Abstract:
Objective To assess the efficacy and adverse reactions of two cconcentrations of diluted botulinum toxin A for dynamic frontotransverse wrinkles.Methods Totally 103 cases met the inclusion criteria were assigned into two groups by a random number table:high concentration group (50 U/ml,53 cases) and low concentration group (25 U/ml,50 cases).The two groups were given the local injection with 50 U/ml and 25 U/ml concentration of botulinum toxin type A,respectively.Dosage of BTX-A,the treatment effect,the duration of the effect and the incidence of adverse reactions were analyzed.Results The high concentration group were given the BTX-A (45.53±2.05) U,the low concentration group were given the BTX-A (25.71 ± 1.74) U,and the difference were statistically significant (P＜0.05).The differences of post-operative evaluation,time of onset and duration between the two groups were not statistically significant (P＞0.05).In the high concentration group,30 cases (88.24％) had forehead heaviness sensation,and 2 cases (5.71％) in the low concentration group,the difference were statistically significant (P＜0.01).Neither of the groups was given any specific treatment,the symptoms were disappeared in two weeks.In either group there was no serious complications such as intoxication,allergy,etc.Conclusions The efficacy of local injection with two concentrations of diluted botulinum toxin A in the treatment of dynamic frontotransverse wrinkles is positive,the duration of treatment effect between the two groups is similar,and therefore the 25 U/ml concentration is recommended to reduce the forehead heaviness sensation.
