The FDA has approved another wrinkle filler, and the Wall Street Journal (subscription required) reports that it has touched off competing claims from makers of other wrinkle fillers.
An exec of the new product's company says his product "will cost a patient roughly $850 a year versus $2,400 for comparable enhancement" with another product.
I hope for two things regarding this story:
1. My insurance company doesn't cover these "treatments."
2. There is no one in my insurance pool who asks for or pursues these "treatments."
I will not smile if my premiums go up because lots of people ask for these products (or lots of doctors recommend them) to "temporarily correct smile lines." Maybe a frown is appropriate in this case.
