Consensus Recommendations for Treatment of the Upper Face With LetibotulinumtoxinA
One of the authors (K-H. Y.) convened a panel of seven aesthetic experts from South Korea and Australia to create guidelines for treating facial lines of the upper face with letibotulinumtoxinA. The panel members provided recommendations for injection sites, dosage, and injection techniques for using letibotulinumtoxinA and also considered relevant anatomy, patient assessment and selection, and individual variations to evaluate clinical strategies for minimizing complications. The panelists provided recommendations for treating forehead horizontal lines, glabellar frown lines, and lateral canthal lines. The guidelines developed by the panel will support clinical practitioners of all skill levels in providing safe and effective aesthetic treatments of the forehead, glabellar complex, and lateral canthal lines with letibotulinumtoxinA.
