GLG NewsSM Analyses by Robert Frank(?)
As insurance reimbursements decline, everyone suddenly thinks they're a cosmetic surgeon.
Juvista appears to be effective in improving scar quality according to recently released Phase II results. Renovo reported no clinical improvement in breast augmentation scars treated with a single injection of the drug.
Botox from Allergan has enjoyed an exclusive monopoly for the past nine years. Alternative drugs do not appear to be available as soon as was hoped.
Changes in the credit market, specifically the subprime market, may impact companies clamoring to finance elective healthcare and cosmetic procedures. This may impact the number of patients ultimately undergoing these expensive procedures.
