BAUSCH HEALTH'S AESTHETICS BUSINESS, SOLTA MEDICAL, ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF CLEAR + BRILLIANT TOUCH LASER IN CANADA

Bausch Health Companies Inc. and Solta Medical have launched the Clear + Brilliant touch laser in Canada. The device was approved by Health Canada on May 20, 2025, marking an important milestone as demand for non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatments continues to grow across Canada. With this approval, Canadian physicians are able to offer one of the most advanced dual-wavelength laser technologies on the market, expanding access to customizable treatments that align with the country's growing preference for effective yet approachable skin rejuvenation options.

"The Solta business continues to expand its global presence through its diverse and well-established portfolio that supports the growing demand for high-quality aesthetics solutions," said Thomas J. Appio, chief executive officer, Bausch Health. "Canada is an important part of that growth, reflecting strong and sustained interest in the aesthetic market across the country."

Building on the successful United States launch of the Clear + Brilliant touch system in 2021, the device's innovative design allows for seamless use of two hand pieces with unique wavelengths to deliver comprehensive treatments that help reveal smoother, more radiant, youthful-looking skin. The system is suitable for all skin types, a wide range of ages, can be used year-round (at the discretion of the treating physician) and is recognized for its ease of use, minimal downtime, and gentle and effective results.

"Expanding the availability of the Clear + Brilliant touch system into Canada marks a significant step forward for Solta Medical and its commitment to global expansion of our innovative portfolio of products in skin health," said Jiny Kim, senior vice-president, Solta Medical, Bausch Health.
