“…The injection of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT‐A) has a myriad of clinical indications and is one of the most common procedures in aesthetics 1 . As such, staying abreast of the latest research and discoveries, understanding the clinical science and pharmacodynamics, and being aware of the myths and misconceptions in BoNT‐A use are vital for all practitioners.…”

In doing so, clinicians will be better prepared to assess the properties of the neurotoxins they are administering so they can optimize patient care and make well-informed decisions as new products enter the market.…”

Background The literature on botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT‐A) is extensive, often contradictory, and confounded by a competitive market of products and research attempting to distinguish brand individuality. Methods A comprehensive review of literature on the principles of BoNT‐A in aesthetics as well as clinical examples. Results In 2017, the Eight Key Clinical Postulates were formulated as a guide for the aesthetic practitioner in understanding BoNT‐A pharmacodynamics and to compare different toxins. These are now updated to include (a) All type A toxins act identically; (b) The mathematical relationship between toxin and receptor is the basis of efficacy, and clinical efficacy is influenced by molecular potency and patient attributes including muscle mass, gender, age, and ethnicity; (c) Efficacy, onset, and duration are functions of “molecular potency” defined as the number of active 150 kDa molecules available for binding; (d) “Molecular potency” is difficult to objectively quantify for commercially available toxins; (e) Up to a point, increased molecular potency decreases time to onset and increases duration of effect, and the “Molecular Potency Quotient” is a construct for comparing molecular potency commercial cost; (f) The area of effect of a toxin injection is dependent upon molecular potency, diffusion (passive), and spread (active); (g) Differing reconstitution volumes; and (h) Increased number of injection sites can affect spread, onset, and duration of effect. Conclusions The principles of BoNT‐A use in aesthetics are complex yet understandable as outlined in the framework of the updated Eight Key Clinical Postulates and serves as a useful tool for providing the most effective treatment and interpreting research on present and future toxin formulations.

“…When consulting with male patients within a typically female‐dominated daily practice, it is important to bear in mind important differences in their facial anatomy, aging pattern, mode of interaction with healthcare services, and aesthetic treatment preferences. 5 , 8 , 9 , 13 With regard to anatomy, key features of the male face relative to females may include a squared and more prominent chin and a wider jawline. 5 , 9 This part of the face is central to perceived attractiveness.…”

Men represent only a small proportion of the overall patient population in aesthetic medicine. Indeed, in 2018, only around 10% of minimally invasive, non-surgical facial treatments using hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers or botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNTA) were given to male patients. 1,2 Men are also under-represented in clinical trials of these products. 3 However, growing numbers of males are consulting with practitioners about the possibility of facial aesthetic treatments. 4,5 This apparent increase in popularity may be driven by several factors, including the following: greater desire among many men to look

“…When the individual is transitioning from male to female (ie, transwoman), larger doses of both fillers and toxins may be required because facial skin and muscle mass tend to be thicker in cisgender males than in females. 33 , 34 Based on these inherent genetic differences, more frequent maintenance injections of toxin may also be needed for patients undergoing male-to-female transition 9 to maintain an appearance that communicates youthfulness and femininity. 35 In addition, the type of product and doses for medical aesthetic treatments will need adjustment depending on the patients’ stage of the transition process and the time-dependent effects of hormonal therapies, as discussed above.…”

There is increasing demand among transgender individuals for minimally invasive aesthetic procedures, such as injectable facial fillers and neurotoxins, for facial remodeling and transformation. These procedures may increase transgender individuals' satisfaction with their appearance and allow them to more effectively harmonize their physical appearance with their perception of self. There is currently a lack of information in the medical literature regarding guidelines for the use of these products in transgender patients. In this report, the authors provide experience-based treatment considerations and recommendations for use of minimally invasive facial aesthetic procedures in transgender patients, including case studies illustrating the use of these procedures for both male-to-female and female-tomale transitioning patients. This report highlights the success of minimally invasive methods for assisting transgender patients in achieving their facial remodeling goals. Clinicians play an integral role in the transitioning process for transgender patients, and facial transformation is a key element of this process. When conducted with sensitivity and attention to individual patient goals at varying stages of transition, facial procedures can be of great benefit in enhancing patients' self-perception and overall quality of life.
