Botox without needles

Since Botox emerged as a cosmetic treatment in the 1990s, people have been trying to find a way to deliver its wrinkle-eliminating effects without the need for needles.

That dream may soon be achieved.

Botox-maker Allergan has spent $90 million to acquire Anterios, a biotech firm that’s developing a topical formulation of the botulinum toxin.

Anterios specializes in botulinum toxin-based prescription drugs and has developed technology for the delivery of Botox and other neurotoxins through the skin.

You’ll still need the services of a qualified practitioner to administer the cream – botulinum is a nerve toxin and needs to be carefully controlled. But needlephobics will be able to get their Botox dose in the form of a lotion instead of flinching as a tiny needle is poked into their crows’ feet.

Harvard-trained pathologist and dermatologist Dr. Mark Gray deeply understands the science of skin. As the founding Director of the largest provider of skin medical and surgical services in New Zealand, he’s spent the past 20 years listening to his patients struggle with the skincare world’s mixed messages: effective ingredients that are harmful; natural ingredients that don’t deliver results.
