      ANATOMICAL CONSIDERATIONS

     Progressing towards more advanced applications of Botulinum toxin and dermal fillers,
     practitioners need to be aware of the relevant underlying anatomical structures including
     layers in the face, muscles, nerves and blood vessels.

      FACIAL MUSLCES

     Aesthetic practitioners should have a good understanding of facial muscles, both those to
     target with treatment and those to avoid to prevent complications.

      BLOOD VESSELS

     Injecting major blood vessels can lead to haematoma formation but also introduces the
     risk of embolisation, vessel occlusion, ischaemia and infarction of distant tissues. The
     vascular anatomy of the face largely dictates the ‘danger zones’ of treatment, especially
     with regards to the angular artery, supratrochlear artery and infraorbital artery.

     Ø Angular artery: embolic occlusion of this vessel can result in ischaemic necrosis of the
       cheek and nasal septum and even blindness
     Ø Supratrochelar artery: occlusion can result in blindness and ophthalmoplegia
     Ø Infraorbital artery: occlusion of this vessel can result in immediate and permanent
       blindness

   WHAT YOU WILL REQUIRE:

                                      FMS 32G
                                     Fine Micro

       syringe                              Kapoff or haemostat clip

  STEPS TO RECONSTITUTE BOTULINUM TOXIN (AZZULURE):

  1.   Remove Azzulure vial from pack and clean top of vial with a cliniprep or chloroprep.
       Cleaning the top of the vial is optional and some practitioners choose not do this with an
       alcohol based wipe.
  2.   Release vacuum of Azzulure vial with green needle.
  3.   Draw up 0.7ml of bacteriostatic saline into the Azzulure green syringe and decant the
       saline into the Azzulure vial. 0.7ml will allow for some inevitable loss in your syringe.
  4.   Swirl the saline around gently but thoroughly- do not shake and do not tip the vial
       upside down. Discard the green needle and Azzulure syringe.
  5.   Remove cap from Azzulure vial using Kapoff or clip.
  6.   Draw up required amounts into 3 FMS needles: i) 50 units for glabella, ii) 40 units for
       crows feet and iii) 20 units for frontalis. 3 separate FMS syringes should be used.
  7.   Inject as required.

      FOUNDATION REFRESHER

     The key target areas for Botulinum toxin are dictated by ‘activity lines’ produced by facial
     expression. Treatment zones covered in the foundation course include:
     Ø Glabella (frown) lines
     Ø Horizontal forehead (frontalis) lines
     Ø Crow’s feet (lateral canthal lines

        This diagram represents a standard treatment regimen of upper face wrinkles with
       Botulinum toxin using a 125 Speywood units of Azzalure® diluted into 0.63ml Normal
                               Saline as per manufacturer guidance.

      ADVANCED TECHNIQUES

     Advanced applications of Botulinum toxin include a range of lower face treatments,
     combination treatments and the management of complications. As practitioners become
     more experienced they should move away from generic standardised regimens and assess
     the needs of each client individually to develop personalized treatment plans.

     NASALIS TREATMENT – ‘BUNNY LINES’
     Ø Wrinkles on the dorsolateral aspect of the nose which develop due to the activity of
       nasalis muscle.
     Ø Exaggerated in laughing / squinting.
     Ø Can develop through compensatory over-activity of nasalis secondary to treatment of
       glabella complex.
     Ø Treat with 5 Speywood units in the body of each nasalis muscle, injected superficially.

     EYEBROW LIFT
     Ø Botulinum toxin can be used to perform a chemical eyebrow lift and appropriate client
       assessment is essential before treatment.
     Ø 2.5- 5 Speywood units are injected superficially, at least 1.5cm above the lateral aspect
       of the supraorbital rim. This may be just below or within the eyebrow itself.
     Ø If undertaking a full eyebrow reshape, the treatment can be expanded with further
       injections at the peak of the eyebrow with 2.5 further Speywood units.
     Ø In order to complete the treatment and offer a full eyebrow lift and reshape, one should
       concomitantly treat the Glabella with a full 50 Speywood units and the lateral canthal
       lines with 20 Speywood units.
     Ø The treatment of the eyebrow lift and re-shape targets the upper outer fibres of the
       orbicularis oculi muscle- a depressor muscle.
Advanced : PRACTICAL GUIDE

     OBICULARIS ORIS TREATMENT - ‘SMOKER’S LINES’
     Ø These perioral lines are created by the activity of orbicularis oris that encircles the
       mouth.
     Ø Early lines can be treated with a combination of toxin and filler injections to give
       excellent results.
     Ø Small doses (2.5 Speywood units) can be injected above the upper lip (>4mm superior
       to the vermillion border).
     Ø Injections should be perpendicular to the skin, approximately 2mm depth.
     Ø Note – deeper/ static smoker’s lines may require dermal filler treatment (combined
       with Botulinum toxin or alternatively).

