The most used concentrations were 10\u201320\u00a0u\/cc of OBA. Number of injection points varied from 4 (forehead and periorbital areas) to 999 (entire face) with 2\u00a0mm to 2\u00a0cm apart. Adjuvant treatment modalities were cross\u2010linked hyaluronic acid, intense pulsed laser, and Fraxel laser.
