Essentials of neuromodulation
Before and after photos
Fig. 11.42 (A) Before photo. (B) After photo.
This patient was treated for the concern of hollowing in the oral commis­sures as well as feeling as if her smile was becoming down turned especially in the face of animation. In the patients animated before picture it is noted that when she makes a sad face she has a significant down turning of the corners of her mouth. Over time if this is left untreated patients will have a break­down and loss of fat in this area which creates a hollowing first and then eventually a fold will develop leaving a static crease in the skin. In
Fig. 11.42B the patient is still able to express sadness but the force is
decreased. Many patients will benefit form neuromodulation as well as filler for this area. Combining treatment can be the best restorative medicine. It is essential that only the Depressor anguli oris be injected otherwise if the depressor labii inferiors is accident injected the patients bottom lip on the affected side will ride up over the bottom teeth.

Neuromodulation technique of the chin
Neuromodulation of the mentalis for a dimpled chin and a robust mental crease
The lower face’s aging process is unique as the lower jaw begins to push for­ward, and the mentalis muscle will begin to engage to hold it back. The mentalis engagement will cause a prominent mental crease, and the devel­opment of a peach pit chin can occur. Dimpling of the skin is corrected by treating the mentalis muscle to help relax the muscle. It can also aid in the illusion of an elongated jaw when that muscle is relaxed.
Indications for treatment
Neuromodulation for injection is indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of then puckered, cobble toning, or peach pit skin of the chin. It can further elongate the jaw by dropping the chin if it is cooled in an upward sigh fashion. The mental crease will become more pronounced and will present a static line if the mentalis is not relaxed with neuromodulation.

Special considerations
This treatment area can cause some unique presentations while the neuro­modulator begins to work. One side can work faster than the other, along with overcompensation. Treatment of the mentalis should be considered an advanced area, as managing the patient expectations can be challenging. Much like the masseter muscle, the mentalis muscle is deep muscles, and so the injection depth will be deeper but not on the bone.
Complimentary locations to increase the efficacy
Orbicularis oris for the smokers lines Platysmal Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO)
Treatment goals
Partial inhibition of the mentalis muscle to improve skin texture, elongate the jawline profile, soften the mental crease.
Dosing
Women total dose 2–6 units; 1–3 units per side Botox, Jeuveau and Xeomin. Women total dose 5–15 units; 2.5–7.5 units per side units upper and lower Dysport. Men total dose 2–8 units; 1–4 units per side Botox, Jeuveau and Xeomin. Men total dose 5–15 units; 2.5–7.5 units per side Dysport.

Assessment
The patient should be assessed in animation and at rest. Have the patient force a smile as hard as possible. Then have them force a downturned smile. The treatment zone will fall within 2 cm of the mandibular margin. When the patient forces the downturn smile, a hollow will be created, and then it will be noticed posterior to the hollow a significant bulge. This is the land­mark for the injection to be placed. If the patient can not make this face on demand, it is not advised to treat the area. As the act of the movement is how the injector pinpoints the location for anatomical boundaries.
Pre-procedure steps
1. Consultation
2. Have patient sign consent and pre and post-procedure guidelines
3. Photographs at three angles at rest and animated (i) 50 degrees both left and right
(ii) 45 degrees both left and right
(iii) Straight on
4. Have the patient comfortably 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
not to inject through the marking pencil as it can tattoo the patient.

