"On Wednesday, Allergan (AGN), the maker of the anti-wrinkle shot Botox, exposed some cracks in its once-flawless public face... It is Botox that essentially measures vanity in our society.
The company reported that sales of Botox, which is used for erasing wrinkles and for medical problems, fell about 3% -- albeit to a still-robust $329 million -- in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to the same quarter in 2007.
Allergan’s sales for breast implants fell 12% and facial fillers dropped 9% based on the same yearly comparison. Physical modesty is more affordable - and may be smarter personal advertising at present." Reported on Minyanville 02/09/09.
Physical modesty, or basic practicality?
