Beauty Attracts Some Venture-Capital Beholders
October 13, 2007 – The Wall Street Journal Online.
Venture capitalists have tended to shy away from investing in the
vanity niche -- wrinkle-erasing or flab-zapping concoctions and devices
-- a field better known for hype than scientific innovation. But
with people spending more of their disposable income on beautifying
themselves, investors are starting to express more interest in products
like these. The
success of the antiwrinkle drug Botox, which hit $1 billion in sales
last year, has fueled much of this interest. At the same time, cosmetic lasers
and other skin-treatment devices are gaining popularity in doctors'
offices, shopping malls and holiday resorts. As
a result, the so-called cosmetic-medicine market, though still small,
is starting to attract traditional technology and life-sciences investors.
