Efficacy, Patient-Reported Outcomes, and Safety in Male Subjects Treated With OnabotulinumtoxinA for Improvement of Moderate to Severe Horizontal Forehead Lines
BACKGROUND Men represent a growing segment of the facial aesthetic market. OBJECTIVE To evaluate investigator-assessed efficacy, patient-reported outcomes, and safety after onabotulinumtoxinA treatment of forehead lines (FHL) in men. METHODS Subjects with moderate to severe FHL received onabotulinumtoxinA (frontalis: 20 U; glabellar complex: 20 U, with/without 24 U in crow's feet regions) or placebo in 6-month, double-blind periods of 2 pivotal trials. Results for men were pooled. RESULTS Men comprised 12% (140/1,178) of subjects. Day 30 male responder rates for achieving at least 1-grade Facial Wrinkle Scale (FWS) improvement at maximum eyebrow elevation and at rest were 98.2% and 93.3%, respectively; a significant difference in responder rates was maintained versus placebo (p < .05) through Day 150. Despite men having proportionately more severe FHL at baseline, 81.8% and 79.8% achieved Day 30 FWS ratings of none or mild at maximum eyebrow elevation and at rest, respectively (p < .05); significance versus placebo was maintained through Day 120. Men reported high satisfaction rates and improved psychological impacts. No new safety signals were detected. CONCLUSION Standard dosing and administration of onabotulinumtoxinA significantly improved static and dynamic FHL appearance, despite men having proportionately more severe FHL at baseline. Men reported high satisfaction and appearance-related psychological impact improvements. Address correspondence and reprint requests to: Terrence C.

Efficacy and Safety of 3 New Resilient Hyaluronic Acid Fillers, Crosslinked With Decreased BDDE, for the Treatment of Dynamic Wrinkles: Results of an 18-Month, Randomized Controlled Trial Versus Already Available Comparators
BACKGROUND Three new hyaluronic acid (HA)-based fillers made of long chains crosslinked with reduced amounts of 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) were developed for the treatment of dynamic facial areas. Their resilience and increased stretching ability were optimized to ease injectors' practice and provide patients with most natural aesthetic results. OBJECTIVE This study aimed at evaluating the efficacy, durability, and safety of these resilient HA fillers versus commercially available comparator gels. METHODS A prospective, monocentric, split-face, double-blinded, randomized, controlled trial was performed on 90 subjects presenting moderate to severe bilateral nasolabial folds (NLFs). Efficacy parameters were assessed over 18 months, including improvement on the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale and Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale, as well as quantitative imaging and analysis of NLF correction. Physicians' and subjects' satisfaction, together with safety, were assessed throughout the study. RESULTS The new HA fillers offered efficacy and safety profiles at least equivalent to comparators. These dynamic facial fillers elicited higher satisfaction immediately after injection but also on the long run, according to both investigators and subjects. CONCLUSION This pilot trial demonstrated the numerous benefits of 3 new resilient HA fillers with decreased BDDE crosslinking in the treatment of dynamic wrinkles.
