More Wrinkles for Botox Makers

A famous dermatologist in Beverly Hills, Dr. Arnold Klein, has just issued a press release where he says a study about the effects of Botox was misrepresented by Allergan, the company that makes Botox.
He is referring to a paper which included graphs "demonstrating a worsening of wrinkle severity after the Botox wore-off".
It's surprising that Dr. Klein is on a mission to inform the public about the dangers surrounding the improper use of Botox. He used to serve on the advisory board for Allergan and may have received over a $100,000 per year for his duties. But since he has raised concerns over these issues he's been let go from his advisory board position.
