Allergan Aesthetics is a hot mess

Perhaps Leadership needs another meeting to take new stab at this? Haha.

Or the mouth breather whispering preclinical device guy they parade as an RnD head will fix it. Look what the visionary has done so far. Hot mess does not begin to describe it.

Something tells me the good ole days may be gone for good. The market has changed and become much more competitive fighting while for the less valuable dollar. Double digit growth in FA will be very challenging sadly! Just my 2 cents from 20 years here.

A ton of products to choose from now with many companies massively discounting trying to gain ground.

Thoughts on LRM Aesthetic? Looks like a ton of Allergan people there. Is the product any good? Would love feedback.

Is Evolus having much of an impact on Botox or just unreachable growth expectations?

Evolution had traction in the beginning but they blew the launch. Overpromised outcomes, high price point, lack of 6 month efficacy, people tried it and then majority never reordered. Lasted 3-4 months, burned when injected and was way too expensive.

Minimal. But even that makes it tough to grow 20%.

Interesting place. Basically Old Allergan 2.0. Not sure how the feedback is from customers.

Evolus is just the distributor of a 2nd class Korean toxin. They are growing but the product is not great. Soon Evolus will start distributing a toxin but they are entering the game very late. Not a real threat to Allergan.

Is it just me or is this place getting worse? Old products, lots of competition and incompetent R&D. I mean leadership can have another offsite and the subsequent LinkedIn posts but is there any hope things improve? This used to be THE place.

Allergan used to be the reference in aesthetics, but no longer. Old products, high prices, lack of innovation, share loss due to competitive pressure, low category growth…
It’s just the beginning of the downward spiral.

I think you could be right. Where do you go with an aesthetics background?

Is it me or are we losing market share all over the place? It seems like Allergan is losing some of its former glory.

Welcome to the world of true competition. More options across the board for all categories and only going to increase.

Matter of time before aesthetics is eye care. Allergan Aesthetics is modern day Madonna. Once upon a time hot, edgy. Now …

Truth…. Most all of the allergan legacy is now gone. Different place.

Allergan’s best days are over. The dominance is over as market share is lost every quarter. Competition is real and becoming fierce. Time to move on.

Aesthetics is no longer the high growth, high bonus industry it used to be. Lack of innovation, commoditized products and increased competition.
