Main description:

Botox continues to be the number one cosmetic procedure performed worldwide. Physicians from a wide range of specialties - not just dermatologists but also OBGYNs, primary care practitioners and ophthalmologists - are eager to learn from results-focused educational material written by leading practitioners.

Most botox books focus solely on injection technique. Handbook of Botulinum Toxins for Aesthetic Indications: Theory and Practice describes current techniques, but focuses on securing optimum results in different patient types, e.g. patients of different ethnicities, patients with thick skin, heavy brows, and so on. In addition, the book covers hot topics such as the use of new types of neurotoxins, the problem of counterfeit products, and combining neurotoxins with other modalities such as fillers and lasers.

Edited by a recognized educator in this area, and taking a unique problem-based approach, Handbook of Botulinum Toxins for Aesthetic Indications gives practical guidance on the use of different strategies in different patient types to ensure the best possible aesthetic results.

Unique, practical emphasis on treatment strategies for different patient types
Includes coverage of new neurotoxins recently approved for use
Highly illustrated with colour photographs and detailed drawings showing injection sites and technique
