Venus Concept (NASDAQ:VERO) stock is rocketing higher on Wednesday following approval for its fractional skin resurfacing technology.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has signed off on the company’s surgical robotic technology platform called AI.ME. It makes use of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, as well as a smart array of micro-coring hollow punches, to handle fractional skin resurfacing.

According to Venus Concept, the 510(k) clearance from the FDA puts it one step closer to the commercialization of AI.ME in the U.S. This has it expecting its first physician partners to make use of AI.ME starting sometime next year.

Girish Munavalli, MD, MHS, an advisor to Venus Concept, said the following about the news:

“This new technology may become a real game-changer in the area of medical aesthetics, offering a new level of consistency, predictability, and visualization which will differentiate it from existing energy-based solutions. We had the privilege to participate in the early clinical studies of AI.ME and it is clear that the advancements that its robotic technology presents to our practice can go far beyond fractional skin resurfacing.”
