Fine lines and wrinkles, loss of volume, texture changes, and solar lentigines around the mouth are the result of both extrinsic and intrinsic factors, and are common concerns seen in cosmetic practice. Perioral rejuvenation can be addressed using a variety of noninvasive means including botulinum toxin, fillers, and laser resurfacing. In clinical practice, a multifaceted treatment plan utilizing a variety of noninvasive means to address the multiple tissue changes is often undertaken. Combining botulinum toxin with fillers or laser resurfacing has previously been shown to produce more desirable and longer lasting results. Here we report the results of using a sequential approach with all three modalities.

Background: Radiofrequency-assisted (RF) facial rejuvenation has become a safe and reliable option for "treatment gap" patients, including (1) patients whose skin laxity is not severe enough to warrant a facelift, yet not mild enough to reliably treat with noninvasive procedures; (2) patients who have already undergone a face or neck lift and have recurrent laxity; and (3) patients who would benefit from a traditional face or neck lift but want to avoid surgery and are willing to accept a more modest improvement without extensive surgical scar burden and recovery.
Objectives: In this study we aimed to educate the reader about providing bipolar RF to various anatomic regions of the face.
Methods: A retrospective review of cases was conducted to assess the safety of zone-specific RF-assisted facial rejuvenation in S.

Background: Perioral rejuvenation is challenging due to the lack of spatial anatomical understanding of the labiomandibular fold (LMF). The LMF's formation mechanism remains underexplored due to intricate relationships between musculature and subcutaneous structures. This study aimed to clarify the three-dimensional structures of the LMF using micro-computed tomography and histology.

Background: Drooping mouth corner may lead to a sad, tired or aging appearance, which could be corrected by injection of botulinum neurotoxin. In the article, we describe a novel "cross injection" technique for mouth corner lift with botulinum neurotoxin injection guided by ultrasound.
Methods: Patients with drooping mouth corner were treated with botulinum neurotoxin injection using ultrasound-guided "cross injection" technique.
