HOW “CHOCOLATE”
MAKES YOU
LOOK YOUNGER
By: Andrea Strauss, M.D. F.A.C.S.
The internet is awash with news
about the pharmaceutical indus-
try. Allergan – the makers of
Botox and breast implants
merged with Actavis in Ireland
and then Pfizer in a scheme to
avoid paying US taxes. Turing
CEO Martin Shkreli (the man
who raised a lifesaving drug
price 5000%) was arrested on
securities
fraud
charges.
Valeant CEO J. Michael Pearson
went on medical leave to avoid
testifying about drug price fixing
and allegations of accounting
fraud.
But above the scandal shines
one bright light. Galderma – an
innovative international compa-
ny specializing in skin care (par-
ent company Nestle – hence the
chocolate), recently entered the
aesthetic field. They now offer
products for facial rejuvenation
with a wider selection and at
dramatically lower prices. Soon
you will see ads for Dysport
®
(equivalent to Botox
®
), Resty-
lane
®
(same as Juvederm
®
) and
Sculptra
®
Aesthetic, a few of the
Galderma products.
Galderma also has a patient
loyalty program. Each treat-
ment with one of the above
products earns you points
which can be redeemed for
money off your next treatment
or other perks. Joining is free
(go to ASPIRErewards.com to
enroll) and makes you eligible to
participate in their limited spe-
cial programs. Their current pro-
motion involves Sculptra
®
Aes-
thetic which is a collagen stimu-
lator used to treat the global
effects of facial aging (flattening
of the cheeks, hollows under
the eyes, deepening of the
“parentheses” and marionette
lines as well as jowls). Sculptra
®
Aesthetic can be classified as a
semi-permanent product and
has been dubbed by some “the
liquid facelift.” It can also be
used to treat aging of the hands.
When injected under the skin,
Sculptra
®
Aesthetic stimulates
the body to ramp up collagen
production for increased volume
and a more youthful appear-
ance. Full correction of volume
loss requires a series of injections
(usually 3-4 treatments) spaced
over several months. In an
unprecedented special, Galder-
ma is offering a limited number
of patients undergoing a course
of Sculptra
®
Aesthetic from a
select group of doctors between
February 1, 2016 and September
30, 2016, a discount of $150 off
the first treatment, $175 off the
second treatment and $200 off
the third treatment.

this product go to Sculptra

ciates at 908-725-4600.
Dr. Strauss is Board Certified by
the American Board of Plastic
Surgery. She is on staff at Robert
Wood Johnson University Hospi-
tal Somerset and CARES Surgi-
center and has a private practice
at 11 Monroe Street in Bridge-
water, New Jersey.
