[Botulinum toxin: An important complement for facial rejuvenation surgery].

Area of Science:

• Aesthetic Medicine
• Neurology
• Dermatology

Background:

• Botulinum toxin type A is widely used for cosmetic facial treatments.
• Understanding facial anatomy and toxin action is crucial for optimizing injection techniques.
• Current methods carry risks of complications like eyebrow and eyelid ptosis.

Purpose of the Study:

• To introduce a new, refined injection procedure for botulinum toxin type A.
• To enhance the safety, efficiency, and scope of botulinum toxin A applications in facial aesthetics.
• To explore novel treatment areas and achieve improved rejuvenation outcomes.

Main Methods:

• Development of a new injection protocol based on detailed functional facial anatomy.
• Utilization of variable botulinum toxin A concentrations tailored to specific muscles.
• Application of the technique to upper face, lateral canthus, nose, jawline, and neck regions.
• Inclusion of meso botox for dermal receptor treatment.

Main Results:

• Reduced incidence of eyebrow and eyelid ptosis compared to conventional methods.
• Increased efficiency and broader applicability of botulinum toxin A across multiple facial muscles with fewer units.
• Successful rejuvenation effects observed at the lateral canthus, nasal alar base, jawline, and neck.
• Achieved skin smoothing through meso botox, leveraging the anticholinergic properties of botulinum toxin A.

Conclusions:

• The novel botulinum toxin A injection technique offers improved safety and efficacy in facial aesthetics.
• Variable concentration and precise anatomical targeting expand treatment possibilities and patient outcomes.
• This refined approach provides a minimally invasive alternative for facial rejuvenation and skin texture improvement.
