ResumoBotulinum neurotoxins are the most popular non-surgical treatments for aesthetic indications, but there is uncertainty about whether certain formulations are comparable in efficacy and safety and can be substituted for one another by a simple one to one dose conversion ratio. An expert panel of French practitioners was convened to establish a consensus on the clinical equivalence in efficacy and safety of OnabotulinumtoxinA (900 KDa) and IncobotulinumtoxinA (neurotoxin free from complexing proteins - 150 KDa). The consensus was divided into three sections incorporating a biological, bibliographic and clinical analysis of the two toxins. This included a review of the published data that have directly compared the two toxins for aesthetic indications and a survey of the panel's extensive clinical experience with the two toxins in terms of efficacy and safety. All panel members reviewed and endorsed the content of each section. Among this expert panel of French aesthetic physicians and biologists there was consensus that OnabotulinumtoxinA and IncobotulinumtoxinA are clinically equivalent in terms of efficacy and safety, and that a switch from one drug to the other can be made using a simple 1:1 conversion ratio.
