224 Essentials of neuromodulation
https://t.me/medicina_free
Indications for treatment
Neuromodulation for injection is indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of neckbands.
Emotion/movement
Tension
Muscles in treatment area
Lateral Platysmal Anterior platysma Sternocleindomastoid Laryngeal muscles
Muscles to be treated in the targeted zone
Lateral Pltaysma
Special considerations
It is essential to properly place the injection points. If the injection points are not accurate, it can make it extremely difficult for the patient to lift their head and swallow. Poorly placed injection points can inadvertently affect the deeper muscles or the laryngeal muscles. It tends to be easier to treat this area in animation. The band will be resistant to the needle and will feel like a rope or chord. It is thought that the constant strain and stretch from the pla­tysmal bands are partly responsible for the skin laxity in the neck as the patient ages. By inhibiting the band’s activity, it is thought that the elasticity of the skin can be preserved (Fig. 11.46).

Equipment
Medication Botox Jeuveau Xeomin Dysport Bacteriostatic saline or 0.9% preservative-free saline 3 mL luer lock syringe 27 Gauge luer lock 1 1/2 needle 2 2 non-woven gauze Alcohol Ice Bottle opener Marking pencil BD insulin Syringe 31 gauge ultra-thin 0.5-in. needle
Non-sterile gloves If needed, hemostat helps remove tight needles from Luer lock or remove the metal portion of the bottle of neuromodulator.
Assessment
Have the patient strain the neck to elicit the bands. Have them make a “lizard neck,” or say EEK. Mark the area. The safety area will be 1 cm lateral to the trachea and extends up to the commissure lines and back down to the clavicle. The placement should be 2 cm inferior to the mandible and at least 4 cm to the clavicle.
Pre-procedure steps
1. Consultation
2. Have patient sign consent and pre and post-procedure guidelines
227Neuromodulation injection technique procedural steps
https://t.me/medicina_free
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 Platysmal bands and mark out the safety zones.
3. The injector should be positioned on the treatment side or in front of the
patient if seating allows.
4. Treat the patient with their head resting back against the headrest of the
chair and eyes closed.
5. Be sure that the patient is still cleansed and has not touched the treatment
area since proper cleansing performed in the pre-procedural steps.
6. This injection should be performed while the muscle is animated.
7. Have the patient animate and firmly grasp the band and directly inject the
needle 2 mm into the band and inject 2 units of Botox, Xeomin, or Jeu­veau or 5 units of Dysport per site. Depending on the band’s length, it will be necessary to inject three to six sites about 1–2 cm from the pre­vious injection.
8. Repeat this for each band.
9. 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 platysmal bands reducing the tension seen within the neck.
Improved contour of the neck. Within 3–10 days patients will start to see gradual improvement of the dynamic and static wrinkles in 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 time 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 (Table 11.11).

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.

Before and after photos
Fig. 11.47 (A) Before photo. (B) After photo.
This patient has developed some skin laxity of her neck and submittal area. She was partially treated to show the compensatory mechanism of action when on ly part of the area is treate d. In Fig. 11.47A, five bands are noted. Her initial treatment was of the band just off-center to the left. Then in the after photo, it is noted that the remaining four bands have become even more hyperactive, see Fig. 11.4 7B. She received 12 units of Botox in her band just to the left of midline. A complete treatment would have include d all five bands and a total of three injec­tions with 2 units of Botox a piece in each band. Moving toward the side of the neck, it is an area to use caution in as it is necessary to avoid injecting into the Sternocleindomastoid as they can have significant heaviness holding their neck upri ght. Another area to take note of is the laryngeal muscles surrounding the larynx. If these muscles are injected it can lead to hoarseness and difficulty swallowing. See the picture above for underlying structures.

