IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company (NYSE: ABBV), will present data highlighting efficacy, safety and patient-reported outcomes across its facial injectable portfolio during the 2024 American Society of Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) Annual Meeting, October 17-20, 2024 in Orlando, Florida. Presentations and a panel discussion demonstrate Allergan Aesthetics' commitment to understanding patient sentiment and developing differentiated treatments to address key aesthetic concerns.

"Allergan Aesthetics has one of the most robust portfolios for aesthetics innovation and continues to lead the industry in innovation. Conducting research that helps ensure safe and optimal outcomes for our differentiated treatments is critical to the future of the aesthetics industry," said, Sara Sangha, Head of U.S. Aesthetics Medical Affairs at Allergan Aesthetics. "As the global aesthetic brand that medical providers and patients know and trust, our commitment to serving and growing the industry with new products, indications and appeal to diverse and new patients is advanced by the research and data presented at ASDS."

Notable presentations, including the below selected as "Best of" Cosmetic, highlight efficacy and safety data of facial injectables, including:

• Safety and patient-reported outcomes from a Phase 3 open-label extension study of onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX® Cosmetic) for the treatment of platysma bands.
• Patient satisfaction after receiving JUVEDERM VOLUMA XC for injection in the temple region to improve moderate to severe temple hollowing in adults over the age of 21.

Additional presentations, including one selected as "Best of" Cosmetic, showcase in-depth detail from a 4,000-subject study across ethnic, racial and gender groups and highlighting key aesthetic concerns by patient segments. The findings from this study, the largest in the U.S., suggest that interest in professionally administered aesthetic treatments for face and body vary among demographic groups and differ from what current aesthetic paradigms suggest.

Data from the following self-identified patient demographics was included:

• Females
  • Black
  • Hispanic/Latina
  • White
  • Asian  
• Males

Allergan Aesthetics is also hosting a thought-provoking conversation around social integrity in the aesthetics industry as featured in 'Moving the Needle on Ethics'—the industry-first global collation of thought-leadership essays from Allergan Aesthetics. The panel will spark an open dialogue focusing on the trends in social media usage to promote aesthetics products and procedures and the importance of ethical practices to industry integrity.

The conversation will be led by author, Dr. Mariwalla, and feature expert voices including Dr. Evan Rieder, double-board-certified dermatologist and psychiatrist, Dr. DiAnne Davis, board-certified dermatologist and Dr. Fatima Fahs, board-certified dermatologist and social media expert as moderator.

This panel will take place on Thursday, October 17^th at 12 noon ET in the Special Events Room.
