Background: Botulinum toxin is a well-established treatment for dynamic glabellar lines. Glabellar contraction patterns were described previously in the general Brazilian population and also among Koreans, Chinese, and Indian individuals. So far, no study has addressed glabellar contraction "patterns" in Black subjects.
Objective: To identify the glabellar contraction patterns in the Black population for a better treatment approach with botulinum toxin treatment.
Method: Pairs of photographs - at rest and under contraction - from 103 Black patients were analyzed according to a previously described classification based on the predominance of eyebrow approximation, depression, or elevation movements.
Results: The 5 glabellar contraction patterns described previously - "U," "V," "convergent arrows," "omega," and "inverted omega" - could be identified in these patients.
Conclusion: The classification of glabellar wrinkles enables a more accurate individualized treatment with botulinum toxin in Black subjects, in addition to other ethnic groups. J Drugs Dermatol. 2025;24(1):57-63. doi:10.36849/JDD.8503.

Background: Two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase III studies of incobotulinumtoxinA for treating upper facial lines (UFL; combination of glabellar frown lines [GFL], horizontal forehead lines [HFL] and lateral canthal lines [LCL]) were conducted in the US (ULTRA I: NCT04594213) and Germany (ULTRA II: NCT04622254).
Objectives: To evaluate safety and efficacy of simultaneous intramuscular injections for UFL. Longer-term safety and efficacy were assessed in open-label extension periods (OLEX).
Background: Glabellar contraction patterns were introduced to the scientific literature to help guide glabellar neuromodulator injection algorithms. However, the relationship between the underlying musculature and its influence on these glabellar contraction patterns is unclear.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) glabellar muscle parameters that display an influence on the distribution of individual glabellar contraction patterns.
Neuromodulators in Men.

Skin Care and Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, California.
Background And Objective: Botulinum toxin treatment is gaining popularity among men for cosmetic purposes driven by workplace competition and a desire for confidence and youthfulness. Because of the unique features of male facial anatomy, careful consideration is necessary during assessment and treatment execution.
Methods: The peer-reviewed literature on male facial anatomy in relation to neuromodulator treatment was analyzed with a particular emphasis on studies involving male subjects and the use of botulinum toxin type A.
Assessment of the Efficacy and Durability of IncobotulinumtoxinA in the Treatment of the Upper Face in Adult Women.
Dermatol Ther (Heidelb)

Clínica Skinline, Santo André, SP, Brazil.
Introduction: IncobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin®) is used in the treatment of dynamic wrinkles and the aesthetic repositioning of facial structures. The duration of its muscular effect typically extends for around 4 months. However, the residual aesthetic benefit can be observed for a longer period.
