Abstract:

Botulinum Toxin type A (BT-A) injection is probably the most widely performed non-invasive aesthetic procedure. BT-A commercial products that are most commonly used for aesthetic reasons are Botox and Dysport. The units of Botox and Dysport are not interchangeable. Treatment for the glabellar lines was initially the only approved aesthetic indication of BT-A. However, physicians use to treat wrinkles in other facial and neck areas. In the presentation, anatomy, injection points, doses, injection technique and safety measures will be analyzed in order to achieve the best aesthetic results securing also the safety of the procedures. The following indication will be presented; Upper Face: Horizontal forehead lines, Glabellar lines, Crow’s feet and Lateral eye brow lift Mid Face: Lower eyelid wrinkles, Bunny lines, Nasal tip Elevation Lower Face and neck: Perioral wrinkles, Masseter hypertrophy, Dropping mouth corners, Dimpled chin, Platysma bands and Décolleté wrinkles. For each indication, the potential side effects as well as the ways to correct the unwanted problems will be discussed.
