Can you chill for a minute, DD? I think everyone has a right to be heard and respected on these boards. But, when someone has a large stake in a competitior and 3-4 days before the FDA approval date they are pounding on the competition, it just looks bad. I do not think you are trying to help investors anymore, but trying to affect the FCSC stock price.

I have personally been treated by dermatologists for everything from acne, acne scars to skin cancer (basal cell treated w/ MOHS closed up by a plastic surgeon). There is nothing out there that can effectively treat acne scarring. Nothing. Your fillers are a joke when it comes to this. Not to mention that they can't be used over and over again because of lumping and uneven results. People with money that want good skin will use this product. I am too young for nasal folds, but I will use this product when approved.

Also, if this company was such a "scam" and the technology was bogus, I highly doubt UCLA would be working with them on a study. Additionally, their future endeavor of applying this science to gums will be the first of its kind. Now, people must do gum grafting, which is very painful and not that successful. The number one cause of tooth loss is gum problems, not decay. In the future, this technology could change that.

Since you are in MA, why not chill and take a weekend trip to Martha's Vineyard? I love that island. Relax. Chill. Go to the Square Rigger and have a drink and some lobster. :)

I have heard from a VERY credible source that the laViv is better indicated for acne than wrinkles.

Unfortunately we aren't as sophisticated as you fella. We are just sheep, eh? I think you are getting worried that if LaViv is approved, it may take away market share from AGN, a company you own stock in, correct? Why else would you spend so much time talking about a stock that is barely over $1 and you have no financial interest in it one way or another.
