Background:Botulinum toxin type A injection remains the leading nonsurgical cosmetic procedure worldwide, with a high rate of efficacy and patient satisfaction.Methods:A multinational, multidisciplinary group of plastic surgeons and dermatologists convened the Global Aesthetics Consensus Group to develop updated consensus recommendations with a worldwide perspective for botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid fillers. This publication on botulinum toxin type A considers advances in facial analysis, injection techniques, and avoidance and management of complications.Results:Use of botulinum toxin has evolved from the upper face to also encompass the lower face, neck, and midface. The Global Aesthetics Consensus Group emphasizes an integrative, diagnostic approach. Injection dosage and placement are based on analysis of target muscles in the context of adjacent ones and associated soft and hard tissues. The indication for selection of botulinum toxin as a primary intervention is that excessive muscular contraction is the primary etiology of the facial disharmony to be addressed. Global Aesthetics Consensus Group recommendations demonstrate a paradigm shift toward neuromodulation rather than paralysis, including lower dosing of the upper face, more frequent combination treatment with hyaluronic acid fillers, and intracutaneous injection where indicated to limit depth and degree of action.Conclusions:The accumulation of clinical evidence and experience with botulinum toxin has led to refinements in treatment planning and implementation. The Global Aesthetics Consensus Group advocates an etiology-driven, patient-tailored approach, to enable achievement of optimal efficacy and safety in patient populations that are rapidly diversifying with respect to ethnicity, gender, and age.CLINCAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:Therapeutic, V.

“…The third one, deception by sham advertisings, has not been reported before according to PubMed. In clinical practice, there is a gap where patients need more information, while doctors are limited by time constraints [16]. According to our survey, doctors spent less than 3 min per patient on one third of the total population.…”

Background: Medication adherence is essential for psoriasis management. Although studies have determined the prevalence and correlative factors of non-adherence, as far as we know, there has been no study specifically addressing them in China. Methods: Anonymous 23-item questionnaires were distributed to 324 psoriatic patients from June 2012 to June 2013. χ² test, normality test, Student's t test or Mann-Whitney U test, Bonferroni correction and the binary logistic regression model were applied. Results: Self-medication of psoriasis was high in China (82.4%). Joint involvement, absence of communication with families and short communication duration with doctors were the three top factors affecting adherence. Besides low efficacy (16.0%) and recurrence frustration (27.0%), we found that patients' deception by sham advertisings (24.1%) is an non-negligible issue. Conclusion: Psoriasis self-medication in China was high. Improvement of patients' communication with families and/or doctors were suggested to be crucial to enhance adherence. Meanwhile, extermination of sham advertisings by administrative agencies is of great concern.