     GINGIVAL DISPLAY OR ‘GUMMY SMILE’
     Ø In full smile, the aesthetic ideal is considered 90% incisor display and minimal gingival
       display
     Ø A gummy smile (excessive gingival display) can occur through over activity of levator
       labii superioris and zygomaticus minor.
     Ø Botulinum toxin can be injected to relax these elevators and soften a gummy smile

     MASSETERIC HYPERTROPHY
     Botulinum toxin can be used to reduce the strength and bulk of the masseter (chewing)
     muscles to reduce the width of the jaws. This treatment appeals to clients with overly
     square jawlines who wish to achieve a more feminine look. It can also be used to treat
     patients who suffer with bruxism.

     60 Speywood units are injected into the superficial and deep fibres of the masseter, with
     20 Speywood units at each of the 3 sites represented below.

     PLATYSMA TREATMENT – ‘NEFERTITI NECK LIFT’
     Ø This technique relaxes the muscular
       bands of platysma which can exaggerate
       the jowl effect and create the ‘turkey
       neck’ appearance.
     Ø Botulinum toxin enhances jawline
       definition, softens jowls and creates a
       ‘lift’ in the lower face.
     Ø Product is injected along the jawline and
       along the bands of the platysma muscle
       across 20- 25 marked sites.
     Ø A double dilution technique is adopted,
       where 1.25mls is used to dilute 1 vial of
       Azzalure® and 5 Speywood units are
       injected into each site.
     Ø The epidermis and dermis are gently elevated during the injection, along the band.
     Ø These bands can be identified by asking the patient to draw the corners of the mouth
       downwards, or say the vowel ‘E’, allowing you to isolate the muscle and inject.

     HYPERHIDROSIS
     Ø Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) of the arm pits (axillae) and palms of the hands or
       soles of the feet can be treated with Botulinum toxin.
     Ø Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks cholinergic stimulation of apocrine sweat glands,
       giving up to 6 months’ relief from excessive sweating.
     Ø Can only be used to treat defined areas (not useful in generalised hyperhidrosis).
     Ø Note – treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis can be very painful and therefore anaesthetic
       should be considered. The client must be given specific instructions with regards to
       aftercare and caution whilst the anaesthetic is wearing off.
     Ø A double dilution technique is used of 1.25ml saline to a vial of Azzalure®

     Ø In the axillae, mark out a grid of 12 injection sites across the main sweat producing zone
       with 5 Speywood units injected at each site (total 62 Speywood units per axilla)

     DEPRESSOR ANGULI ORIS TREATMENT – DOWN TURNED
     CORNERS OF THE MOUTH
     Ø Low doses of Botulinum toxin can be injected into depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscles
       to eliminate the downwards pull on the oral commissures and lift the down turned
       corners of the mouth.
     Ø The muscle is identified by asking the client to draw their lower lip downwards.
     Ø Inject 5 Speywood units perpendicularly to the skin into the belly of these muscles
       which should lie approximately midway between the oral commissure and the
       mandible.

      DERMAL FILLERS

      FOUNDATION REFRESHER

     Dermal fillers are injectable materials used to reduce wrinkles and treat deficits in facial
     volume. Products work to mitigate the signs of ageing and improve facial contouring,
     ultimately providing long-term facial aesthetic enhancement. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers
     are the most widely used type of dermal filler. These products are most commonly used for
     the following purposes:

     Ø   Reducing wrinkles
     Ø   Correcting deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines
     Ø   Correcting age-related volume loss in the cheeks and chin, for example
     Ø   Firming the skin
     Ø   Enhancing facial contours
     Ø   Lip definition

      INJECTION TECHNIQUES- REFRESHER

     Techniques of delivery vary depending on the indication, site, product and experience and
     preference of the injector. Please refer to Foundation training materials for more detail on
     these basic techniques including the treatment of nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
       LINEAR THREADING

                                         The product is deposited in a linear fashion as the
                                         needle is steadily withdrawn. This is one of the most
                                         commonly used method.

       SERIAL PUNCTURE

                                        Deeper deposition of droplets of product with serial
                                        injections along a wrinkle. This technique may be used
                                        to correct deep glabella creases.

