3318 New treatment for wrinkles approved by FDA

Possibly you were too busy over the holidays developing wrinkles and frown lines while buying gifts for the in-laws and anticipating those January bills to notice that the FDA has approved a new treatment for those deep lines--something that lasts longer than Botox and Restylane. It's called Radiesse and is produced by BioForm Medical Inc.

And if you don't care about lines and wrinkles, you might use it to plump your retirement portfolio (while it flattens your wallet). Sales are expected to rise 15% annually through 2010--just 3 years away-- to $935 million.
