Essentials of neuromodulation
Fig. 11.9 (A) Before photo. (B) After photo.
This early 40s patient was treated for frown lines to elevate her brows and take care of the angry look she gets during concentration. Patients will often describe the glabellar region’s expression as an angry face, a quizzical face, or a concentration face. We are beginning to see the repeating theme here with emotions tied to the expression on their face. As you can note between
Fig. 11.9A and B represents a slight under correction. As one can see in Fig. 11.9B, there is a touch of movement in the medial and lateral corruga-
tor. She was initially treated with 20 units of Botox. Four units were placed in her procerus, four units in each side of the medial corrugator, and four units in each lateral portion of her corrugator. Additionally, 2 units were placed on each side of the lateral tail of the orbicularis muscle. In
Fig. 11.9B, movement is still noticeable, especially in the corrugator’s medial
portion, so she received an additional 12 units in her glabellar complex to complete the treatment to satisfaction. She constantly chews gum, which can cause an increase in the patient’s dosing due to the constant mobility

of all the facial muscles involved in chewing. It is important to tell clients that this side of medicine is both art and science, and at times, it will be necessary to add additional units to complete the look or compensate for the natural compensatory mechanism of a neighboring muscle.

This young female had beautiful, healthy skin that had been well kept from the sun. She has sought out neuromodulation to preserve her youth and hopes for a bit of a brow lift. She is an excellent example of a younger client looking to get into the anti-aging process early on to avoid having to repair later in life. Her mindset was to maintain and prevent aging. We did not utilize much neuromodulation for her. Eighteen units of Botox total. Four units in the procurus, 4 in each side of the medial corrugator, and two units in each lateral corrugator. She had a slight asymmetry on the left brow seen in Fig. 11.10A, so 2 units of Botox was placed in her left lateral tail of the orbicularis oculi to elevate that brow at rest and help prevent it from drop­ping down when she smiles and or scowls. When she scowls, the left lid becomes a touch heavier than her left as noted in Fig. 11.10A, and the lid

lays over the lash line. Fig. 11.11A and B demonstrates the neoromodulation effect from an alternate angle. Assessments and photos are essential to be taken in all ages and in all forms of animation. The lateral tail of the orbi­cularis oculi treatment was to help lift the tissue off of the lash line and create a greater sense of alertness or a more awake look; some may refer to it as brighter.

Here is another very young lady looking to prevent the formation of static lines in her glabellar complex. Her brows are asymmetrical, and this is exac­erbated upon animation seen in Fig. 11.12A. Bilaterally her lids become heavy when she scowls; noticed in Fig. 11.12A, there is much less heaviness, and the attention has been shifted from the asymmetrical inner brows seen in
Fig. 11.12B. We are able to see more of her eyes in Fig. 11.12B. Overall she
had a gentle softening in the area and a general improvement of the asym­metry and reduced heaviness of the lids with animation as seen in
Fig. 11.12B. She received 16 units of Botox in the glabellar complex and
4 to treat the lateral orbicularis to help elevate the brow’s tail. Her treatment was completed with 4 units in the procerus, 4 units in each side of the medal corrugator and 2 units in each later portion of the corrugator. She was thrilled with her appearance after treatment and is excited to repeat her injections in 3 months to help prevent the signs of aging and maintain the lifted brows.

Neuromodulation for the frontalis-forehead wrinkles
The activation of the frontalis muscle creates the transverse rhytids on the forehead. The use of neuromodulation in this area reduces the transverse rhytids, aka forehead lines, by inhibiting the muscle contraction, which smooths the skin overlying the muscles treated. The frontal muscle is directly responsible for the patient’s eyebrow shape and position. Careful attention needs to be given when treating this area. Proper injection technique in this area will yield a brow lift, and improper technique could result in an eyebrow and or lid ptosis.
Indication for treatment
Neuromodulation for injection is indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe forehead lines associated with the hyperdynamic activity of the frontal muscle in adults.

over-promise the correction of asymmetry or a significant eyebrow lift as the muscle can only be elevated or depressed as much as the size allows.
2. Dermatacholsis-excessive skin laxity or baggy skin of the upper eyelid and or of the lower lid. This condition is a contraindication for the treat­ment of the frontalis muscle with neuromodulation. As the injector becomes more experienced, this can be reconsidered for treatment.

