Findings from an eight year longitudinal investigation of the Botox Cosmetic brand suggest that the meanings of anew cosmetic self enhancement technology evolve over the course of contestations between brand images promoted by the innovator and doppelganger brand images promoted by other stakeholder. Each contestation addresses an enduring contradiction between nature and technology.
