Direct-Acting Cholinergic Agonists: Therapeutic Uses

704
Direct-acting cholinergic agonists have many therapeutic uses in various medical fields. Choline esters, including acetylcholine, have limited clinical utility due to their non-selectivity and short duration of action. Still, acetylcholine and carbachol are applied topically during ophthalmologic surgery to induce miosis. Pilocarpine, a muscarinic and ganglionic stimulator, effectively treats open-angle glaucoma and alleviates xerostomia and dry mouth caused by radiotherapy or Sjögren...

Area of Science:

  • Medical aesthetics
  • Gender-affirming care
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Aesthetic considerations are integral to transgender experiences and gender identity expression.
  • Nonsurgical cosmetic procedures, including neuromodulators, are increasingly utilized for gender dysphoria.
  • Neuromodulators provide significant, temporary aesthetic results with minimal risks and downtime.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a comprehensive literature review on the aesthetic applications of neuromodulators for transgender and nonbinary individuals.
  • To explore the role of neuromodulators in non-surgical facial and body modification for gender affirmation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search of PubMed/MEDLINE for studies on neuromodulator use in transgender and nonbinary populations.
  • Emphasis on peer-reviewed articles and references published within the last 10 years, up to January 2024.
  • Focused keyword searches for nonsurgical facial and body modification using neuromodulators.

Main Results:

  • Limited publications highlight various indications for neuromodulator treatment in this demographic.
  • Key applications include brow positioning, lower face contouring, lip eversion, and body contouring (trapezius slimming, leg contouring).

Conclusions:

  • Dermatologists are essential in supporting transgender and nonbinary individuals in achieving their gender affirmation goals.
  • Neuromodulator treatments represent a valuable tool in the dermatological approach to gender affirmation.
