Description

This text is for anyone interested in the use of Botox and dermal filler agents for a wide variety of functional and minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedures. The storage, reconstitution, and mechanism of action of botulinum toxin or Botox are all thoroughly explained. A thorough analysis is provided detailing the underlying facial muscle anatomy that is required and how physicians can integrate this procedure into their current practice. An additional section is also included detailing injectable filler agents, a more effective form of treatment for lines that are present at rest. As the demand for less invasive facial rejuvenation products and treatments continue to increase, Botox injections are emerging as the popular choice. While the initial public reaction was guarded, the procedure is now common, as millions of individuals around the world are pursuing the cosmetic application of Botox for wrinkle reduction. The text utilizes a "how to" approach in teaching the ways Botox can remedy many functional disorders and conditions.
