Article Synopsis
- Botulinum toxin (BTX) injections, popular for cosmetic uses, often lead to injection site pain (ISP), prompting the need for better pain management strategies.
- This study focused on adjusting the pH levels of reconstituted BTX to see if it could reduce ISP, involving 24 volunteers who received both fresh and 24-hour reconstituted toxin on different sides of their faces.
- Results showed that the more acidic fresh toxin caused more pain (mean VAS score of 5.92) compared to the less acidic reconstituted toxin (mean VAS score of 4.17), suggesting that pH adjustments can help alleviate discomfort, although larger studies are needed for further validation.*
