CHICAGO, June 5 (Reuters) - Allergan Inc., maker of the Botox wrinkle
treatment, on Monday said U.S. regulators approved its new dermal
filler treatment, Juvederm, targeting the folds alongside the nose
and mouth.
Allergan said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
had approved Juvederm, which contains the highest concentration
of nonanimal and cross-linked hyaluronic acid of any dermal filler
currently available.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural complex sugar found in
all living organisms. Treatments with Juvederm last up to six months
or longer in most patients, Allergan said.
Juvederm, which adds volume to the folds running from
the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, is expected to
boost sales in Allergan's wrinkle treatment line as top-selling
cosmetic procedure Botox faces increased competition.
Botox, which works differently, relaxes the dominant
frown muscles between the eyebrows.
Juvederm will compete against market-leading dermal
filler Restylane from Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp.
"Based on our discussions with leading cosmetic
surgeons/dermatologists, we believe that because of its longer duration,
Juvederm is likely to be a better product versus Medicis' Restylane,"
said Bank of America analyst David Maris, who rates Allergan stock
a "buy" and whose firm has done banking for the company.
CIBC World Markets analyst John Calcagnini said that,
with Juvederm's approval, Allergan will gain a broader product line
to treat a wider range of wrinkle types than Medicis, which will
help Allergan take market share.
Irvine, California-based Allergan acquired Juvederm
as part of its $3.2 billion purchase of breast-implant maker Inamed
Corp., which it completed in March after defeating Medicis in a
takeover battle.
