events were minor comparatively speaking to other treatments such as dermal filler implantation.
Caution with the silicone stoppers
It is thought that when the needle punctures through the silicone stopper of the BoNT-A bottle with the same needle intended for injection that the needle becomes infiltrated with silicone molecules, which is then inadver­tently injected into the patient’s tissue. Silicone can create a foreign body reaction within the patient’s tissue and have adverse long term sequela. Some research has identified that the presence of silicone granulomas and silico­noma can be the direct result of utilizing the same needle that has gone through the silicone stopper (Stone, Zhu, Thach, & Ruegg, 2011).

Contraindications with the use of ALL neuromodulators
(Absolute contraindications)
1. Hypersensitivity
Hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin preparation or any of the com­ponents in the formulation. Severe and immediate hypersensitivity reac­tions have been reported. These reactions include anaphylaxis, serum sickness, urticaria, soft-tissue edema, and dyspnea. If such a reaction occurs, further injection of botulinum toxin should be discontinued, and appropriate medical therapy immediately instituted. One fatal case of anaphylaxis has been reported in which lidocaine was used as the dil­uent, and consequently, the causative agent cannot be reliably determined. (Allergan, 2020; Dysport, 2020; Jeuveau, 2020; Xeomin, 2020)
2. Infection or rash Active infection or rash at the injection site is generally a contraindica­tion in almost any esthetic procedure unless, of course, the injectionist is treating the complication. (Allergan, 2020; Dysport, 2020; Jeuveau, 2020; Xeomin, 2020)
3. Pregnancy or lactating Currently, neuromodulators are listed as a pregnancy category C. There have been reports that woman have inadvertently received neuromodu­lation while pregnant, and to this date, no teratogenicity has been reported. The reported cases have had uneventful deliveries. Given the procedures’ elective nature and that, proper research has not been performed to concretely demonstrate pregnant and lactating women’s safety. In animal studies, fetal abnormalities were reported in the growth and development phases of pregnancy. It was reported that a decrease in fetal weight along with skeletal ossification occurred. The expert opinion is that it is not worth the patient’s risk, the unborn fetus, or a profes­sional’s license to treat a known pregnant or lactating mother. (Allergan, 2020; Dysport, 2020; Jeuveau, 2020; Xeomin, 2020)
4. Allergy to cows milk protein with the use of Dysport is an absolute con- traindication. A true cows milk allergy is different from what most peo­ple will report as an allergy to milk, otherwise called lactose intolerant. Dysport is formulated with a trace amount of a protein that is contained in cows milk. Therefore, if the patient is allergic to cows milk, they may not receive Dysport.
(Dysport, 2020)

5. If the patient has a known sensitivity to human albumin, they may not use any commercially available neuromodulators as it is reported that they all contain human albumin. Even though there is a warning of the possibility to spread viral diseases such as Creutzfeldt Jakob disease (a fatal brain degenerative disease), there has not been a single reported case of the transmission to date. It only comes as a warning at this point to injectors. The idea that neuromodulators contain human byproduct is also an essential piece of information or point to make for particular reli­gious preferences. Individual religious preferences will not want any injections or consume anything that has components of another human. It is advised to specifically ask about someone’s religious preference so that the provider can be sure that they are appropriately educated and treating the patient according to their beliefs.
(Allergan, 2020; Dysport, 2020; Jeuveau, 2020; Xeomin, 2020)
6. Neurological disorder such as:
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, aka Lou Gehrig’s disease)
Myasthenia gravis
Lambert Eaton
The use of any neuromodulators may very well exacerbate the clinical effects. Individuals with peripheral motor neuropathic diseases may be at an increased risk of clinically significant effects, including generalized muscle weakness, diplopia, ptosis, dysphonia, dysarthria, severe dysphagia, and respiratory compromise from any of the commercially available neuromo­dulations. Typically patients with these types of delimitating diseases are not seeking out treatment for esthetic reasons. With that said, medicine is chang­ing so rapidly, and lives are being extended, and cures are happening daily.
