Pittsburgh, PA, March 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PITTSBURGH, Mar. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carmell Corporation (NASDAQ:CTCX, CTCXW)), a bio-aesthetics company (the "Company", "we", "our", or "us"), today announced a comprehensive corporate rebranding initiative aimed at better aligning the Company's market and investor facing image with its business focus and growth strategy.

As part of the rebranding, the Company has changed its corporate name to "Longevity Health Holdings, Inc." and, at the open of trading on March 10, 2025, the Company's common stock and redeemable warrants will begin trading under the symbols "XAGE" and "XAGEW", respectively. The Company has also launched a new corporate logo while branding for existing marketed products shall remain unchanged.

Said Mr. Rajiv Shukla, Chairman & CEO, "Our new name better reflects our business focus on longevity and healthy aging, encompassing not just bio-aesthetics but also future expansion into potential new segments such as diagnostics and nutrition. And it points to our growth strategy based on acquisitions and strategic partnerships in addition to organic growth of our existing business."

In addition to the Company's allogeneic PRP Secretome technology that represents the latest scientific advancement in regenerative bio-aesthetics, the January 2025 acquisition of Elevai Skincare, Inc. ("Elevai") delivered a commercial product pipeline based on their innovative stem cell exosome technology.

Following the Company's acquisition of Elevai, sales grew an average of 34% over the first two months of 2025 (inclusive of both Carmell and Elevai product lines) versus the same period in 2024. And, despite the Company's investment in doubling the physician-focused salesforce and retention of manufacturing staff and facilities, Elevai's burn rate was reduced by more than 50% through savings from cutting redundant overhead expenses.

The Company expects FY25 revenues of $3 to $4 million from its current pipeline of products before any new product launches or additional partnerships and acquisitions.

The Company expects to launch the following new products in the second quarter of 2025:

Hair Growth Serum
Soapless Facial Cleanser
Undereye Crème
VSA Toning Moisturizer (Visible Skin Areas: neck, decollete and arms)

The Company also announced the appointment of Mr. Patrick Sturgeon as Vice Chairman. Mr. Sturgeon has served as a founding team member of the Company since its IPO in 2021, served as its CFO between 2021-2023, and as a Board Director since July 2023.
