RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: As new aesthetic treatment techniques are developed, the understanding of botulinum toxin type A safety and treatment outcomes continues to evolve. OBJECTIVE: This article was developed to provide a comprehensive up-to-date reference for clinicians using incobotulinumtoxinA (INCO; Xeomin/Bocouture, Merz Pharmaceuticals GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany) for aesthetic treatments. PATIENTS AND METHODS/MATERIALS: A Latin American panel of 11 physicians was assembled to discuss and develop recommendations on the use of INCO for aesthetic treatment based on the literature review and their private medical practice. RESULTS: The panel found that INCO is a highly purified botulinum toxin, without other clostridial proteins (hemagglutinins and nonhemagglutinins). IncobotulinumtoxinA has proven its efficacy and duration over time, maintaining response after multiple treatment cycles. CONCLUSION: This recommendation provides up-to-date information on the use of INCO for aesthetic treatment, focusing on the differential properties of this product regarding its purity, performance, customization, and patient satisfaction.
