Background: An in-depth and detailed facial assessment is critical in treating and achieving desirable dermal filler and neurotoxin results.
Methods: An acronym called A.S.
Background: Microgenia resulting from congenital deficiency or aging can significantly affect the facial profile and render it less attractive. This study assessed the effectiveness of treatment with incobotulinumtoxinA (Inco) and calcium hydroxylapatite with integral lidocaine (CaHA[+]) for improving chin profile.
Methods: Subjects with a hyperactive mentalis and at least moderate chin retrusion according to the Asian Chin Projection Scale (ACPS) were recruited.
Background: Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition of varying severity that can significantly impact patient quality of life. Intense pulsed light (IPL) is an established treatment for rosacea-associated telangiectasia, inflammation, and erythema. This study assessed whether application of a phyto-corrective mask, gel, and resveratrol antioxidant serum after IPL treatment can improve outcomes and reduce procedure-related adverse effects.

Objective: We evaluated the effect of incobotulinumtoxinA (INCO) in glabellar, forehead, and lateral periorbital lines using a high dilution.
Methods: Subjects with moderate-to-severe upper facial lines at rest according to the Merz Aesthetics Scales (Merz Pharmaceuticals GmbH, Frankfurt am Main, Germany) received 15U of INCO to the glabellar (n=4 injection sites), 10U to the rest of the forehead (n=10 injection sites), and 5U to the lateral periorbital lines (n=3 injection sites/eye).
