چکیده
Botulinum toxin Type A in Facial Aesthetics”. Subjects were blinded as to which method was used. All patients received 20 units of BT in the glabellar region (Botox, Allergan, Irvine, CA). Follow-up photographs and DISC analysis were completed weekly for the first month, then monthly up to six months post-injection. The Facial Lines Outcome 11-item survey (FLO-11) survey was also administered at each follow-up. After 6 months, subjects were crossed over and were re-injected utilizing the other method. Follow-up for the second injection was the same as the first. Statistical comparison was completed via matched sample T-test.