8. Calculate dosing according to the desired look, anatomy, and area being treated.
9. Draw up the medication, being sure not to dull the needle by touching the sides of the glass bottle, or going through the rubber stopper with the intended injection needle.
10. Cleanse the patients face thoroughly with a double cleanse and then chlorhexidine or alcohol (allow to dry).
Technique
1. Identify the treatment danger zones.
2. Locate the mentalis muscle by having the patient pout or pull up
their chin.
3. Identify the point of injection and place the treatment markings. This injection will be done without the patient animating. Depending on the strength of the muscle, it may be necessary to make three points of injection. The safe zone will be in the medial portion of the chin. Assess the patient’s natural fullness of their central lip. Typically injec­tions will stay in that landmark. Another landmark that can be used is drawing two straight lines down from the outer portion of the nostril, then assessing the mentalis safety zone. Staying in this target zone with the injections will keep the treatment delivered in the safe zone min­imizing adverse events. Keep in mind that the DLI is on either side of the mentalis and supports the bottom lip in an upright position.
4. The injector should be positioned on the treatment side or in front of the patient if seating allows.
5. Treat the patient with their head resting back against the headrest of the chair and eyes closed.
6. Be sure that the patient is still cleansed and has not touched the treat­ment area since proper cleansing performed in the pre-procedural steps.
7. This injection should be performed while the muscle is at rest.
8. Inject about halfway to the needle and deposit 2 units of Botox, Xeo-
min, or Jeuveau or 5 units of Dysport into the mentalis on the right side.
9. Repeat the same injections on the contralateral side.
10. Should the patient require a third dose, you will place it midline to the
lip and just above the right and left side injection points at the peak of the bulge when the patient animates.
11. There are times when only a single injection point is necessary, and it is typically the medial injection point. If a single injection point is neces­sary, 5 units of Botox, Xeomin or Jeuveau or 10 units of Dysport are
219Neuromodulation injection technique procedural steps

standard. The injection will be deep and straight in with a slight angle. Always insert the needle to the desired position and then slowly press on the plunger. Once the dose has been delivered, remove the needle.
12. Do not press or rub on the injection sites. If the patient happens to bleed, apply gentle pressure to stop the bleeding. GENTLE. It is not advised to manipulate the product from the site as adverse events, and product migration can occur.
Results
Softened mental crease Smoother skin over the chin
Elongated jawline profile Within 3–10 days, patients will start to see gradual improvement of the dynamic and static wrinkles in the treated area. At no time during the 2 weeks should more neuromodulator be injected in the same area. It takes a full 2 weeks for the product to take effect. All good things come to those who wait. At 2 weeks’ it is strongly advised that the patient come back in for follow-up evaluation. Discuss how the patient feels, how they like their results. Take after photos in the exact positions as the before photos.
Duration
Neuromodulators last anywhere from 2 to 4 months. The average duration is about 3 months. It is essential to the clients to let them know they will not be completely frozen the entire duration of the treatment. It will take about 2 weeks to become fully effective, and then at about 6–8 weeks, the neu­romodulator will start to “break.” Break, meaning a little bit of expression or movement will start to come back, and the patient will notice this. Be sure to keep photos for the records so that they can be referred to for comparison. At times, patients will call at 6 weeks and state that all of their neuromodu­lator 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
At the 2 week follow up.
It is common for some patients to still demonstrate movement in the area treated after treatment. Persistent wrinkling can be caused by inadequate

dosing. Adding more neuromodulation at the follow up will help to com­plete the look in some instances.
If deep static wrinkling is persistent, educate the patient on the need for repeat treatments and or laser resurfacing. If adjacent hyperdynamic move­ment is the cause, it is advised to treat additional areas (Table 11.10).

221
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 intervention is needed as it will self-resolve. However, it is appro­priate to suggest over the counter antihistamines or see their primary care or allergist for further testing and lifestyle modifications.

This patient was bothered by the dimpling of her chin along with the devel­opment of a static mental crease. When she would make a downturned face or perhaps a sour face, so to speak, her chin dimpled extensively see

the profile, soften the skin’s dimpling, and prevent the static mental crease
(Figs. 11.44 and 11.45). In her Fig. 11.43B, she cannot pull up the chin to
cause the dimpling, and it can be noted that her chin is elongated, enhancing her overall profile. The safety zone here would be to draw an imaginary line from the outside corner of the nares (alar groove) straight down. The men­talis muscle resides in this space. If the treatment is to lateral to the safe zone, the depressor labii inferiors could be accidentally injected, causing the bot­tom lip (from the corner of the mouth to the midline) to be forced unnat­urally up over the bottom teeth. The other danger zone here is the depressor anguli oris muscle. If this muscle is unintentionally injected, a corner of the mouth could be forced upward in an unnatural position. Refer back to the anatomical diagram of the lower face and note the mentalis is two columellar like muscles. They work in unison but need their own individual treatment.

Neuromodulation technique of platysmal bands
AKA the Nefertiti neck lift
Neuromodulation of the platysmal bands is done to soften the tension in the neck and relax the bands, so they do not add stretch to the skin, increasing the rapid onset of the aged appearance of skin laxity.
