Independent dermatology research experts at Monasterium Laboratory GmbH will test, analyze and validate various injection parameters using donated human tissue
VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA – 11 November 2021 – RepliCel Life Sciences Inc. (OTCPK: REPCF) (TSXV: RP) (FRA:P6P2) (“RepliCel” or the “Company”), a company developing next-generation technologies in aesthetics and orthopedics, announced today it has shipped DermaPreciseTM Injector prototypes and consumables to an independent laboratory in Germany to conduct validation studies of injection parameters in various types of donated human skin tissue*.
“The design of the DermaPreciseTM system is intended to deliver a high level of control and consistent precision over dermal and subcutaneous injections,” stated R. Lee Buckler, President and CEO of RepliCel Life Sciences, which developed and owns all rights to the DermaPreciseTM product portfolio and its underlying technologies. “As we continue to prepare for commercial launch of the DermaPreciseTM product line, it is critical we have independent validation of the injection parameters and our ability to deliver best-in-class precision to our end users. Testing with donated human skin samples is a valuable tool in convincing clinicians to evaluate new technologies in real clinical treatment settings.”
“As clinicians learn more about the mechanisms and effects of the various types of substances we inject into the dermis and subcutaneous tissue – including neurotoxins, fillers, antibody therapeutics, fat-dissolving enzymes, cell therapies, and other injectables – we are increasingly realizing that precision of depth, dose and/or delivery matters more to efficacy than was often originally believed,” stated dermatologist and clinical researcher Dr. Rolf Hoffmann who has been a clinical advisor on the DermaPrecise™ development.
The pre-clinical simulation testing to be conducted at Monasterium Laboratory Skin & Hair Research Solutions GmbH in Münster Germany, will include testing a wide array of injection depths in various skin tissues to demonstrate the achieved depth and biodistribution of injected substances by way of histological and imaging analysis.

Trademark registrations kickoff pre-commercial planning
VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA – 28 October 2021 – RepliCel Life Sciences Inc. (OTCPK: REPCF) (TSXV: RP) (FRA:P6P2) (“RepliCel” or the “Company”), a company developing next-generation technologies in aesthetics and orthopedics, announced today the DermaPrecise trademark for its dermal injector product portfolio.
“The DermaPrecise Injector is an electronic injection system which will bring new levels of control over any injection into the dermal and subcutaneous layers for which precision of depth, dose and/or delivery matters, “ states dermatologist and clinical researcher Dr. Rolf Hoffmann who has been a clinical advisor on the injector’s development.
Immediate high-value medical applications being explored for the DermaPrecise Injector are for dermal and subcutaneous delivery of cell and gene therapies, antibody therapeutics, toxins, and certain medical dermatology applications.
Aesthetic applications for the DermaPrecise Injector will include the injection of enzymes for fat dissolution, platelet rich plasma (PRP) for skin and hair applications, fat transfers, and certain applications of toxins and dermal fillers where there is a need to minimize injection pain and/or ensure broad, even dispersion of product as broadly as possible.
“RepliCel is very proud of the DermaPrecise injection product line which promises not only a high-level of electronic precision with control over pre-fixed depths and dose but a cooling system to numb the skin’s sensitivity immediately prior to injection and, for those holding the injector, a simple push-button rather than a plunger,” stated the company’s President and CEO, R. Lee Buckler.
The DermaPrecise injection system is supplied with single-use cartridges and multi-needle heads for use with injectables of varying viscosity including highly viscose products such as some of the newer crosslinked hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers and antibody therapeutics.
RepliCel initially developed the DermaPrecise injection system to ensure optimized, precise, and consistent delivery of its cell-based regenerative medicine products in development to reverse hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia and to regenerate the extracellular matrix under aging skin. For the rapidly growing cell and gene therapy industry, injection-related shear force can threaten to burst cells during the delivery process thus obviating the product’s effectiveness. In the coming weeks, RepliCel intends publish data demonstrating the superiority of the DermaPrecise Injector, over traditional methodologies, for the delivery of cells into the skin and subcutaneous layer.
About the DermaPrecise Injector Product Line
The DermaPrecise Injector Product Line is comprised of a desktop touchscreen control unit wired to a handheld electronic injector wand with a push-button trigger rather than a manual plunger. In addition to offering unparalleled electronic control and consistency of injection depth and dose, the injector includes a cooling element intended to cool the skin to minimize sensation prior to injection. The proprietary consumables include two different multi-needle heads, syringe cartridges, and liners.
RepliCel management and advisors have engaged key clinical opinion leaders on the identification of high-value market applications for the device including the injection of various substances into the dermal and subcutaneous layers. Such substances include toxins, dermal fillers, drugs, biologics, PRP, fat, and cells. Potential uses for the devices include injections to treat hair loss, hyperhidrosis, migraines, skin aging/damage, skin pigmentation, and wounds, as well as cosmetic procedures such as skin rejuvenation, aesthetic sculpting, and reduction of fine wrinkles.
