New treatment for wrinkles

Possibly you were too busy over the holidays developing wrinkles while buying gifts and anticipating bills to notice that the FDA has approved a new treatment for those deep lines--something that lasts longer than Botox and Restylane. It's called Radiesse and is produced by BioForm Medical Inc.

And if you don't care about lines and wrinkles, you might use it to plump your retirement portfolio. Sales are expected to rise 15% annually through 2010--just 3 years away-- to $935 million.
