Join John H. Joseph, MD, at the Face and Body with MedEsthetics virtual event on Tuesday, May 25 for “High Dose Micro Focused Botulinum Toxin Injections (HDMF)….A Paradigm Shift for Injection Techniques with Botulinum Toxins”
For over 30 years Botulinum Toxin injections have proven to be of great benefit for both aesthetic and therapeutic indications. When initially being developed for those purposes a “Standard” volume of reconstitution evolved which ended up with a concentration that allowed for a safe three-to-four month duration with excellent efficacy. Once this defined volume and concentration was established, it remained as essentially the standard treatment of choice for 30 years or more. It became apparent to me this may have been an error and from a simple manipulation of the concentration and volume of injection a much more prolonged duration could be obtained with even greater safety. This was the beginning of HDMF.
Highlights:
- History of Botulinum Toxin injections for aesthetic indications
- Discovery of sub-optimal duration of Botulinum Toxin injections
- Means to increasing duration by increasing dose without increasing complications
