\"Botox<\/a>A bio-pharmaceutical company in California is exploring a \u201cno-needle\u201d Botox<\/a> product that could be applied to the skin in cream form like a lotion, reports WCBS-TV in New York City<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Revance Therapeutics<\/a> says that it will be two years before clinical trials of the product\u2014called RT001\u2014are complete. Then it will be up to the FDA to decide whether to approve the drug, which is being tested for use on crow\u2019s feet. Patients in the early trials tended to see a moderate reduction in wrinkles around their eyes after using the product for a month.<\/p>\n

Safety is a major concern for some of the doctors who have heard of the product.<\/p>\n

Dr. David Colbert, a New York City dermatologist, told WCBS-TV that he worries that a Botox lotion would be so popular that black market versions would be sold online without oversight and that the potential muscle paralyzing effects could be dangerous.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s a brilliant idea, but I\u2019m more concerned about the welfare of people who would use it irresponsibly,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Revance\u2019s website says that \u201cWe believe that we can significantly expand the market by providing an attractive alternative to the current treatment options.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Scott Newman, a plastic surgeon in Manhattan agrees, comparing it to the \u201choly grail.\u201d He says the potential benefit is worth the risk. \u201cIf you can get a wonderful result with less downside, why wouldn\u2019t that be an attractive option?\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Anthony Youn, a plastic surgeon in Michigan, sees a lot of potential in such a product. He writes on his website: \u201cI think a huge application of this topical botulinum toxin is in sweat reduction. Could you imagine an antiperspirant stick with this product that lasts several months with each application and leaves no residue? I\u2019d buy it!\u201d<\/p>\n
