movement will start to come back, and the patient will notice this. Be sure always to keep photos for the records to compare pre and post-treatment. At times patients will call at 6 weeks and state that ALL of their neuromodu­lators wore off, and they need to be re-seen or re-treated. Pictures will come in handy here as it is likely they see the beginning stages of the reinnervation with baby sprouts of the nerve terminals. It is not necessary to wait till all of the patient’s movement is back. Retreat at 3 months before the full expres­sion is restored; this way, they can train the muscles.
Follow up and special consideration
It is common for patients to still demonstrate movement in the area treated after treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the patient in animation and add additional units according to the previously treated muscles with movement. Additional dosing ranges from 2–4 units of Botox, Jeuveau, Xeomin per site, or 5–10 units of Dysport per site.
If the patient only had the glabella complex treated when they frown, they may activate their frontalis muscle. At which time, the injector could advise that the patient take treatment in the forehead. A patient’s potential to need additional dosing at a follow up is an important discussion point to have before the initial treatment. Informed consent starts with ensuring the patient has proper expectations of the treatment goals and effect. Patients can quickly feel like they had a bad or botched injection treatment if the expectations were not identified.
If the glabellar complex is treated without the forehead; the patient’s brows may seem extremely high, peaked, or spocked. If this is the case, then treat the frontalis accordingly. The patient must be informed that this can hap­pen before treatment. The patient needs as much information upfront to make informed consent, plan their budget, and anticipate the progression of the treatment as it takes effect till they get to their end result at 2 weeks out.
If the patient is not appropriately counseled on the use of neuromodula­tion, they will often come back and say that the treatment did not work because they have lines still. The patient must be educated that the treatment is only working on the muscles and the motion and that it is not intended to reduce the static lines. Of course, there is a caveat; in the younger patients, it can reduce the appearance of static lines, but this is not something the injec­tor should promise. Always teach the client that the treatment is for the hyperdynamic muscle movement, not the static line (Table 11.1).

Details on Dysport allergy
If using Dysport and the patient is allergic, the patient will complain of flu like symptoms or feeling run down like they are experiencing sea­sonal allergies or experiencing a sinus infection. Not all patients know that they have a milk protein allergy, and treatment with Dysport uncovers the allergy. Typically no int ervention is needed as it will self-resolve.However,itisappropriatetosuggestoverthecounteranti­histamines or see th eir primary care or alle rgist for further test ing and lifestyle modifi cations.

Fig. 11.4 (A) Before photo. (B) After photo.
This before and after picture in Fig. 11.3A and B demonstrates, inadver­tently, an improvement within the static lines after treatment with neuro­modulators. However, keep in mind, it is not the intended goal. The goal is to prevent the muscle from animating and causing the further break­down of the skin. This male patient in his 40s has a healthy turgor to his skin, some laxity, and photodamage. The skin on his forehead is a bit thicker than females, but not quite as thick as one may commonly cross with male pat­ents. It is appreciable to note the eyelid laxity of this male patient in
Figs. 11.3A and 11.4B. Figs. 11.3A and 11.4A demonstrates the enhanced
lid laxity with animation. After he received neuromodulation and attempts to scowl, note the lack of eyelid depression in both Figs. 11.3B and
11.4B. When a patient has hooded eyes, the injector needs to be cautious

the brow or lid any heavier. In Fig. 11.4B, during the scowl, his lash line on the left side shows his lash line, but in Fig. 11.4A, the scowl obliterates the lash line. These differences may appear subtle in the picture, but they can be night and day in terms of a feeling to the patient. When depressor muscles lose their tension, they can become very heavy, and patients feel like they are carrying them around. With appropriately placed neuromodulation, they can have a sense of a weight lifted. The patient’s side profile view in anima­tion shows a remarkable difference in the lid heaviness in this patient’s after photo. In the after photo his lash line is visible, whereas in the animated before picture the lash line is obliterated. Look at the amount of scleral show in the after photo compared to the before photo. This is representative of a home run for both the patient and the injector. This patient photo is an excellent reminder to take photos and assess the patient from all angles and in animation at all angles. This patient was treated with 24 units of Botox in the glabellar region. He had 4 units in the procerus, 6 units to each medial corrugator, and 4 units to each lateral corrugator.

