“The book is well illustrated with colour photographs and detailed anatomical diagrams, which are helpfully repeated on many pages … its coverage of most of the common uses of botulinum toxin, will make this book a useful asset to those who inject.” PMFA News

“a useful reference text for any dermatologist using botulinum toxin.” Australasian Journal of Dermatology

“This is the most complete, exhaustive discussion of botulinum toxin that I have seen. It is not dry by any means; it is written in an informative but lively manner and is actually fun to read. The photos and diagrams are extremely helpful. After reading this book, any clinician would feel adequately informed to treat patients with botulinum toxin.” Doody’s Review Service

From the Publisher

Reviewer: Patricia Wong, MD (Private Practice)
Description: This international, multiauthored book gives readers the benefit of learning from many different experts how they use botulinum toxin A for on-label indications and a myriad of off-label indications. The book discusses the three different toxins available. An accompanying ebook is accessed by using scratch-off code provided in the front of the book.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide the definitive reference for understanding the anatomic intricacies of injecting botulinum toxin A correctly and effectively.
Audience: The audience is cosmetic dermatologists and other aesthetic physicians who incorporate botulinum toxin A treatments in their practice for cosmetic improvement.
Features: There are excellent discussions and diagrams describing and illustrating the details of the process. Clinical photos are labeled with numbers indicating the suggested units to administer on the body/facial sites. Accompanying these photos are anatomical diagrams showing the muscles that are affected and the muscles to avoid. The appendixes include templates for a consent form, a patient handout discussing how botulinum toxin A works, side effects, and after care instructions. These are comprehensive and well written. The ebook enables access to the entire contents on a desktop, laptop, or smartphone. It also gives users the ability to make notes and highlight passages.
Assessment: This is a superb resource on how to inject botulinum toxin A. The font in the book is small, but I adapted to it after reading for a while.
