Facial expressions convey emotions that form the foundation of interpersonal relationships, and many of these emotions promote and regulate our social linkages. Hence, the facial aging symptomatological analysis and the treatment plan must of necessity include knowledge of the facial dynamics and the emotional expressions of the face.

Article Synopsis
- A survey in France evaluated the use of onabotulinumtoxin A (a type of Botox) for treating aging in the lower face and neck.
- The study involved 57 participants reviewing techniques, resulting in recommendations that address specific facial concerns and techniques for effective treatment.
- The findings indicate that using onabotulinumtoxin A, often alongside other treatments, can lead to natural-looking results and better understanding of facial aging.
Background: Onabotulinumtoxin A (onabotulinum) has been used for 7 years in the treatment of the aging face. A survey was conducted to identify current practices in France.
Objective: To develop consensual practice recommendations for treating the aging upper- and mid-face with onabotulinum.
Background: The efficacy of numerous hyaluronic acid (HA)-based fillers has been demonstrated by semi-quantitative and qualitative methods, useful in clinical practice, but poorly reliable.
Objective: To objectively evaluate the efficacy of a HA gel in treating nasolabial folds (NLFs) over a 9-12-month follow-up period.
Methods: A total of 47 adult patients with moderate to severe NLFs received one or two injections of HA gel.