(Allergan, 2020; Dysport, 2020; Jeuveau, 2020; Xeomin, 2020)
Contraindications for the injector t o consider
1. Thick sebaceous skin—Thick sebaceous skin can be prohibitive in achieving beautiful results with neuromodulators. The thick skin limits the ability to substantially minimize glabellar lines with the use of neu­romodulation. Patients with thick sebaceous skin will often need more neuromodulation than the average dosing along with concomitant treat­ments such as skin resurfacing, prescription-strength skincare such as ZO
37Safety of neuromodulators
https://t.me/medicina_free
Skin health. DCCMstrictly uses the ZO Skin health line because it is aggressive yet promotes skin health. The focus should be on the whole patient, not just one wrinkle.
2. Prior CO
resurfacing or eye surgery is undoubtedly cause for pause. It
2
is essential to stop all neuromodulators 3 months before the patient’s eyelid surgery. The surgeon must have a complete and proper scope of the patines natural and unoppo sed facial function. A patient who has recently had a CO
treatment or aggressive skin tightening treat-
2
ments also causes pause. Allowing the patient to have ample healing time is necessary. The skin can be swollen and tight, with some of these procedures masking the muscle movement’s accurate anatomical representation. They are also at greater risk of infection during their healing phase. A slow restorative journey is typically the safest for the patient and the provider.
3. Upcoming special events—This is a problematic situation as many patients come in a little too late to have things done. It is a common mis­conception that esthetic services deliver quick results. The continued misconception is that they are relatively inexpensive and do not pose any risk of downtime. The harsh reality is that neuromodulation comes with the risk of bruising and takes 2 weeks to heal. The minimal risk of bruising is really the only sequela in the hands of a trained professional. If the injector needs to tweak a treatment, the final result is 4 weeks from the initial injection. It is a delicate balance here with special events. It is common practice to begin a brides treatment plan about a year from the date. A wedding is too essential of a day to begin practicing treatments. The photos will be her only moments from that day, and if she had a botched esthetic procedure, the injector would be thought of in a neg­ative light every time that album is picked up. All of her friends and fam­ily will be told the horrific story of how the injector ruined her one special day in her life. A bride is very stressed out and will typically have unrealistic expectations of perfection. It is advised that the injectionist use their judgment with regards to upcoming special events.
4. Cardiovascular disease There have been a limited number of reports following the administra­tion of botulinum toxin A of adverse events involving the cardiovascular system. The reports included arrhythmia and myocardial infarction; some cases did end with fatal outcomes. The patient reported having issues post neuromodulation and suffered a cardiac event with previous risk factors, including pre-existing cardiovascular disease. In expert
38 Essentials of neuromodulation
https://t.me/medicina_free
opinion, the literature is not supportive at this time to demonstrate that the neuromodulation caused the event. However, with the use of any drug, it is advised that caution be used when administering the medica­tion to patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease. One fatal case was reported in the absence of cardiac history post neuromodulation. After further review, it was found that the provider reconstituted the neuromodulator with lidocaine instead of saline or preservative saline. This particular isolated instance of injector error was not related to the neuromodulator. (Allergan, 2020; Dysport, 2020; Jeuveau, 2020; Xeomin, 2020)
5. Pre-existing conditions at the injection site Caution should be used when botulinum toxin treatment is used in the presence of inflammation at the proposed injection site(s), ptosis, or when excessive weakness or atrophy is present in the targeted muscle(s). Scaring, trauma, swelling, and many underlying issues at the injection site can lead to an adverse event. (Allergan, 2020; Dysport, 2020; Jeuveau, 2020; Xeomin, 2020)
