Results:
The expert panel provided their insights on appropriate patient selection, managing patient expectations of ATX-101 treatment outcomes, and adverse events, and guidance on ATX-101 administration for optimal outcomes are presented here.
Conclusion:
These best clinical practices on the use of ATX-101 for the reduction of submental fat should enable physicians to enhance the patient treatment experience and outcomes.