           FANNING
                                        The product is deposited immediately deep to the
                                        dermis through a series of small linear threads by
                                        passing advancing and withdrawing the needle back
                                        and forth to treat the area of concern. The product is
                                        deposited as the needle is withdrawn.

        CROSS- HATCHING

                                        The cross-hatch technique describes injecting
                                        multiple perpendicular threads of product to create a
                                        weaving effect. This can correct heavy volume loss
                                        and can be used in areas such as deep marionette
                                        lines.

         DEPOT/BOLUS

      A certain volume of product is deposited at the desired depth in a single bolus. This
      technique can be used for adding volume to the lips and cheeks, for example. Inject
      slowly to avoid discomfort caused by rapid expansion of the tissues.

      ADVANCED TECHNIQUES

     LIP AUGMENTATION:
     Practitioners should aim to achieve a natural fullness, a well-defined vermilion border and
     cupid’s bow, good projection, smooth surface appearance and an aesthetic balance
     between the upper and lower lip (ideally 1:1.6).

     Restylane Kysse is the product of choice for lip augmentation.
Advanced : PRACTICAL GUIDE

     CHEEK AUGMENTATION
     With advancing age, the effects of volume loss and gravitational descent lead to a squaring
     effect of the face often with loss of volume in the cheeks. Dermal fillers can be used to
     restore volume and return the cheeks to a more youthful high position.

     The initial injections are deep and product is deposited in boluses (0.1-0.4mls) just
     superficial to the periosteum to create an anchoring effect. A high viscosity product is
     therefore required, such as Restylane Lyft, Volyme or Defyne

     To guide accurate product placement, the following technique can be applied but it varies
     between practitioners and clients and there are other landmarks that can be used:

     Draw 3 individual lines to form a triangle:
            Ø From the upper border of the tragus to the oral commissure
            Ø From the oral commissure to the lateral canthus
            Ø From the lateral canthus to the upper border of the tragus
     Ø Within this triangle draw an oval and then horizontally divide the oval into two
       hemispheres – upper and lower.
     Ø Split the upper hemisphere into 3 vertical sections- the three sections represent
       the 3 main injection sites for cheek augmentation.
     Ø From medial to lateral, these are the anteromedial cheek, zygomatic eminence
       and zygomatic arch.
     Ø Additional injections can be given into the lower hemisphere segments and
       towards the hairline to the upper outer aspect of the treatment zone.
Advanced : PRACTICAL GUIDE

      JAW CONTOURING
      The product of choice for this area is Restylane Lyft.

      The process of ageing can lead to sagging of the lower face including the jawline and chin.
      Dermal fillers can be used to return definition to this area to achieve a more youthful
      appearance using both the needle and cannula techniques.

      Unlike conventional needles which are rigid and have a sharp tip, the microcannula is
      flexible and has a blunt tip (therefore requiring an introducer to penetrate through the
      dermis and epidermis). Rather than piercing through the tissues, the cannula opens up its
      path between the anatomic structures of the skin.

      As a result, using Microcannula for filler injection offers several advantages over
      conventional needles, such as:
      Ø    Less bruising
      Ø    Less swelling
      Ø    Significant reduction in pain and discomfort
      Ø    Minimized downtime following the procedure
      Ø    Less risk of trauma and damage to the tissues

     Ø A deep bolus can be injected on the outer aspect of the angle of the mandible to provide
       anchoring support.
     Ø Serial boluses can then be injected along the length of the jawline and massaged to
       create smooth volume enhancement using a microcannula or needle technique. Be
       aware of the facial artery in this region as is ascends to cross the border of the
       mandible
     Ø Alternatively, the length of the jawline can be injected using the microcannula and
       deposition of product in a linear retrograde manner.
     Ø A deep bolus is often desirable in the pre-jowl sulcus to reduce the jowling effect and
       support the chin. Be aware of the emergence of the mental nerve in this region

     TEMPORAL HOLLOWS
     Hollow and sunken temples can commonly develop as we get older. With advancing age,
     there is a general loss of volume and descent of tissues from the mid-face making the
     temple area appear concave and the supporting tissues around the eyes looking pointed
     and harsh.
     Dermal filler can be injected to restore youthful smooth contours to the temple area,
     replacing volume that has been lost. Products that can be used in this area include
     Restylane Volyme.

