The two cases discussed in this report investigate the efficacy and safety of a novel injectable therapy for treating neck wrinkles and skin laxity, utilizing a combination of hyperdiluted calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and hyaluronidase. Two patients presenting with moderate neck wrinkles and laxity underwent treatment and were evaluated several months later. The combined therapy demonstrated improvements in skin texture and laxity following a single treatment.

Unlabelled: ATX-101 is an injectable, synthetically derived formulation of deoxycholic acid used for submental fat reduction.

Methods: A narrative review of references relevant to the mechanism of action of ATX-101 and its relationship to efficacy and inflammatory adverse events was conducted.

Results: When injected into subcutaneous fat, deoxycholic acid physically disrupts adipocyte cell membranes, leading to local adipocytolysis, cell death, and a mild, local inflammatory reaction consisting of macrophage infiltration and fibroblast recruitment.

Background: Patient-reported outcomes are important measures of treatment benefit in facial aesthetic medicine.

Objective: Evaluate prespecified subject-reported satisfaction and impact outcomes with onabotulinumtoxinA treatment of forehead lines (FHL) and glabellar lines (GL).

Methods: The study randomized (3:1) 391 adults with moderate to severe FHL and GL to onabotulinumtoxinA (FHL, 20 U; GL, 20 U) or placebo in double-blind period 1 (days 0-180); subjects could receive up to 2 additional onabotulinumtoxinA treatments in open-label period 2.

Background: Patient-reported outcomes are increasingly recognized as important measures of treatment benefit.

Objective: To evaluate subject-reported satisfaction and impact outcomes with onabotulinumtoxinA treatment in neurotoxin-naive adults with forehead lines (FHL), glabellar lines (GL), and crow's feet lines (CFL).

Methods: This Phase 3 study randomized 787 subjects to onabotulinumtoxinA 64 U (FHL 20 U, GL 20 U, and CFL 24 U), 40 U (FHL 20 U, GL 20 U, and CFL placebo), or placebo in double-blind Period 1.
