“…The youthfulness despite advancing age includes smooth, charming skin without skin folds, volume loss, and skin laxity. [1] According to Ayurveda aging is defined as “to become old by the act of wearing out” which is a synonym for “Vardhakya.”[2] Aging is an inevitable biological process, in which both intrinsic and extrinsic determinants led progressively to a loss of structural integrity and physiological function.

Background: Ever-changing perception of beauty from childhood to old age is changing with the revolution in cosmeceuticals science. Esthetics is an individual's perception since time immemorial. Standards of beauty have changed through centuries with increased awareness about esthetics. The face remains main source of information for identification and discrimination. It constitutes a structural ground for many nonverbal messages including the emotional state of a person, so the proverb “Face is an index of mind” holds good. The wrinkles and laxity are considered to be one of the factors for aging. Hence, escalating demand for cosmetic treatment to reduce facial wrinkles and laxity has stimulated us to search for published literature for nonsurgical techniques for enhancement of facial beauty. The review analyzed the published data to provide narrative basic review in a concise way to the beginners, clinicians, and students. Materials and Methods: We have adopted search criteria using keywords: Botox, Botulinum toxin, incobotulinumtoxinA, esthetics, face, uses of Botox, with various Boolean operators and or in title, and abstract using PubMed search engine. The database search limited to PubMed only from January 2013 to June 2018. Results: Various search results have been appended as annexures at the end of the article for further reference for the readers. Finally, 17 references were selected to write narrative review to meet our objectives. Conclusion: The advancing front in the use of toxins is an emerging science for the beautification of a face. Botox exploded in to market because of efficacy, tolerability, and minimally invasive nature. The present review gives brief about the history of Botulinum toxin, types, mechanism of action, clinical indications, preparations, storage, and technique for various uses with a brief note on patient selection, contraindications, and complications.

Introduction:The American Society of Plastic Surgeons states in 2016 that injectable fillers have become a popular option for facial rejuvenation. The main reason for its popularity and rapid spread can be traced back to the uses of facial fillers; restore facial volume, reverse aging, and enhance the shape and contours of the face. The aging of the skin become apparent by the thinning of the dermis and epidermis, a decrease in collagen, dermal elastosis, and actinic damage, causing laxity, rhytids, and pigment irregularities. With the widespread facial fillers around the world and specifically inside Sulaimani city, this research aims at exploring the general population's response and acceptance of these types of procedures. Materials and Methods:The researcher commissioned a local survey to gather the opinions of men women from Sulaimani city on the concepts of beauty, facial aesthetics, skincare routines and treatments involving injectables and dermal fillers. 200 (potential) patients (male and female) from the general population have been approached with a questionnaire regarding their personal and subjective views on facial fillers. The questions have been designed in a way as not to promote facial fillers in any way, nor to cause anxiety in the patients regarding their choices nor hint at any "right beliefs". In addition, the questionnaire asked patient's demographic data such as age, sex, education level, psycholog¬ical aspects, and reasons for seeking facial filler or avoiding it.

Background: Botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid dermal filler injections are the most widely used aesthetic facial treatments and dental professionals are well-positioned to provide them due to their knowledge of facial anatomy. OBJECTIVES: To study the knowledge, types of treatment, facilitators, and barriers that dental professionals have in providing botulinum toxin and dermal filler management in UK dental practice. METHODS: A questionnaire was developed, and after piloting was distributed through an email link via the British Association of Dental Therapists (BADT) and the Chief Investigator’s personal network of dental professionals from different dental backgrounds and with varying scopes of practice. A sample size of 100 respondents to the questionnaire was anticipated. RESULTS: A total of 110 questionnaires were returned. 47 (43%) of 110 participants were trained in botulinum toxin and dermal filler management. Of those 47 participants, currently only 22 were actively offering these treatments. Of those, 100% offered treatment for facial wrinkles, 73% for lip augmentation and 50% for chin and cheek enhancement. Training courses were of short duration of between 1 and 4 days. 46% of trained participants identified a lack of confidence in managing complications. CONCLUSIONS: The study revealed a significant interest among dental professionals who responded in offering botulinum toxin and dermal filler treatments, which could represent a potential growth area for the dental profession. However, concerns were raised about the adequacy of hands-on training provided through short courses, which highlighted the need for more comprehensive and hands-on training courses.
