Botox tx areas + dosage + administration Flashcards
off label?
means more to the manufacturerer of a drug
ex - allergen manufacturer of botox
- they have submitted for permission to sell botox - can only supply for applications they applied for
so only advertise for those on label applications
off label comes into play when
if data supports use of a product in an area - as a clinician you are in rights to use it for that
- it has to be firmly embedded in science
(people out there that are selling things that arent under knowledge)
off label with scientific bedding?
can use for the purposes
factors that influence beauty
7 main ones
- facial shape - chin, cheeks, symmetry (phi)
- forhead height
- eyebrow shape
- eye size - inner eye distance
- nose shape
- lips - lenght and heght
- skin clarity texture and color
new patient assessment
start by?
start by looking at skin quaity skin laity facial fat assessment - full or empty muscles - hyperdynamic or iniimate
facial assessment
all angles to look at
dynamic vs static rhytids
brow position and contour
muscle hyperactivity
eyelid ptosis
facial weakness - asymmetry
contour defects
lines, creases
patient preferences
dynamic rhytids
raise eyebrows and see the lines
static rhytids
lines in face - that stay on rest

safety profile
used in clinical
safety profile
used in clinical since 1970’s
no known lethal dose
human lethal dose?
unknown – doses required to cause systemic side effects are difficult to predict
when botox used for dystonias and a lot / higher doses
may see some side effects potentiallt
the botox appointment consists of
discussion and diagnoisis
pre-treatment phtogrpahs
informed consent
mark injection sites
decide on dosing
prepare botox for injection then inject
post tx instructions
re appoint for follow up (suggests 2 weeks)
expect appointments to last 15-20 minutes
forhead rhytids
only the horizotnal bands
- bands go completely across all the way up
galia - all the way up
forhead rhytids treat with?
frontalis injection
only the horizotnal bands
- bands go completely across all the way up
galia - all the way up
frontalis muscle
dosing?
only elevator of the forehead
inserts in eyebrow skin
elevates brow strongly
elevates eye weakly
botox = 4-25 U
moderatley deep
no standard injection pattern and not common to be bifid - usually uninterupted accros frontal bone
adverse events with frontalis
overly smooth artifical appearance
brow ptosis and eyelid ptosis in patients using frontalis as accessory eyelid elevator
only thing that picks it up is frontalis
if tell frontalis to stop lifting
brow complex will fall down more if give too much
treat the glabellar complex as well if treat the frontalis
- can get more ptosis
adverse events of frontalis
excessive denervation will cause an OVERLY SMOOTH ARTIFICIAL APPEARANCE
as well as BROW PTOSIS
and eyelid PTOSIS
in patients usin frontalis as an accessory eyelid elevator!
*if botox in fontalis is not distributed laterally
peaking of the eyebrows will occur
if it is not distributed laterally enough
peaked brow in men
prob didnt get lateral enough with frontalis injection
deep vs hooded eyes
can you see palbreal crease?
- more likely deep set eyes
over due frontalis? advantage in
as tissue descends - has a place to go
advantage in deep set eyes
glabellar complex muscles + function
corrugator supercilii (bilateral)
midline procerus
bilateral depressor supercilli
MAJOR BROW DEPRESSOR
corrugator muslcles
corrugator supercilli
wrinkles forhead vertically
see 1’s or 11’s with contraction
procerus muscle
aides in pulling skin between eyebrows downwards
HORIZONTAL BANDS / WRINKLES ACROSS BRIDGE OF NOSE
*part of globellar complex
horizontal frowner?
vertical muscles -
lines perpinduclar to their name!!
vertical may need more botox where
procerus muslce
