Abstract
Botulinum toxin is the leading cosmetic procedure in aesthetic medicine.Its duration and magnitude of effects has been proved through time. Nevertheless, in the last two years, non-scientific reports suggested that the duration and the effectiveness of botulinum toxin A (BoNTA) treatment outcomes may be decreasing, regardless BoNTA type. In our paper, we describe the results of a survey of more than 400 healthcare professionals, mostly from Latin America, about the duration of the effects and the effectiveness of treatment with BoNTA in the last two years.
