Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to show that two FDA-approved botulinum toxin drugs called Xeomin® and Botox® can reduce the severity of vertical lines (wrinkles) that appear between the eyebrows (glabellar frown lines).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group clinical study to investigate the equivalence of incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin®) to onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox®) in the treatment of glabellar frown lines.
