Needham & Company reiterates a 'Buy' on Solta Medical (NASDAQ: SLTM) price target of $5.00.

Needham analyst says, "SLTM continues the general trend observed in our aesthetic technology universe with continued moderate growth as the sector recovers from the depths of the recession. We think continued growth in the disposables is encouraging and the fact that disposable revenue took only a brief small dip due to the recession squares with anecdotal evidence we have gathered regarding overall procedure trends. With the LipoSonix 2G system now approved and the acquisition now closed, we think SLTM has a promising new avenue for growth."

"Changes to our 2012 revenue estimates assume 10% organic growth plus $18 M in revenue from LipoSonix. This higher revenue adds only a penny a share to EPS as we expect LipoSonix to be a drag on margins early in the year, becoming accretive in 4Q12."
