Our results have shown that the delivery mode, pulsed Nd:YAG versus CW, may be just as important as the wavelength. Therefore, the 1,310 nm CW laser may not be equivalent to the 1,320 nm pulsed laser. In addition, protected 810 nm fibers may be less likely to yield wall perforations than their non-protected counterparts.

Although generally satisfied with abobotulinumtoxinA, when given a choice between abobotulinumtoxinA and onabotulinumtoxinA, the majority of patients favored the latter. This preference remained even after the dilution of abobotulinumtoxinA was decreased.
