Notas del Editor

The exotoxin of Clostridium botulinum has a firm place in many areas of neurology and ophthalmology. Recently its use in aesthetic medicine has become an established procedure as well.

This book takes the exponential growth in interest into account. All known indications are presented in clear and concise form together with specific tips and tricks. Each indication is visualized by means of highly expressive illustrations.

It deals with the pharmacological and toxicological principles of importance to the treatment provider as well as with the side effects and risks involved in the therapy:

- history of clinical and cosmetic use
- pharmacological and toxicological principles
- cosmetic indications by region (glabella, forehead, eyebrows, periocular lines, nose, perioral lines, chin, throat)
- BTX-A as adjuvant (after surgical brow-lift, for mild brow ptosis, before/after blepharoplasty, for rejuvination procedures such as laser skin resurfacing, after surgical facelift)