Thirty-year-old female in good health with some hyperpigmentation from intermittent skin eruptions. The patient’s goal for treatment with neuromo­dulation was to have a more youthful presentation with a lift of the upper face and prevent the rapid onset of aging. Fig. 11.5B demonstrates a nice opening of her eye when she is frowning. This leaves the focal point on her beautiful brown eyes while she is expressing disdain. She is able to main­tain more of a wide-open look to her eyes after treatment with neuromo­dulation as opposed to her before photo in Fig. 11.5A. Her brow position stays more upright in animation after successful treatment with neuromodu­lation as noted in Fig. 11.5B. Her treatment was successful for the reduction of the frown lines, as seen in Fig. 11.5B. She received a total of 20 units of Botox. Four units in her procerus, four units in the medial corrugator. Four units on the right and four units on the left medial corrugator and then two units in each of lateral tails of the right and left corrugator. Then she received two units on each side of the later tail of the orbicularis oculi.

Fig. 11.6 (A) Before photo. (B) After photo.
This female patient was treated for the improvement of moderate to severe frown lines. The brightening of her eye and the lift she has received from the neuromodulation treatment is beautiful. In Fig. 11.6A, her gorgeous spider leg, long lashes are hidden under the skin fold during animation. Once the neuromodulator kicked in, we could capture the beauty of her lashes as they cascade toward her brow was uninterrupted by the laxity of the upper eyelid as seen in Fig. 11.6B. Take note that there is a noticeable reduction of the frown lines between the eyebrows and the ancillary services that the neuro­modulation treatment provided in Fig. 11.6B. Look at the medial brow where the depressor supercilii rests and look at the wrinkling in that tissue space in Fig. 11.6A. Fig. 11.6A shows three strong deep creases. If this area were left untreated, it would become static lines at rest. In Fig. 11.6B, those three medial lines at the beginning of her brow are gone. This reduction of creasing changes the light’s ability to reflect in different areas highlighting a

youthful appearance. She received a total of 20 units of Botox for the treat­ment of her glabellar region. She received 4 units in her procerus, 4 units in each side of her medial corrugator, and 4 units in each side of the lateral cor­rugator muscles. Also, she received a small amount for a brow lift. Each lat­eral tail of the orbicularis oculi received 2 units per side.

Fig. 11.7 (A) Before photo. (B) After photo.
This is a young man has thick olive toned sebaceous skin. He is a youthful male seeking treatment for prevention as well as restoration. He has devel­oped some static lines, given the thickness and strength of his animation. In
Figs. 11.7B and 11.8B you can see significant improvement in the hooding
of his eyes; beyond the obvious reduction of glabella activity. Preneuromo­dulation in Fig. 11.7A his brows force the lids down and create a heaviness over the eye in this young patient. Yet, in Figs. 11.7B and 11.8B, while he is in animation, one can see much more of his sclera and the iris of his eye, and even his pupil. Creating openness gives the impression of youth, awake, alert, and vibrance. This is where we can begin to attach emotions to the findings just as the patient would. So far, each patient shown has presented differently, even though their goals have all essentially been the same, main­tenance, prevention, and youth. A tremendous amount of hyperdynamic movement is not necessarily evident in the glabellar region in
Fig. 11.7A. However, what is most prominent is the drawn down pulling

of the brows medially. Fig. 11.8A demonstrates the dynamic expression lines better than forward-facing. His treatment was to lift the skin folds off his lash line to create openness in animation instead of the forceful contraction noted. This shows the importance of animated photos in every position with all animation variations such as a scowl, smile, resting, surprised, and sad face. This young man received 24 units total in his glabellar complex. There were 4 units in his procerus, 6 units in each medial corrugator both right and left, and 4 units in each lateral tail of his corrugator. Given the natural flattening of the brow and how it compressed so much to obliterate the patient eyes when he scowled, he was treated with 2 units of Botox in each lateral tail of the orbicularis oculi.
