Pioneering cell-specificity
The CellFX System introduces a multi-application, software-based platform for difficult-to-treat benign lesions such as sebaceous hyperplasia, cutaneous, non-genital warts and seborrheic keratosis. It is the first and only system to use NPS technology that uniquely works at the cellular level where the lesions reside. This non-thermal procedure is easy and effective, clearing unwanted lesions while minimizing risk of scarring for a satisfying patient outcome.1-4
A range of treatment tips to fit a variety of needs
Each single-patient–use treatment tip has a pre-set range of treatment levels designed to accommodate different lesion types and sizes.
The difference is NPS technology
The patented NPS technology behind the CellFX System delivers ultrafast energy pulses to non-thermally clear cells while sparing adjacent non-cellular tissue. The delivery of NPS energy causes the cells to begin a natural, delayed process of Regulated Cell Death (RCD). With NPS energy, the cells in the treated area are gently cleared through the body’s normal metabolic processes, similar to how other non-viable cells are cleared. The clearing of cells promotes re-epithelialization, causes minimal dermal inflammation and scarring, and stimulates a natural healing process.1-4
Cell-specific
Affects cells and only cells, addressing the problem from the cellular root. Surrounding non-cellular dermal tissue remains undamaged.1-4
Unique margin control
Reaches cellular lesions at any depth within the treatment area, with no effect on the healthy non-cellular dermal foundation of the skin.1-4
Non-thermal
Promotes natural, gradual healing by preventing the collateral damage from traditional methods such as freezing, burning or chemical application.1-4
While a benign lesion appears at the surface of the skin, most cells of a lesion extend underneath the surface into the layers of the dermis and can reside at unknown depths.

The NPS effect
The unique mechanism of action initiates a cascade of events within affected cells. Microscopic analysis demonstrates that NPS technology non-thermally stimulates a delayed cell death, resulting in a less traumatic inflammatory response than thermal technologies such as extreme heat or cold.1-4

Expert perspectives
“We see a lot of aesthetic patients with common benign lesions already visiting the practice. These patients report a ‘burden of disease’ that includes feeling embarrassed or self-conscious about the way their lesions appear as well as being
uncomfortable to the touch. It’s not surprising, then, that these patients are highly motivated to try a new treatment option that offers an excellent outcome, on par with their popular aesthetic procedures like fillers and toxins.”

“NPS technology is an entirely new and different energy modality, and the science behind it is fascinating. Its unique non-thermal mechanism of action directly affects only the cell without acting on surrounding non-cellular dermis. This cellular-specific characteristic provides more precise cellular lesion targeting
typically unattainable with other methods.”
– Dr. George Hruza, Laser & Dermatology Surgery Center,
St. Louis, MO
“We’re looking at Nano-Pulse Stimulation technology for all sorts of nuisance dermatoses – we have technologies that work, but none of them work that well. That would include macular seborrheic keratoses, non-genital warts, sebaceous hyperplasia, seborrheic keratoses that are not flat as well and even for acne and other applications.”
