Core Tip
Core tip: While there are different types of injection materials available, it is unknown which one is superior as few head to head studies have been performed between the newer agents. It is important to inform patients that treatment with injectable agents is not as effective as surgical treatment, and that such agents might necessitate additional and repeated administrations in order to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.