6. Breathing or swallowing disorders Treatment with neuromodulators can result in swallowing or breathing difficulties. Patients with pre-existing swallowing or breathing difficul­ties may be more susceptible to these complications. In most cases, this is a consequence of the weakening of muscles in the injection area that is involved in breathing or oropharyngeal muscles that control swallowing or breathing. Deaths as a complication of severe dysphagia have been reported after treatment with botulinum toxin. These reports of death were not in the esthetic client. They were reported under the use of ther­apeutic medical treatment. Much higher doses are given in these patients, and they also receive the neuromodulator in higher risk areas that control pertinent muscles related to the stability of neck muscles and airway. Dysphagia may persist for several months and require the use of a feeding tube to maintain adequate nutrition and hydration. Aspiration may result from severe dysphagia and is a particular risk when treating patients in whom swallowing or respiratory function is already compromised. Treatment with botulinum toxins may weaken neck muscles that serve as accessory muscles of ventilation. The inadvertent injection into the wrong area may result in a critical loss of breathing capacity in patients with respiratory disorders who may have become dependent upon these accessory muscles. There have been post-marketing reports of severe
breathing difficulties, including respiratory failure. When treating the
https://t.me/medicina_free
esthetic client’s platysmas band, this is an inherent risk. Patients with smaller neck muscle mass, and patients who require bilat­eral injections into the sternocleidomastoid muscle for cervical dystonia treatment are at greater risk for dysphagia. Limiting the dose injected into the sternocleidomastoid muscle may reduce the occurrence of dysphagia. Injections into the levator scapulae may be associated with an increased risk of upper respiratory infection and dysphagia. Patients treated with botulinum toxin may require immediate medical attention if they develop swallowing, speech, or respiratory problems. These reactions can occur within hours to weeks after injection with botulinum toxin. (Allergan, 2020; Dysport, 2020; Jeuveau, 2020; Xeomin, 2020)
7. Human albumin and transmission of viral diseases Allergy to human albumin (it is remote with the use of all neuromodu­lators)*. All of the commercially available products contain albumin. Human albumin is a derivative of human blood. Based on effective donor screening and product manufacturing processes, neuromodula­tion carries an extremely remote risk of transmitting viral diseases. A theoretical risk for transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is also considered extremely remote. No cases of transmission of viral dis­eases or CJD have ever been reported for albumin. Religious preference may play an essential role in the use of neuromodulators, given that there is a trace amount of human blood in the product. (Allergan, 2020; Dysport, 2020; Jeuveau, 2020; Xeomin, 2020)
8. Immunogenicity As with all therapeutic proteins, there is a potential for immunogenicity. Treatment with BoNT-A may result in the formation of neutralizing antibodies known to reduce the effectiveness of subsequent treatments by inactivating the toxin’s biological activity. Xeomin claims that because they do not use any accessory proteins, users can not develop immunogenicity. Currently, the recommendation for treating the immune response is waiting 6 months to 1 full year without utilizing any neuromodulation treatments. After the washout period of 6 months to 1 year, the patient is advised to go back to their provider and initiate treatment. Clinical trials have shown this pause therapy to effectively clear out the system and allow neuromodulation to be effective again. (Allergan, 2020; Dysport, 2020; Jeuveau, 2020; Xeomin, 2020)

9. Zinc deficiency We learned earlier that BoNT-A is a metalloprotease drug; this means that BoNT-A’s are metal-dependent, specifically Zinc dependent. There is a subgroup among the metalloproteases, and that is gluzincin. The word even has Zinc right in it, alluding to the importance of Zinc in the role of BoNT-A release of acetylcholine to disrupt the message cen­ter. There must be adequate Zinc within the host in order for the BoNT­A to bind and prohibit the release of acetylcholine. Zinc deficiencies are most prevalent in developing countries. However, in the United States, the range of statistics is from 12% to 40% demonstrating zinc deficiencies (Lebeda et al., 2010). Even with an adequate nutritional intake of Zinc, it is still possible for one to be deficient. Zinc deficiency can occur due to poor absorption of the nutrients ingested. There is heaps of relevant information coming to light on the gut biome. After much reading, it appears that a zinc deficiency can cause an alteration in the gut biome. Conversely and interestingly enough, a person with an altered gut biome will have trouble absorbing the nutrients. The concept of Zinc defi­ciency brings about a moment of pause and highlights the need for fur­ther research on nutrients and the gut biome. Most developers of neuromodulators will advise that the office has an
Epi-pen on hand as well as liquid Benadryl, ice, and sniffing salts. It is at a minimum that an esthetic practice have a basic first aid kit on hand. The state boards will not take exception to the first aid kit during an inspection.
