Video transcript
Today the patient is having repeat botulinum toxin injections because expression lines concern her. Special preparation is generally not required. Before treatment, the clinician assesses facial movement, line depth, and anatomy and selects an appropriate dose.
A very fine needle is used, so the procedure is usually brief and well tolerated. Most patients can return to normal activities afterwards, although small injection marks or bruises are possible. The effect is not immediate; it usually becomes noticeable over several days, with the final result assessed after about two weeks.
Botulinum toxin for face and neck
Anatomical precision matters more than counting areas
Botulinum toxin temporarily reduces nerve signalling to a selected muscle. Aesthetic uses include expression lines and muscle-related proportions of the forehead, glabella, eye area, chin, lips, or neck.
Safe planning starts with facial movement, brow and eyelid position, smile, chewing, and neck function. The same injection map and dose for every patient is not good practice.

Video transcript
Botulinum toxin is used beyond aesthetic medicine. Injections into the masseter muscles may be considered for bruxism when muscular overactivity causes discomfort, headaches, or jaw pain. In more severe cases, prolonged grinding may damage the teeth.
Bruxism can occur by day or night, and a partner often notices pronounced grinding during sleep. Botulinum toxin helps relax overactive chewing muscles and may reduce symptoms. Medical and often dental assessment is required beforehand because other possible causes and treatments must also be considered.
