Dr. Pradeep Sinha, board certified facial plastic surgery specialist of The Atlanta Institute for Facial Aesthetic Surgery, has been selected by Allergan, the maker of BOTOX(R) Cosmetic, as one of the physicians nationwide to hold clinical trials of the latest advance in FDA-approved facial fillers, JUVEDERM(TM) ULTRA and JUVEDERM(TM) ULTRA PLUS.

JUVEDERM(TM) ULTRA and JUVEDERM(TM) ULTRA PLUS are technologically advanced hyaluronic acid dermal fillers that provide volume for deeper facial folds and lasts for up to six months, or longer.

Dr. Sinha will hold an open-label trial in the Atlanta area later this month to gain information on the new products. As a testing physician, Dr. Sinha will begin offering JUVEDERM(TM) ULTRA products to the general public the first of December, while both JUVEDERM(TM) ULTRA products will be available through physicians' offices in January 2007.

"My patients have been awaiting the arrival of a facial filler that lasts longer and provides a smoother, better result," says Dr. Sinha, "and we believe the JUVEDERM(TM) ULTRA and JUVEDERM(TM) ULTRA PLUS trials will demonstrate that that product is here."

On June 2, 2006 the FDA approved the Juvederm(R) family of products, a 'next generation' of smooth gel, non-animal hyaluronic acid dermal fillers offering a natural look and feel and long-lasting results for up to six months or longer. Juvederm(R)'s long duration of effect may be attributed to the fact that it is the only dermal filler currently available on the market with the highest concentration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid and a special proprietary formulation process. It also is currently the only approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has demonstrated its safety and effectiveness in patients of all skin types and colors.

The Atlanta Institute for Facial Aesthetic Surgery offers a comprehensive array of the most advanced surgical, laser and office-based procedures for restoring, refining and rejuvenating the face, customized for each individual patient in a warm, professional setting. Selected as one of the few BOTOX(R) National Training Centers and Georgia's only Lumenis Center of Excellence for aesthetic lasers, the practice is on the forefront of the latest cosmetic procedures.