Treatment goals
The goal of this area is to reduce or obliterate dynamic forehead lines. Over time the static lines can improve with continued use of neuromodulation. If an eyebrow lift is desired, then a partial dose reduction in the lateral portion of the forehead will be necessary for treatment. It is the author’s suggestion that the area only be treated if the glabellar complex is also treated. If only the frontalis muscle is treated, than the frontalis will become depressed and will rest on the glabellar region, which is a naturally depressed area. By treating the glabellar with the frontalis, the injector can enhance the elevation and prevent a sense of heaviness. It is common for a 2-week follow-up to main­tain and or create a good eyebrow position.

Assessment
The patient must be assessed at rest and in motion. Ask them to frown, smile, and raise their eyebrows. Watch the patient as they speak and assess them while they are naturally animating in conversation. Assess for dermatocha­lasis (skin laxity of the upper and lower eyelid). It is vital to be especially mindful of the dermatochalasis of the upper eyelid area. Further, look for eyebrow (low set droopy brows) and eyelid ptosis. Patients with these con­ditions often have significant transverse forehead lines as they utilize the forehead to compensate for the laxity in the brow and lid. These are the type of patients that perhaps one would treat the glabellar complex first and then consider treating the forehead at their 2-week follow-up. Neuromodulation of the frontalis muscle will soften the dynamic expression lines, but it will likely create a worsening of the lid and brow ptosis, further exacerbating the dermatochalasis. Once the ptosis is enhanced or exacerbated by the neu­romodulation treatment, it can make the patients feel like that area is heavy, and it can even change their peripheral vision. As experience and wisdom are gained, providers may choose to treat this more challenging patient (Fig. 11.13).

Pre-Procedure steps
1. Consultation
2. Have patient sign consent and pre- and post-procedure guidelines
3. Photographs at 3 angles at rest and animated 50 degrees both left and
right 45 degrees both left and right straight on
4. Have patient comfortable seated in an upright position
5. Ensure adequate overhead lighting
6. Mark out danger zones
7. Additionally, mark out treatment areas with a marking pencil. Be sure
you do not inject through the marking pencil as you can tattoo the patient
8. Calculate dosing according to desired look, anatomy, and area being treated
133Neuromodulation injection technique procedural steps

9. Draw ups medication being sure not to dull your needle by touching the sides of the glass bottle or going through the rubber stopper with your intended injection needle
10. Cleanse the face thoroughly with a double cleanse and then chlorhex­idine or alcohol (allow to dry)
Technique
1. Identify the treatment danger zones.
2. Mark out the treatment zone paying close attention to the lateral edges of
the frontalis muscle and the peak of the brow.
3. Be sure the patient is still cleansed and has not touched the treatment area
since proper cleansing was performed in the pre-procedural steps. Have the patient activate the muscles to be treated and begin in the center of the frontalis muscle. Insert the needle at a 30 degree angle into the medial portion of the frontalis. You will inject into the muscle ridge not the crease. The belly of the muscle lives in the ridge not the crease. With gentle pressure you will instill 2 units of Botox, Jeuveau, Xeomin or 5 units of Dysport. It is common that a patient would need another injec­tion point above near the hair line. A common novoice mistake would be to skip this injection and the patient is left smooth everywhere but that one spot. This is a dead giveaway that the patient had treatment. Most patients want to go unnoticed.
4. The injector will then continue along the frontalis muscle moving the
injection points up or with consideration of the brow position. Each injection point will typically be 2 units of Botox, Jeuveau, Xeomin or
2.5 to 5 units of Dysport. There is not a clean cut dose or placement in this treatment area. Many considerations play a role for this special area. As you move along to the lateral sides of the frontalis muscle the spacing will be 2–4 cm apart and the smaller the forehead the closer you will be to the hairline and less injections will be performed.
5. When you are above the maximal point of eyebrow peak, place your
injection 2 cm below the hairline. It may be necessary to cut the dose in half for this injection point.
6. Repeat on the contralateral side.
7. Do NOT press, rub, or manipulate the wheels of product. If the patient
happens to bleed you may apply gentle pressure to stop the bleeding. GENTLE!!! It is not advised that you manipulate the product from the site as adverse events and product migration can occur.
