Medicis has been given a strong buy recommendation by Standard and Poor's analysts citing their new products for acne treatment and their strong market share in dermal fillers (Restylane and Perlane). From someone in the trenches of treating acne, I have been underwhelmed by the new Ziana and Solodyne products. These don't seem like the right fuel to launch a rocket to soaring profits. The Restylane product will be getting more competition from Juvederm and Radiesse as well as other dermal fillers in the pipeline.