     Ø When treating this area be aware of important vasculature: frontal branch of the
       superficial temporal artery. Move any obvious veins out of the way by mobilising the
       skin, to avoid bruising.
     Ø Injections are placed deeply, vertically down to bone at 90o to the skin.
     Ø Insertion points are located 1cm above the supraorbital rim, superiorly along the
       temporal fusion line and 1cm posteriorly, following the arch of the supraorbital rim.
     Ø Inject slowly as the product used is viscous. The product will spread between the
       temporalis and temporal fascia and will not pass beyond the fusion lines and thus,
       generally, they do not need to be blocked.
     Ø Provide a blocking and supporting flat index finger superiorly to prevent product
       spread.
     Ø Typical injection volumes range from 0.4ml- 0.8ml depending on the size of the defect,
       quality of overlying skin and serial assessments.

     PERI-ORAL LINES
     Peri- oral lines can be treated with horizontal retrograde linear threading, traversing
     multiple lines with each line of product and avoiding over-treatment.

     Ø Tenting (single bolus deposition)
     Ø Serial puncture (multiple deposition points along a line)
     Ø Micro-droplets (tiny amounts of product across a broad area)

     Treatment should be limited to the flat dorsal surface of the hand at least 2cm within the
     boundaries created by the metacarpophalangeal joints and the wrist joint. Acquisition
     Aesthetics advocates the use of the cannula technique in this area to minimise client
     discomfort and increase treatment area accessed with one insertion point.

      COMPLICATIONS OF TREATMENT WITH DERMAL FILLERS

     Please refer to the guidelines provided for you online in your members’ login area
     through the Acquisition Aesthetics website. These include, but not limited to, guidelines
     on the following complications:

            Ø   Tyndall effect
            Ø   Vascular occlusion and use of Hyalase
            Ø   Bruising
            Ø   Infection
            Ø   Granuloma formation
            Ø   Delayed onset nodule formation (DONs)
            Ø   Anaphylaxis and hypersensitivity reactions
            Ø   Tissue necrosis

     Complications can be broadly categorised into early and late time frames.

      EARLY                                       LATE
      • Local injection site reactions:           • Granulomas
      I. Bruising                                 • Migration of product
      II. Swelling                                • Scarring
      III. Redness                                • Asymmetry
      IV. Pain                                    • Nodules
      V. Itching
      VI. Infections

      •   Allergic reaction/ hypersensitivity
      •   Lumps caused by misdistribution
      •   Tissue Necrosis
      •   Vascular occlusion leading to
          blanching, skin necrosis and/ or
          blindness
      •   Asymmetry

     BRUISING

     Ø   Immediately stop injecting and apply a cold compress with some pressure.
     Ø   Monitor the bruise and tell the patient it may become worse over 12 hours.
     Ø   Supply the client with Arnicare cream.

     TYNDALL EFFECT
     Ø   The Tyndall effect is used to describe the bluish hue that is visible within the skin
         caused by too superficial placement of hyaluronic acid (HA) filler.
     Ø   It can be avoided by ensuring that the colour of the needle cannot be seen prior to
         injecting.
     Ø   Treatment is either surgical removal of the filler or hyalase injection to remove it.

     SKIN INFECTIONS
     Skin infections can be early in onset (24-48
     hours post procedure) or delayed (>48 hours).
     They present with redness, swelling around
     the area, pain, tenderness and increased
     temperature to the surrounding skin.

     They are usually controlled with oral
     antibiotics but medical attention should be
     sought depending on the severity- either via
     the General Practitioner or A&E if the infection
     is spreading rapidly, or the client is
     systemically unwell and pyrexic.

                                (Photo shows local skin infection around marionette line injection)

     VASCULAR OCCULSION LEADING TO BLANCHING, SKIN
     NECROSIS OR BLINDNESS
                                           Vascular occlusions may present in a number of ways
                                           and the practitioner must be prepared at all times as
                                           they may progress rapidly and consequences can be
                                           disastrous.

                                           Recognise vascular occlusions as blanching of the skin,
                                           dusky discolouration or disturbances in vision (late
                                           sign) caused either by emboli of product or direct
                                           compression to a vessel.

     (Photo shows skin necrosis after injection into the nasolabial fold causing vascular occlusion)

     TREATMENT:
     Ø   Stop injecting immediately.
     Ø   Use a heat pack or a warm flannel to maintain collateral circulation.
     Ø   Hyalase reconstituted and injected to region directly and circumferentially in a 1cm
         radial pattern.
     Ø   Reconstitution according to guidelines (members’ login area and lectures) and
         repeated as required after careful assessment and documentation.
     Ø   Appropriate close monitoring and follow up always required.
