Six-Month Comparative Analysis Monitoring the Progression of the Largest Diameter of the Sweating Inhibition Halo of Different Botulinum Toxins Type-A.

Background: Excessive sweating is a clinical condition that can be improved with type-A botulinum toxin (BTX-A).

Objectives: To evaluate and compare the largest diameter of sweating inhibition halo (SIH) of 5 different commercially available BTX-A, in five different doses, in a 6-month-long clinical evaluation.

Methods: Twenty-five adult female volunteers were injected in the dorsal trunk area with both 100 units (100UI) and 500 units (500UI) BTX-A products, reconstituted in a ratio of 1:2.

Assessment of clinical effects and safety of an oral supplement based on marine protein, vitamin C, grape seed extract, zinc, and tomato extract in the improvement of visible signs of skin aging in men.

Background: Skin aging is a natural process that may be aggravated by environmental factors. Topical products are the conventional means to combat aging; however, the use of oral supplements is on the rise to assist in the management of aged skin.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the effects and safety of an oral supplement containing (per tablet) marine protein (105 mg), vitamin C (27 mg), grape seed extract (13.

Comparative study of the diffusion of five botulinum toxins type-A in five dosages of use: are there differences amongst the commercially-available products?

Background: Diffusion halo profiles of different commercially available type-A botulinum toxins (BTX-A) have been studied.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the largest diameter of diffusion halos of 5 different doses of 5 different commercially available BTX-A.

Methods: Twenty-five adult female volunteers were included.

Clinical, biometric and ultrasound assessment of the effects of daily use of a nutraceutical composed of lycopene, acerola extract, grape seed extract and Biomarine Complex in photoaged human skin.

Background: The use of nutraceuticals has become frequent in the cutaneous approach to photoaging.

Objectives: To assess the clinical efficacy of a nutraceutical product composed of lycopene, acerola extract, grape seed extract and Biomarine ComplexT in photoaged human skin.

Methods: 50 women, from 35 to 60 years of age, phototypes I to III, were assessed.
