A broad, nonexhaustive, nonsystematic literature search of published studies indexed in PubMed was performed to compare selected energy technologies to MFU-V for noninvasive face and body skin tightening, in particular, among Asian patients.

Introduction: This study describes the physician experience relating to the effectiveness of incobotulinumtoxinA and patient satisfaction with its use for the treatment of glabellar frown lines (GFLs).

Methods: A total of 17 patients from six dermatological clinics, aged > 18 years and with mild to very severe GFLs at maximum frown, were included. Patients were excluded if they had treatment with resorbable fillers and botulinum toxins in the preceding six months, or non-resorbable fillers or surgery in the treatment area.
