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.*

Steatocystoma multiplex (SM) is a rare hamartomatous malformation of the pilosebaceous duct junction. Most cases of SM are sporadic, although less common autosomal dominant inherited forms have been reported. Steatocystoma multiplex suppurativa (SMS) is a much rarer inflammatory variant of SM, associated with severe inflammatory lesions resembling those of hidradenitis suppurativa.

Background: Lateral oblique forehead lines had previously been defined as "sleeping lines." We present arguments to support the premise that these lines are not caused by sleeping position, but arise instead from the repeated contraction of powerful frontalis and orbicularis oculi muscles and can therefore be successful treated with onabotulinum toxin A.

Objectives: To understand the causes behind the development of lateral oblique forehead lines and to look at treatment outcomes using onabotulinum toxin A.
