The Company also announced that from February through September of 2022 it had received orders from approximately 3,500 cumulative unique medical aesthetics practices. RVL further revised its guidance for net product sales of UPNEEQ for the fourth quarter of 2022, indicating an expectation of $12 to $14 million, representing sequential growth of 20% to 40% compared to the third quarter of 2022.
“We continue to demonstrate UPNEEQ’s potential within the eyecare and medical aesthetics markets. During the third quarter of 2022, we expanded the number of medical aesthetics practices that have purchased UPNEEQ with 59% growth in the number of providers since the end of the second quarter. In addition, we are working diligently to establish UPNEEQ as an integrated part of medical aesthetics practices, which resulted in nearly 1,000 practices having re-purchased UPNEEQ by the end of the third quarter – an indication of the significant potential opportunity in this market,” stated Brian Markison, Chief Executive Officer of RVL.
“With our expanded medical aesthetics salesforce now in place since late July and with the growth we have observed since then, we believe that we are well positioned to achieve 20% to 40% quarterly sequential net product sales growth in the fourth quarter of 2022,” concluded Markison.
