Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Peter Graham]

  Small cap hair, eye, skin care and disease management stock PhotoMedex Inc (NASDAQ: PHMD), a potential peer of small caps Cynosure, Inc (NASDAQ: CYNO), Cutera, Inc (NASDAQ: CUTR) and Syneron Medical Ltd (NASDAQ: ELOS), is ranked as the twelfth most shorted stock on the Nasdaq with short interest of 38.25% according to Highshortinterest.com. PhotoMedex does face its share of headwinds as a lackluster economy and low consumer confidence limits demand for its products and ! services.The company is also in default of the credit facilities.

To begin with, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International has a wide focus on neurology, dermatology and infectious diseases but acquiring the maker of Botox won't be its first foray into the aesthetic market because earlier this year, the company completed its acquisition of Solta Medical Inc (NASDAQ: SLTM) - a designer, developer, manufacturer and marketer of energy-based medical device systems for aesthetic applications. And while Allergan, Inc may be most well known for Botox, its actually a pretty big company focused on a diverse range of areas, including ophthalmic pharmaceuticals, dermatology, neuroscience, urology and cosmetics – meaning the following stocks offer investors better exposure to the aesthetics market:
