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.

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: Understanding the subjects' perspective is critical for successfully treating upper facial lines.
Objective: To understand subjects' self-perception and overall satisfaction after onabotulinumtoxinA treatment for forehead and glabellar lines.
Methods: This analysis pooled data from two 12-month, pivotal phase 3 studies in which toxin-naive subjects received onabotulinumtoxinA 40 U or placebo for treatment of upper facial lines.

Background: The 11-item Facial Line Outcomes (FLO-11) questionnaire is content validated for measuring the negative psychological impacts of crow's feet lines (CFL).
Objectives: The aims of this study were to determine psychological impacts of forehead lines (FHL) alone and upper facial lines (UFL: FHL + CFL + glabellar lines [GL]) and to assess adequacy of FLO-11 to measure these impacts.
Methods: Participants aged at least 18 years participated in concept elicitation and cognitive interviews to identify and define psychological impacts of UFL.
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.
Purpose: Evaluate the safety and effectiveness of bimatoprost 0.03% for treatment of eyelash hypotrichosis in a pediatric population.
Patients And Methods: This multicenter, randomized, double-masked, parallel-group study was conducted at seven sites in the US and Brazil.
Objective: Describe the safety profile of bimatoprost 0.03% ophthalmic solution as once-daily topical treatment for idiopathic or chemotherapy-induced eyelash hypotrichosis.
Design: Pooled data from six randomized, multicenter, double-masked, parallel-group clinical studies of at least three-months' duration with at least one bimatoprost treatment group.
Background: The efficacy and safety of bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03% for treating hypotrichosis were shown in a randomized controlled trial and in an open-label study. To date, no data on real-world experience have been published.
