EXPERIENCE WITH EUROPEAN BOTOXAND DERMAL FILLERS WHERE MY PREFERENCES STAND JUNE 25TH, 2011

BOTULINUM TOXIN

• European Brands

• Azzalure ®

• Bocature ®

• Botox ®

• Dysport ®

• Neurobloc ®

• Vistabel ®

• Xeomin ®

AZZALURE ®

Azzalure ®

• Azzalure ®

• Azzalure®, botulinum toxin type A, has been available in the U.K. and Ireland since the early 1990s as the brand name Dysport®, which has licences for various indications in 67 countries worldwide, including the United Kingdom and many European markets.

• It gained approval for cosmetic use in the UK in early 2009 and is marketed for this indication, with dosing specific to treat glabellar (frown) lines,  under the brand name Azzalure®.

• It is manufactured by the French company Ipsen and commercialised by Galderma.

BOCOUTURE ®

Bocouture ®

• BOCOUTURE®, botulinum toxin type A, has been available in the U.K. and Ireland since 2008 as the brand name Xeomin ®, which is licenced in Europe for blepharospasm and cervical dystonia.

• It gained approval for cosmetic use in the UK in July 2010 and is marketed for this indication, with dosing specific to treat glabellar (frown) lines,  under the brand name Bocouture®.

• Bocouture® claims to be an innovative Botulinum type A formulation, in which the complexing proteins have been removed by an extensive purification process from the botulinum toxin complex.

Bocouture ®

• It is widely accepted that the bacterial protein present in other products play a role as promoters of an immune reaction, resulting in a loss of effect and reduction in duration of activity. Studies show that Bocouture®, without the complexing proteins, has the lowest content of protein of all of the available botulinum toxins and furthermore show that repeated application of Bocouture®, even in high doses, does not induce the formation of neutralising anti-bodies.

• This means that Bocouture® is able to provide similar results to those achievable with the other products without the risk of antibody formation, providing continual long lasting effects. This could be relevant when large doses are being used for medical indications, but many industry experts questions the relevance when this product is used for cosmetic purposes.

BOTOX ®

Botox ®

• Currently the number one non-surgical aesthetic treatment in the U.S., Botox® is also the leading brand of botulinum toxin type - A in terms of documented clinical trials and practical use around the world.

• Botox® was the first botulinum toxin to gain a cosmetic licence endorsing its use for glabellar lines and wrinkles. It is approved for this indication in the U.S. and around twelve other countries in the world, and was licenced for this use in the U.K. in March 2006 under the brand name Vistabel ®

DYSPORT ®

Dysport ®

• Dysport ®

• Dysport®, botulinum toxin type A, has been available in the U.K. since the early 1990`s and has licences in 67 countries worldwide including the United Kingdom and many European markets. It is manufactured by the French company Ipsen.

• The product is licensed for cosmetic use in a number of markets e.g. glabellar (frown) lines in Germany.

• It also gained approval for cosmetic use in the UK in early 2009 and is marketed for this indication, with a dosing specific to treat glabellar lines,  under the brand name Azzalure ® by Galderma.

•.

NEUROBLOC ®

Neurobloc ®

• Neurobloc ®

• Neurobloc® became available in the U.K. in 2001.

• There is limited experience in the use of this type of toxin, and the product does not currently have approval for cosmetic use anywhere in the world.

• As a result of this very few U.K. practitioners have any experience in the use of this product for lines and wrinkles.

• Generic name

• Clostridium botulinum type - B neurotoxin complex

Neurobloc ®

• Myobloc® (rimabotulinumtoxinB) Injection is soldin the US and approved in Canada.

• MYOBLOC is also being distributed as NeuroBloc® (Botulinum Toxin Type B) in the EU, Norway and Iceland and as Myobloc®(Botulinum Toxin Type B) Injectable Solution in Korea.

VISTABEL ®

Vistabel ®

• Vistabel ®

• Botox ® was the first botulinum toxin to gain a cosmetic licence endorsing its use for glabellar lines and wrinkles. It was licenced for this use in the U.K. in March 2006.

• It gained approval for cosmetic use in France in early 2003 and is marketed there under the brand name Vistabel®.

• With dosing specific to treat glabellar lines, it is also marketed for cosmetic use in the UK under the brand name Vistabel® and is the first brand of botulinum toxin type A licensed for cosmetic use in the UK.

•

XEOMIN ®

Xeomin ®

• Launched in the UK and Ireland in 2008, Xeomin® is the third botulinum toxin type A to be promoted in the UK. Xeomin® claims to be an innovative Botulinum type A formulation, in which the complexing proteins have been removed by an extensive purification process from the botulinum toxin complex.

