Area of Science:

  • Cosmetic Dermatology
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Facial Rejuvenation

Background:

  • Injectable agents, including soft tissue fillers and botulinum toxin type A, are increasingly utilized for cosmetic purposes.
  • These minimally invasive techniques are now the most common cosmetic procedures in the United States.
  • Botulinum type A injections are the most frequently performed cosmetic procedure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of botulinum type A and commonly used injectable fillers (hyaluronic acid and human-derived collagen).
  • To discuss treatment strategies for facial aging, divided into upper, middle, and lower thirds.
  • To emphasize the benefits of combining dermal fillers with botulinum toxin type A for optimal aesthetic results.
