Figure

  • Fig. 1 Diagram showing proper distribution of line placement in the treatment region. Danger zones over the relative locations of the temporal branch of trigeminal nerves are highlighted in red.

  • Fig. 2 Frontal view of a representative patient before (A) and 12 weeks after treatment (B). Note that superimposed lines and numbers are used to objectively measure brow position. Mean AEH and MEH (C) pre-treatment and 4 and 12 weeks post-treatment. AEH: average eyebrow height, MEH: maximum eyebrow height. ***Significant differences, p<0.0001 vs. before by paired t-test.
