Popis: | Background Intradermal injections of botulinum toxin have been reported to improve sebum secretion, facial skin laxity, and facial pores. However, the effects of Incobotulinumtoxin-A for these indications have not been reported. Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Incobotulinumtoxin-A for the improvement of sebum secretion, face laxity, and facial pores. Materials and methods This single-center retrospective study included patients treated with Incobotulinumtoxin-A to improve facial skin laxity, sebum secretion, and facial pores. The microdroplet injection protocol included injection points on the lateral face, anterior medial cheek, mandibular line, depressor anguli oris points, mid-glabella area, and chin. Outcomes were measured using a Sebumeter and three-dimensional scanner and were evaluated by facial laxity ratings and the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale. Results Twenty patients were included in the analysis. Sebum secretion, mandibular length, facial pores, and facial laxity ratings were improved at 1 week and results were sustained through 12 weeks. All outcomes showed maximum improvement after 4 weeks. Evaluation using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale showed that all subjects reported at least a score of 2 (improved) after 4 weeks. Conclusion This study showed that intradermal injection with Incobotulinumtoxin-A could be effective for face lifting, reduced sebum production, and improved facial pores.