Commercial, clinical-grade units of the consumables and injector are now in production and testing for the purpose of gathering all necessary data to complete the submission to regulatory agencies seeking marketing approval. Plans are actively underway to pursue regulatory approvals for market launch initially in the United States, Europe, Hong Kong, and Japan to be followed by other markets globally.

RepliCel Life Sciences Retains Dermatology Sales and Marketing Executive to Guide the Global Commercial Strategy for its Automated Dermal Injector
Management strengthens its commitment to a successful upcoming market launch of RepliCel’s dermal injector and consumables product line by addition of Damien King
VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA – August 29, 2019 – RepliCel Life Sciences Inc. (OTCQB: REPCF) (TSXV: RP) (FRA:P6P2) (“RepliCel” or the “Company”), a company developing next-generation technologies in aesthetics and orthopedics, announces it has retained the services of Damien King, an aesthetic dermatology product specialist and former executive in several top-tier companies, to help build out the global commercial strategy for the Company’s automated dermal injector, RCI-02, and related consumables (the “RCI-02 Product Line”). RepliCel’s RCI-02 Product Line is expected to market launch next year in Europe and Hong Kong after receiving CE marketing approval in the first half of 2020.
Mr. King has more than 20 years of in-depth experience in the sales and marketing of pharmaceutical, biologic, and medical device products for some of the world’s largest life science companies. Most recently he was a Director of Sales and Franchise Development for Merz Pharmaceuticals with past experience including roles with Allergan, Purdue and Eli Lilly. Mr. King holds a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Business Administration from Cornell University. He currently sits on the Board of Directors for Aequus Pharmaceuticals and has recently launched Avari Medical to distribute emerging and innovative products in the aesthetic and dermatology sector to select markets. “Bringing Damien King on board along with his extensive consulting network of leading dermatology experts in clinical affairs, regulatory compliance, sales and marketing, and business analysis,” stated RepliCel President & CEO, R. Lee Buckler, “is a perfect complement to our existing team of experts including our Chief Medical Officer and practicing medical dermatologist, Dr. Rolf Hoffmann, our Head of Clinical and Regulatory Affairs, Dr. Petra Goessens-Rueck, and our medical device engineering partner, the Agency for Medical Innovations.”
“With the anticipated marketing approval of the products in RepliCel’s RCI-02 Product Line in the first half of next year, RepliCel management is currently heavily engaged in developing its global commercial strategy. Mr. King and team have been retained to provide critical insights and advice on all aspects of the business modelling and its execution including the targeted clinical applications, pricing, marketing, key opinion leader engagement, and sales and distribution,” Buckler summarized.
About the RCI-02 Product Line
RepliCel’s RCI-02 injector was designed with input from dermatologists, industrial designers, and electronic and medical device engineers to improve the delivery of a variety of injectables in a controlled, precise manner, removing the risks and uncertainties of injection outcomes currently resulting from manually operated, single-needle syringes.
The RCI-02 Product Line is now in the final stages of development with final prototypes expected within the next few weeks after which the Company will transition to product manufacture, testing, and regulatory marketing approval. Upon successful delivery and assessment of the final device prototypes, a first production run of commercial-grade units of the RCI-02 injector and related consumables will be manufactured later this year to be used for both functional testing and clinical safety evaluation.
RCI-02 dermal injector is the world’s first motorized injection device with programmable depth and volume, a built-in Peltier element for pre-injection numbing of the skin and interchangeable needle head configurations. It is designed to deliver a variety of injectable substances, including cells, dermal fillers, drugs or biologics intradermally (dermis) and subcutaneously (fat) via an array of needle configurations, starting with a 16-needle configuration (4×4) on one head. This needle head will be used to perform a variety of procedures, increase surface area coverage and speed-up procedure times.
RCI-02 automates and simplifies the injection process. Equipped with a touch screen on its accompanying docking station, the device’s programmability allows for the delivery of precise quantities of material, at specific depths, through fine-gauge needles, on a single plain or trailing through multi-plains, as the needle retracts through the skin.
Overall benefits of this next-generation dermal injector technology are anticipated to include improved handling, reduction or elimination of the need for pre-injection local anesthetic, quicker procedure times, improved patient experience, and a significant expansion of the areas that can be addressed with dermal fillers due to the ability to conduct broad, shallow and evenly-dispersed injections.
The Company anticipates marketing approval to launch sales of the initial RCI-02 Product Line next year. Management is committed to being fully prepared for market launch in Europe and Hong Kong in 2020 as it continues to plan for further product line innovation and pursue marketing approvals in the United States, Asia, and other key global markets.