• In contrast to the other commercially available preparations, Xeomin® contains the pure 150 kD neurotoxin.

Xeomin ®

• Studies show that Xeomin®, without the complexing proteins, has the lowest content of protein of all of the available botulinum toxins and furthermore show that repeated application of Xeomin®, even in high doses, does not induce the formation of neutralising anti-bodies.

• This means that Xeomin® is able to provide similar results to those achievable with the other products without the risk of antibody formation, providing continual long lasting effects. This could be relevant when large doses are being used for medical indications, but many industry experts questions the relevance when this product is used for cosmetic purposes.

AQUAMID ®

Aquamid ®

• Aquamid™

• This product was launched in the U.K. in 2003.

• Aquamid™ contains about 2 - 3% of cross-linked polyacrylamide gel network and with the remaining part of 97 - 98% being water.

• The molecule is not dissolved in water, but "swollen" like a sponge. The gel is in dynamic equilibrium with the surrounding tissue, but still the polymer retains its ability to hold water and remains elastic over an extended time.

•  

Aquamid ®

• Aquamid™ has been used for aesthetic correction for more than ten years in 30,000 patients in the previous Soviet Union and Europe.

• Polyacrylamides have been used for many years in the United States and Europe for treatment of drinking water, and is also found in soft contact lenses, and tissue implant material.

MY PREFERENCE DYSPORT ®

Atlean ®

• Atlèan™ ßTCP

• French company ABR Development (now part of Stiefel Laboratories Inc.), the pharmacists who invented Sculptra ® launched their new volumising filler product, Atlèan™ βTCP, in the UK and Ireland in June 2007.

• As a result, you may only come across a few practitioners using this product currently.

Atlean ®

• Atlèan™ is a tri-calcium phosphate product in the form of a white gel which the manufacturer claims gives the same volumising and sculpting visual effects as the poly-l-lactic acid based filler, Sculptra™ but without the 4 - 6 week wait to see the benefits. This is due to the fact that

• Atlèan™ also contains hyaluronic acid which gives an immediate visible result, which lasts for up to 3 months, whilst the tri-calcium phosphate helps to stimulate the production of new collagen in the treated area for a longer lasting result.

•  

• What does it contain?

• A 1ml syringe of Atlèan™ contains 70mg of Tri-Calcium Phosphate (TCP), 18mg of hyaluronic acid and 8mg of carmellose sodium (a stabilising agent), within a 1ml of buffered saline solution.

• TCP is bio-compatible (compatible with body tissues), bio-degradable, immunologically inert (i.e. does not effect the immune system) and non-toxic. It has been used in medicine for years, for example, in bone regeneration after fractures.

• The non-animal based hyaluronic acid is derived from bacterial fermentation.

Atlean ®

• The manufacturer claims that the product can help cause new collagen growth rather than just mechanically filling depressions, making it a sculpting agent rather than just a wrinkle filler; although the addition of a recognised wrinkle filling agent (hyaluronic acid) into the product means that patient satisfaction from an immediate visible result is greater.

• What does it contain?

• A 1ml syringe of Atlèan™ contains 70mg of Tri-Calcium Phosphate (TCP), 18mg of hyaluronic acid and 8mg of carmellose sodium (a stabilising agent), within a 1ml of buffered saline solution.

ELLANSE ®

Ellanse ®

• Ellansé is a new and unique non-animal, non-bacterial and non-human derived dermal filler family which are said by the manufacturer to be cost-effective by requiring less product, compared to others, for the same indications.

• The Ellansé family (S, M, L, E) has four distinctive duration formulations to choose from, from 1 to 4 years or more.

• Ellansé is composed of totally smooth polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres (diameter of 25 – 50 μm) suspended in an aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) gel–carrier and is constituted of 30% PCL microspheres suspended in 70% gel carrier.

EMERVEL® RANGE

A complete range of products, with and without lidocaine, well differentiated for specific indications, to provide physicians

the optimal choice to best meet patients needs

NOVABEL ®

Novabel ®

• Novabel® is not a hyaluronic acid based injectable product but is in fact a patented, plant-based or alginate composition from sea algae which it is claimed results in an easier injection with much less swelling, making results more visible.

• An 18 month study has shown excellent safety results according to the company. Early indications are that results should persist for 12 months or more.

• The product will be available through trained UK cosmetic practitioners towards the spring and summer of 2010. Information will be updated at that time.

Novabel ®

• *** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ***

• Sales and marketing of Novabel® temporarily suspended.
