>> >> so those are conditions that we see. some people are born with or develop over time. >> all of those are approved by the fda. what about offlabel uses? >> one in dermatology is rosacia that they're looking into. and another one is depression. there's studies that came out that show that it was a small study, so less than 20 people. they need to do larger studies. but having the botox done in the frown line area decreased the need for anti-depression medication. >> that's interesting. >> very interesting. it was from observation of people getting frown lines down. and they notice that their mood and well being seemed to change. >> which comes first? the frown lines or the depression? >> i don't know. but i wish i would have thought about it. we hold a lot of stress and

anxiety our frown lines. so some people with depression, it has been noted. >> are there any dangers with using botox. . in some, and in a couple of cases, in children, there have been what is the last resort for these children or they were going to die. they had neurological conditions. and so they had to have way more amount or concentration than we typically use for the conditions that i was just stating. so there was a couple deaths in children. but again, it was a last resort and last treatment t so when you're trying to do life
