Subject-reported FACE-Q Scales
The subject-reported FACE-Q Appraisal of Lines Between the Eyebrows total score increased after treatment with aboBoNT-A, indicating that subjects were less bothered by their GL appearance post-treatment.

Mean scores in the aboBoNT-A group improved after treatment (+9.1 at month 1) and remained higher than baseline throughout the study (+5.5 at month 6). Meanwhile, in the placebo group, there was a consistent decrease in the mean score after treatment (-1.2 at month 1; -3.5 at month 6 compared to baseline).
