serves as the official Tournament Host for the Fresh Express Classic.  All four rounds of competition will be televised on the Golf Channel.

In addition to watching Bay Area legendary athletes and the Nationwide Tour's array of world-class golfers, fans and participants will be treated to on-site skin consultations courtesy of Solta Medical and its partner physicians.  Thermage, Fraxel and Isolaz provide consumers with safe and effective ways to treat a range of skin conditions including sun damage and skin laxity.  At the event, Solta Medical will showcase the new Fraxel re:store Dual laser for skin resurfacing and treating Actinic Keratoses (AK) – a precancerous skin condition caused by sun exposure. The Solta team will be on-site at the Fresh Express Classic beginning Tuesday, April 13 through Sunday, April 18 providing educational materials and consultations at a mobile treatment facility.

In addition to offering skin education during the tournament, Solta Medical will team up with Nationwide Tour professional Kyle Reifers during the Fresh Express Classic to help spread the word about the importance of skin protection.  Kyle, 26, who has one victory on the Nationwide Tour, will kick off the event with a skin evaluation of his own. "As a professional golfer, sun exposure comes with the territory," Reifers stated.  "Teaming up with the experts at Solta, I have learned helpful techniques to protect my skin while I'm out on the course."

"Solta Medical is proud to join Fresh Express in sponsoring the Nationwide Tour stop in the San Francisco Bay area," said Stephen J. Fanning, Chairman of the Board, President & CEO of Solta Medical.  "Our latest innovation, the Fraxel re:store Dual laser system, is the most advanced, non-invasive treatment for sun damaged skin, including AKs that can be a concern for active golfers."
