Topical Botox

If you could buy a youthful appearance would you? Well for many people the answer is a resounding YES! That is why the beauty industry is booming and not slowing down for a minute. Even with a weak economy, facial injectables remain popular. Botox, owned by Allergan and produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinumone, is currently the number one elected cosmetic procedure. With this type of financial following, competition is bound to follow.

First the big buzz was about the Botox rival Dysport getting approval in April 30, 2009. Originally called Reloxin, Dysport has been successful in Europe for many years and the FDA deciding to keep the same European name. Dysport, generically known as Abobotulinum toxin, is rumored to work more quickly, last longer, and be cheaper than Botox. While this may seem like great news for some, others are still weary of needles and are waiting a solution.

The needle free application may be here before we know it. Not available on the market yet, there’s a topical preparation of the botulinum toxin molecule that has been developed to penetrate the skin in a gel-cream base with no needles needed.

Revance's RT001, also known as "Topical Botox" was developed about four years ago.

Patients would still need to see a physician for the application. The gel-cream would be applied to the treatment area and then removed to complete the procedure without injections, discomfort, or bruising. From its’ early testing, RT001 looks very promising especially for treatment of lateral canthal lines (crow's feet) and treating axillary (under arm) hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating). Could this really be "Youth in Jar" or will we all look frozen in time? What ever the answer is, there is no debating that with the advancements' in cosmetic medicine it would appear as if time may be on our side after all.
