AB SUMMARY  POINTSWhat’s  Important?All  BTX-A  work  the  same  way  and  are  basically  interchangeable.What’s  New?A  new  BTX-A  with  a  stabilizing  peptide  called  RTP004  from  Revance  has  joined  the  market.BTX-A  tends  to  “prejuvenate”  the  skin  and  prevent  aging  when  used  consistently.What’s  Coming?More  research  is  necessary  to  determine  how  to  titrate  diffusion  and  how  much  diffusion  is  preferred  for  cosmetic  indications.More  studies  are  needed  to  determine  the  safety  of  intradermal  BTX-A  to  treat  fine  lines.Preliminary  data  suggest  BTX-A  has  an  anti-aging  effect  separate  from  its  ability  to  immobilize  muscles.  More  data  are  needed  to  understand  the  “prejuvenation”  abilities  of  BTX-A.Shorter  acting  toxins  are  coming.Studies  evaluating  the  use  of  BTX-A  to  treat  rosacea  and  acne  as  well  as  to  reduce  oil  secretion  are  on  the  horizon.