There have been no systemic reaction reports and no reported long-term
complications or hazards using neuromodulation for approved esthetic pur­poses. Severe adverse reactions, including excessive weakness, dysphagia, and aspiration pneumonia, with some adverse reactions associated with fatal outcomes, have been reported in patients who received botulinum toxin injections for unapproved uses. In these cases, the adverse reactions were not necessarily related to the distant spread of toxin but may have resulted from the administration of botulinum toxin to the site of injection and adja­cent structures. In several of the cases, patients had pre-existing dysphagia or other significant disabilities. There is insufficient information to identify fac­tors associated with an increased risk for adverse reactions associated with the unapproved uses of botulinum toxin. The safety and effectiveness of botu­linum toxin for unapproved uses have not been established.
A lethal dose of botulinum toxin would be 25–35, one hundred unit
vials. Diluted that would equate to 2500–3000 units of BoNT-A. These
41Safety of neuromodulators
https://t.me/medicina_free
studies come from reports of childhood deaths that were treated with high dose therapy for cerebral palsy. Cosmetic procedures have a maximum cumulative dose recommendation generally to not exceed 360 units in a 3-month interval.
Drug to drug interactions
Many patients are at the mercy of multiple doctors and, at times, can be experiencing polypharmacy. Due diligence is required for the community’s safety, and part of due diligence is taking a thorough medical history. Present the form in layman’s terms so that the reader can truly understand the lan­guage. Medical terms are a different language, and health care providers can not assume that the patient has the same level of understanding. Break it down for the patient.
1. Avoid concurrent treatment with aminogylcosides or other agents inter­fering with neuromuscular transmission. It is thought that the aminogly­coside could potentiate the weakness from botulinum toxin A injections.
Examples of an aminoglycoside:
Tobramicin Gentamicin Paromycin Amikacin Neomycin
2. Anticholinergics—these are drugs that block acetylcholine.
Examples of anticholinergics:
Amitriptyline (Elavil)
Benztropine (Cogentin) Chlorpheniramine (Actifed, Allergy & Congestion Relief, Chlor-
Trimeton, Codeprex, Efidac-24 Chlorpheniramine, etc.)
Chlorpromazine (Thorazine) Clozapine (Clozaril) Cyclobenzaprine (Amrix, Fexmid, Flexeril) Dicyclomine (Bentyl) Diphenhydramine (Advil PM, Aleve PM, Bayer PM, Benadryl, Exce-
drin PM, Nytol, Simply Sleep, Sominex, Tylenol PM, Unisom, etc.)
Doxepin (Adapin, Silenor, Sinequan) Hydroxyzine (Atarax, Vistaril) Meclizine (Antivert, Bonine) Nortriptyline (Pamelor)

literally scores of other medications for high blood pressure)
Loperamide (Imodium) Loratadine (Alavert, Claritin) Maprotiline Nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia) Ranitidine (Zantac) Thiothixene (Navane) Tizanidine (Zanaflex)
3. Curare like non-depolarizing blockers-muscle relaxers.
4. Lincosamides—A class of antibiotics treating Gram-positive bacteria and
Protozoans.
Examples of this drug:
Clindamycin
5. Polymyxins are antibiotics that work on gram-negative bacteria.

Examples of polymixins:
Polymyxin B and polymyxin E (also known as colistin)
6. Quinidine is a class 1 antiarrhythmic drug and is used as an antimalarial drug.
7. Magnesium sulfate—used to treat low levels of magnesium.
8. Anticholinesterases—these drugs are used in Parkinson’s and prevent
the neurotransmitter acetylcholine breakdown by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase.
Examples of this drug are:
Physostigmine Neostigmine
9. Succinylcholine chloride.
These drugs can potentiate the effect of the toxin.
