So far in 2013, there have been seven single or joint reviews of BoNT products focusing on facial aesthetics. The frustrating aspects of these reviews cover two areas: Firstly, they inevitably speculate about why there are "apparent differences" between the products. They attempt to use the science of BoNT-A to explain these differences. This speculation is both inappropriate and weak. In fact, the majority of differences between the products seen clinically are, by far, due to simple dose differences used in studies, especially when two or more products are being compared.View original paper by Prager.Pickett ADove Medical PressarticleTherapeutics.
