NCT01586819

Brief Summary

This study is being done to find out if the use of botulinum toxin prior to a medium strength combination chemical peel (Jessner's peel followed by 35% Trichloroacetic acid peel) will improve the appearance of crow's feet wrinkles when compared to a chemical peel alone. Botulinum toxin type A is a purified substance, derived from a bacteria that block muscular nerve signals. Jessner's Peel, a combination of resorcinol (14g), salicylic acid (14g), and lactic acid (85%) in ethanol (95%), is a superficial chemical peel. These two products/procedures have been FDA approved to improve the appearance of facial wrinkles.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Posttreament Results of Chemical Peel if Botox A is Added as Pre-treatment

    The primary objective of this study is to determine if pre-treating the orbicularis oculi muscles with botulinum toxin A improves the results of medium depth chemical peels when treating lateral canthal rhytides. The primary dependent variable is the four-point Facial Wrinkle Severity Scale (FWSS): Grade 0 = no wrinkles; Grade 1 = mild wrinkles; Grade 2 = moderate wrinkles; and Grade 3 = severe wrinkles.

    Baseline and 12 weeks

  • Change From Pre- to Post-treatment Scores of Chemical Peel if Botox A is Added as Pre-treatment

    The primary objective of this study is to determine if there is a significant difference between the change from pre- to post-treatment scores on the facial wrinkle severity scale between the chemical peel control group and the chemical peel plus Botox A treatment group. The primary dependent variable is the four-point Facial Wrinkle Severity Scale (FWSS): Grade 0 = no wrinkles; Grade 1 = mild wrinkles; Grade 2 = moderate wrinkles; and Grade 3 = severe wrinkles.

    Baseline and 12 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Botulinum Toxin

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The botulinum toxin will be injected into the wrinkles. The injections will take about 10 minutes to complete. Five follow-up visits will be scheduled at 1-7 days, 7-10 days, 2.5-3 weeks, and 12-14 weeks.

Drug: Botulinum Toxin

Chemical Peel Only

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

After cleansing the face with a pre-treatment cleansed composed of water and alcohol, the Jessner's peel solution will be applied to the entire face with a large cotton swab. The mixture will be left in place for a few minutes, and then the face will be wiped clean with water. Next, the TCA peel will be applied around the eyes. After leaving in place for a few minutes, cool, iced washcloths will be applied and the face will be wiped clean with water. Wound care regimen will consist of dilute acetic acid and either Aquaphor or petroleum jelly.

Procedure: Chemical Peel Only

Interventions

The botulinum toxin will be injected into the wrinkles "crow's feet". The injections will take about 10 minutes to complete.
