Scientific studies
Rigor and science are the driving force
behind our dominance in the market
Our research focuses not only on development, but also on science, that is,
on testing the efficacy, safety and quality of our treatment methods.
We have more than 35 scientific studies completed or underway,
many of which have been published in top medical journals.
