Methods: A multinational panel of plastic surgeons and dermatologists convened the Global Aesthetics Consensus Group to develop updated guidelines with a worldwide perspective for hyaluronic acid fillers and botulinum toxin.
Background: Botulinum toxin type A injection remains the leading nonsurgical cosmetic procedure worldwide, with a high rate of efficacy and patient satisfaction.
Methods: A multinational, multidisciplinary group of plastic surgeons and dermatologists convened the Global Aesthetics Consensus Group to develop updated consensus recommendations with a worldwide perspective for botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid fillers. This publication on botulinum toxin type A considers advances in facial analysis, injection techniques, and avoidance and management of complications.
Background: Juvéderm® Volbella® with Lidocaine is a hyaluronic acid filler suited for lip enhancement.
Objective: Evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Juvéderm Volbella with Lidocaine versus non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid with lidocaine (Restylane-L®).
Methods: This study randomized 280 subjects desiring lip enhancement to Juvéderm Volbella with Lidocaine or Restylane-L.
Background: Little information exists on how facial aesthetic treatments are incorporated into aesthetic regimens.
Objective: Assess the evolution of facial aesthetic treatments in patients receiving long-term continuous onabotulinumtoxinA treatment.
Methods: This international retrospective chart review included patients with ≥5 years of continuous onabotulinumtoxinA treatments including ≥1 glabellar lines treatment/year.
Background: Juvéderm Volbella with Lidocaine is a new hyaluronic acid dermal filler.
Methods: In this prospective, randomized, multicenter study, 280 subjects desiring lip volume enhancement were treated with Juvéderm Volbella with Lidocaine or Restylane-L. Investigators rated treatment outcomes on Allergan's Lip Fullness Scale, Perioral Lines Scale, and Oral Commissures Severity Scale.
Background: There is a move toward a global, 3-dimensional approach to facial rejuvenation that has been prompted by advances in techniques and available products. However, little published literature exists on the procedures involved in this global approach, and currently, no validated recommendations exist.
Objectives: To provide a detailed, practical guide to rejuvenation of the perioral area, nose, and ears based on expert consensus recommendations.
Background: New techniques and products have lead to a global approach for the treatment of signs of aging. However, there is little published literature on the procedures involved in this approach and currently no validated recommendations exist.
Objectives: To provide a detailed, practical guide to midfacial volume restoration and rejuvenation of the periocular area based on expert consensus recommendations.
The objective of this paper is to provide an expert consensus regarding facial rejuvenation using a combination of volume replacement (Juvéderm(®) VOLUMA(®)), filling products (Juvéderm(®) Ultra product line) and botulinum toxin. The Juvéderm product line exploits innovative 3-D technology, producing a range of cohesive, homogenous gels that produce predictable, long-lasting and natural results. The products are easy to use by practitioners and are well-tolerated by patients, and used in combination can provide additional benefits not achieved with one product alone.

Objective: To develop consensual practice recommendations for treating the aging upper- and mid-face with onabotulinum.
Background: A new hyaluronic acid filler containing pre-incorporated 0.3% lidocaine reduces pain and enhances patient comfort. In vitro studies confirm functional equivalence with non-lidocaine-containing products, but only limited data are available on the long-term effects of lidocaine on filler performance in the clinical setting.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThis split-face, single-blind study compared the comfort and ease of injection of a new hyaluronic acid facial filler containing pre-incorporated lidocaine (Juvederm ULTRA 3) versus the established hyaluronic acid facial filler Restylane-Perlane. A total of 126 individuals were treated with both products, randomly assigned to the right or left naso-labial fold. Injector assessment-indicated mean injection pain, pain of massaging the injected area and post-injection discomfort (based on a scale of 0=no pain to 10=extreme pain) were 2.

Objective: To compare injection pain of a HA gel with preincorporated lidocaine with that with a non-lidocaine formulation.
Methods & Materials: This double-blind study at three centers enrolled 60 subjects, injected with both products, randomly assigned to left or right nasolabial fold.

The utilization of botulinum neurotoxin for facial rejuvenation has been progressively expanding into multiple upper, mid, and lower facial and neck applications. Success in these areas is dependent upon a number of factors, above all a sophisticated understanding of the underlying facial anatomy. In addition, although published consensus recommendations can guide dosing and injection site placement, expert technical application is critical, as is individualized treatment for each patient, based on an aesthetic assessment.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWhen patients undergoing nonsurgical facial rejuvenation procedures are asked to state their expectations in terms of outcomes, the achievement of a "natural, relaxed look" usually emerges as the paramount goal. The importance to clinicians of delivering on this patient desire is becoming increasingly clear. After all, patient satisfaction is the ultimate treatment goal.
