Juvéderm

Like, name one so people can...

So hyaluronic acid fillers are, you know, your Juvederm, your Restylanes, your-

Oh, okay

...

That's how I first got started looking at products that were skin c- skincare routines for facial redness for diseases like rosacea or psoriasis, and then was part of an acquisition to a company called BioForm Medical that was just launching at that time, one of the very first, uh, dermal fillers.

So if you've ever heard of Restylane or Juvederm or, uh, hyaluronic acids, those types of things that people are injecting into their faces to help them, help, help them make look younger, um, restore tissue volume that we'll talk about today, um, I've been doing that now for twenty-five, twenty-five years roughly.

So, um, it's-- what's interesting about this space is there really hasn't been a lot of innovation in the science or the products since these materials were originally introduced in around, you know, two thousand and six timeframe.

So it kind of is old technology.

Um, there are other, uh, products on the market called dermal fillers, and there's really two categories.

One is, um, called hyaluronic acid.

These are products like Juvederm, Restylane.

You know, you, I'm sure your p- your, uh, audience has heard of these before.

Second theme.

So Allergan had a new campaign earlier this year around their Juvederm product called Undetectable Era.

And, you know, I guess it's nothing new, but it's a big focus on natural looking results backed by some research of what patients want and what they're demanding.

So third topic is when the clinic itself is the problem.

It is stimulating collagen over time.

So then people stopped using it and then that's when your hyaluronic acid fillers, so your Juvederm and things that I use these days, were used for so long because it is biodegradable and your body breaks it down.

Okay.

which is great.