Hyperhidrosis injection technique
Hyperhidrosis is an idiopathic medical condition in which excessive sweat­ing is produced by the sweat glands of the palms, axillae, and or the soles of one’s feet. When antiperspirants are not enough to control sweating and odor, neuromodulation can help. One’s thermoregulatory system is not altered in other body areas when neuromodulation is appropriately injected into the palms, soles of the feet, or the axillae. Onabotulinum toxin A is cur­rently the only neuromodulation that is FDA approved for hyperhidrosis. Patients can expect 4–12 months’ worth of relief from their excessive sweat­ing when treating for hyperhidrosis. Results kick in within 4 to 5 days. With this treatment, the sweat glands are infused with the toxin, thus inhibiting the acetylcholine release, which in turn decreases the patient’s sweet production.
Indication
Primary Axillary Hyperhydrosis Treatment is anticipated to last roughly 6 months.
Safety
Be aware that the safe dose of Botox, Xeomin, and Jeaveau in 3 months is 360 units. Be sure that the dose is calculated in combination with the patient’s other aesthetic procedures to be sure they are within the safe doe threshold.
Pricing
It is not advised to price this by unit but, better yet, the treatment. The range is $999–$1200.
Target anatomy
Sweat glands
The sweat glands are located within the dermis. The gland is affected by the inhibition of acetylcholine, which decreases sweat production.
Reconstitution will differ here compared to the treatment of other areas. The Botox, Xeomin, or Jeuveau will be reconstituted with 5 mL of bacteriostatic saline. Resulting in 2 units per 0.1 cc. Each injection wil l be 0.1 mL.

Treating the axillae
Perform a Minors’ Iodine or a starch test. The patient should shave the area and be prepped and cleaned as per pro­tocol. They should refrain from the use of deodorant for 24 h prior to the treatment. Lay the patient flat and have them raise their arm above their head to expose the area. Clean the area with alcohol and let dry. Paint betadine solution on the patient’s skin and allow to completely dry. Sprinkle corn starch on the area and brush off the excess. Wait roughly 10–20 min. The sweat will begin to slowly turn the corn starch and betadine mixture purple in the areas of increased sweating. Once the area has turned purple or blue, outline the outer edges. The outer perimeter will be the treatment boundary, and all injections will be within this zone. Gently wash off the betadine and starch while protecting the outline. Always properly clean the skin before an injection. Reconstitute a 100 unit vial of OnabotulinumtoxinA with 5 cc of Bac­teriostatic saline. The larger the volume of diluent, the great the spread.
Treatment of axillae
50 units of Botox, Xeomin or Jeuveau will be used per side for a total of 100 units. Inject 0.1 to per injection point about 20 injection points per side.
2 mm deep. 1–2 cm apart.
Bevel up. Lay the needle flat to the skin surface and only 2 mm deep so that the product’s wheel can be visualized. Change the needle every four to six injections to keep the patient feeling comfortable and to minimize bruising. Repeat the treatment on the contralateral side.
*Note if betadine and starch are not available at the time of treatment, follow the hair follicle pattern as that is typically the target zone in the axillae.
Each palm, sole, or axillae will take 50 units per side. Touch-ups may be needed, and the patient should be warned about the
potential need for additional units so they can adequately plan their budget.

Treatment of the palms
The iodine starch test is not necessary when treating the entire palm.
Always correctly cleanse the skin before injection. This treatment is much more painful than the axillae, and most patients.
will require a digital nerve block or topical anesthetic before treatment.
Reconstitute a 100 unit vial of Botox, Xeomin, or Jeuveau with 5 cc of
Bacteriostatic saline. The larger the volume of diluent, the great the spread.
It is advised that new injectors treat one hand at a time and start with the nondominate hand. Due to the risk of muscle weakness, it is advised to tread lightly with this treatment for beginners in neuromodulation.
50 units of Botox, Xeomin, or Jeuveau will be used per side for a total of 100 units.
Inject 0.1 mL per injection point except for the pulp of the fingertip, where most patients will be more resistant to the injection. At the pulp, inject 0.2 mL per injection point.
2 mm deep.
1–2 cm apart.
Bevel up. 100 point grid for the palms, including injections in-between the fingers and the proximal wrist fold.
Change the needle every four to six injections to keep the patient feeling comfortable and to minimize bruising.
Each palm, sole, or axillae will take 50 units per side.
Touch-ups may be needed, and patients should be warned about the potential need for additional product to adequately plan their budget. Effects will kick in in about 2 weeks and last up to 6 months and on occasion longer (Table 11.12).
