Clinical study reveals patients using Condition & Enhance™ in
conjunction with BOTOX®
treatments achieved an 86 percent overall improvement in facial
appearance vs. 8 percent who used a standard skincare regimen with
BOTOX®
Obagi Medical Products, Inc. (Nasdaq: OMPI), a leader in topical
aesthetic and therapeutic skin health systems, today announced positive
study results at the American Academy of Dermatology’s (AAD) Summer
Academy Meeting in Boston, Mass., showing that the use of its Condition
& Enhance System, when combined with Botulinum Toxin Type A treatments
(BOTOX®), provides greater improvement in overall facial
appearance, as well as increased patient satisfaction, vs. BOTOX
treatments with placebo.
“I regularly have patients come in and ask for BOTOX or other
aesthetic procedures, but they have aged skin that doesn’t always look
markedly improved with injectables alone. This data clearly highlights
the fact that by adding Condition & Enhance to an injectable patients’
treatment regimen, you are addressing all facets of aging skin for
optimal results which ultimately improves patient outcome and
satisfaction, even in patients who have previously had BOTOX,” said Joel
Schlessinger, MD, board certified dermatologist from Omaha, Neb.,
director of Skin Specialists P.C., and lead investigator of the study.
“And perhaps even more importantly, 100% of study participants using the
Condition & Enhance System wished to continue treatment after the close
of the study.”
At the conclusion of the study, physician ratings of overall improvement
in facial appearance were significantly greater with the Condition &
Enhance System + BOTOX as compared to BOTOX with a standard skincare
regimen. Also, it was found that 86 percent of Condition & Enhance +
BOTOX patients achieved an overall improvement in facial appearance vs.
8 percent using BOTOX with a standard skincare regimen by the end of the
trial. In addition, statistically significant benefits were seen in
evenness of facial skin color tone and facial skin texture, as well as
improved levels of skin laxity and fine lines and wrinkles.
Similarly, the Condition & Enhance System was clinically proven to
increase patient satisfaction: 82 percent of study participants had
peers notice a positive change in overall facial appearance, as compared
to 16 percent of study participants in the standard skincare group.
