Pending Acquisition of LipoSonix
October 5, 2011
Exhibit 99.1

Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995.  Examples of such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, anticipated
timing of U.S. Food and Drug Administration and European Union clearance of the second generation of the
LIPOSONIX system, projected likelihood and amount of contingent payments and anticipated cost savings,
synergies and other opportunities. Forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations
and are subject to risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results to differ materially from the statements
contained herein. Factors that might cause such a difference include the risk that sales of the LIPOSONIX product
line do not grow (or grow less than anticipated), risks arising in connection with the achievement of applicable
regulatory clearances and risks relating to timing and successful completion of technology and product
development.  Further information on potential risk factors that could affect Solta Medical’s business and its
financial results are detailed in its Form 10-K as effective March 16, 2011 and other reports as filed from time to
time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Solta Medical undertakes no obligation to update
publicly any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date they
were made, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Management has provided non-GAAP gross
profit, non-GAAP operating income (loss), non-GAAP EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP
earnings (loss) per share measures that exclude the impact of purchase price related adjustments, severance
costs, and stock-based compensation expenses, all net of income taxes. The Company believes that these non-
GAAP financial measures provide investors with insight into what is used by management to conduct a more
meaningful and consistent comparison of the Company's ongoing operating results and trends, compared with
historical results. A reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measures and the most
comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP can be found in the Investor Relations
section of the Company’s website (www.solta.com).

Initial Consideration
$15,000,000
Cash payment
FDA Clearance of Gen 2
LipoSonix product
$20,000,000
Payment due upon Gen 2 FDA clearance, assumed end of Q1 2012

Additional Annual
Contingent Payments

Contingent
2
100% of the incremental increase in year-over-year net sales of
transducers related to the LipoSonix product
100% of the incremental increase in year-over-year gross profit on
LipoSonix product systems
Duration of Contingent
Payments
Seven years from U.S. commercialization
LipoSonix Transaction Analysis
(1)  An additional contingent payment of $30 million will be required to be made by Solta following the first year in which net sales/gross profits of LipoSonix products exceed $300
million.
(2)  75% of the Incremental year-over-year net sales and gross profits will be paid to LipoSonix shareholders under the LipoSonix Agreement and under certain circumstances
would be payable to Medicis, and 25% of the Incremental year-over-year net sales and gross profits will be paid to Medicis under the Medicis Agreement.  The definition of
LipoSonix product differs between the two agreements.  In addition to all products covered in the LipoSonix Agreement, the Medicis Agreement’s definition includes all products
that apply HIFU and incorporate LipoSonix technology.

LipoSonix Transaction Analysis (cont.)
In year 1, the contingent payment will represent a significant
percentage of total sales
In year 2, the contingent payment as a percentage of total sales
will likely fall substantially
By year 7, the contingent payment as a percentage of total sales
will likely look more like a royalty payment
Based on our estimates, the aggregate consideration paid will
likely range between 1.5x to 1.0x revenues. The revenue
multiple will approach 1.0x, the better the LipoSonix acquisition
performs.
