Respondents indicated on a six-point scale how bothered they were by the appearance of 16 facial features. Subjects were also asked if they presently have an aesthetic healthcare provider (dermatologist or plastic surgeon), what signs of facial aging they would be comfortable speaking with their physician about and what aesthetic procedures they have heard of or tried. The participants were also asked to identify their reasons why they would or would not consider an injectable treatment.

We have worked diligently to fulfill demand by new patients, we have commenced shipping upgrades to existing patients and we expect to complete the upgrade cycle before the end of 2015. There has been some noise in the marketplace recently suggesting that certain payers are seeking to delay payment for CGM, and while we have always stated that payers can be challenging from time to time, we could not deliver a record quarter in terms revenues without meaningful contribution from all major payers.”
