June 2009 — Present (2 months)

Envy’s mission is to offer highly effective noninvasive skin rejuvenation therapies for patients suffering from either dermatologic or aesthetic conditions. The Company's lead products include SilkPeel™, a breakthrough system that combines precision non-invasive exfoliation with Dermalinfusion™, deep delivery of a diverse set of skin-specific solutions, to improve and revitalize the skin.

The Company also owns exclusive rights to Lumixyl™. Developed by Dr. Basil Hantash’s team of dermatological researchers out of Stanford University, this ground-breaking technology is the only peptide clinically shown to significantly brighten skin, and address hyperpigmentation. Recent studies show that Lumixyl™, a chain of ten amino acids, treats hyperpigmentation more efficaciously than hydroquinone - the most commonly prescribed medication for the treatment of hyperpigmentation.

Envy is currently developing a rich portfolio of products and services around these exciting proprietary technologies.
