RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The use of esthetic products by millennials is increasing, yet published clinical trial data in this population are limited. OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy and safety of prabotulinumtoxinA for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines in millennial and nonmillennial patients. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Post hoc analyses were performed on the pooled population of all patients treated with 20U prabotulinumtoxinA in the 3 single-dose Phase III glabellar line clinical studies. Patients were grouped by age: millennials (born 1982-2000) versus nonmillennials (born ≤1981). One key efficacy end point was the proportion of responders with a ≥1-point improvement from baseline at maximum frown on the 4-point Glabellar Line Scale. Adverse events were also summarized. RESULTS: Responder rates among millennials (n = 65) were greater than those of nonmillennials (n = 668) by 7.7% on average across all visits; differences were statistically significant at Day 90. Responder rates at Day 90 were 90.2% and 76.1%, respectively (absolute difference of 14.0%, p = .01). Headache was the most common treatment-related adverse event, occurring in 9.0% and 9.4% of millennials and nonmillennials, respectively. CONCLUSION: A single dose of 20U prabotulinumtoxinA administered for the treatment of glabellar lines was similarly well-tolerated by both millennials and nonmillennials; overall, it was more efficacious in millennials.
