Starting BOTOX
®
How can you introduce it into your practice?
Starting BOTOX®
Starting BOTOX® Getting started with BOTOX can be ®
the hardest part… collecting patients, promoting it in the practice, consent forms…
Starting BOTOX®
Before offering BOTOX® to patients • Attend a training course • Review literature • Develop a consent form(provided) • Practice on partner, mother, close friend • Share data with staff. • Obtain suitable insurance cover Starting BOTOX®
Launching it in your Practice – consider the following: • Train reception staff to discuss the procedure • Do some initial free treatments on staff and best patients for word of mouth advertising • Build a before and after photo library to show prospective patients Starting BOTOX®
Launching it in your Practice – consider the following: • Schedule “BOTOX® days” • Get local media exposure • Inform patients with practice newsletter

3 Internalization:
Endplate sits upon muscle fibre
Neurotoxin binds to nerve terminal
Neurotoxin internalized via receptor-mediated endocytosis.
Neurotoxin Pharmacology
BOTOX® - Mode of Action
4 Blocking: Light chain blocks fusion of neurotransmitter vesicle with nerve membrane by cleaving SNAP-25.
5 Sprouting and reestablishment of sprouts: Endplate expands and collateral axonal sprouts emerge. Sprouts subsequently retract and are eliminated; Neurotoxin parent terminal isPharmacology reestablished.
PRODUCT SAFETY • Botox has long clinical history • Maximum dose per treatment session for Dystonia 400U • Cosmetic doses range between 24 to 70U • LD50 estimated to be 3000U • Wide margin of safety. • No relevant systemic effects observed

Contraindications and cautions
Contraindications •
Pregnancy and Lactation
•Neuromuscular transmission disorders.(Myasthenia Gravis) • Co-administration with aminoglycoside antibiotics • Bleeding disorders or anticoagulant therapy •Patients with known hypersensitivity to any Contraindications & cautions ingredient in BOTOX®
Cautions • Lack
of patient co operation
•Unrealistic expectations •Local infection at injection site (active acne) •Dysmorphophobia •Unrealistic fear of systemic botulism
Contraindications & cautions
Patient Selection and treatment options
Glogau wrinkle scale
Patient Selection and Treatment Options
Glogau wrinkle scale Type I (No Wrinkles) Topical therapy However, check dynamic movement May treat as preventive therapy
Patient Selection and Treatment Options
Glogau wrinkle scale Type II (Wrinkles in Motion) BOTOX® plus topicals
Patient Selection and Treatment Options
Glogau wrinkle scale
Type III (Wrinkles at Rest) BOTOX® plus fillers •Treat with Botox first •Botox and filler have synergistic action
Patient Selection and Treatment Options
Glogau wrinkle scale
Type IV (Nothing but Wrinkles) Consider surgery
Patient Selection and Treatment Options
KEY ELEMENTS • Assess patient’s desires. Are they realistic? • Assess facial expression at rest and during animation • Evaluate tonicity of muscles 5. Kinetic 6. Hyperkinetic 7. Hypertonic
KEY ELEMENTS • Palpate muscles to assess mass • Assess brow position • Evaluate any asymmetries • Begin with recommended starting dosages add more units in 2 week intervals
Dilution & Storage
Dilution of Vial • Wipe bung of Botox and saline with alcohol and allow to evaporate • Vacuum should draw down saline • Volumes of 1ml to 2.5mls recommended • Use only Bacteriostatic saline
Dilution & Storage
Dilution of Vial • Volumes of 1ml to 2.5mls recommended • US FDA trial protocol uses 2.5cc • 1ml dilution allows greater control by reducing diffusion however more difficult to handle leading to increased wastage of expensive product. • Also minor injection errors with 1ml dilution may lead to unpleasant consequences for patient
Dilution & Storage
Storage • Unreconstituted can store in fridge or freezer • DO NOT FREEZE BOTOX® ONCE RECONSTITUTED - Ice crystals may form which damage the toxin and reduce potency • Store in the refrigerator at 2 – 4 °C • As a general rule store in fridge at all times
Dilution & Storage
DILUTION 100 units botox in 2.5mls 20 units of botox in 0.5mls 2 units of botox in 0.05 mls 4 units of botox in 0.1mls Each major gradation is 2 units
DILUTION 50 units Vistabel in 1.25mls 20 units of Vistabel in 0.5mls 2 units of Vistabel in 0.05 mls 4 units of Vistabel in 0.1mls Each major gradation is 2 units
Some general technique tips for: • optimal treatment success • satisfied, repeat patients
General Injection Technique Tips • Patient should be seated or slightly reclining to best observe facial expressions • The treatment should be pleasant or, at least, comfortable to encourage repeat visits. Relax the patient & talk soothingly to lessen perceived pain • Thoroughly cleanse areas prior to injection, avoid alcohol as drying to skin and may interfere with Botox.
Technique Tips
General Injection Technique Tips • Try to change 30 gauge needle after every 4 - 5 injections. A sharp needle is less painful! • Gloves should be worn at all times, check for latex allergy • Mark injection sites prior to injection – remember to use a non tattooing pen • Record technique thoroughly on a patient worksheet so you can duplicate successful treatment and modify over- or under treatment.
Technique Tips
General Injection Technique Tips • Have patients discontinue aspirin,Vit E and NSAIDS, 7 days prior to treatment, to decrease bruising • Or at least warn patients of increased risk of bruising • Hold a gauze pad in the non-injecting hand so you can apply gentle pressure to any site that bleeds to minimise chances of bruising
Technique Tips
Preparing to Inject • Have the patient contract the muscles • Mark (when learning) the injection sites • Inject selected dose with 30 gauge needle • Inject with patient’s muscle relaxed for comfort
Technique Tips
CHECK LIST • Med history • Assess expectations • Explain 2 to 3 days before visible signs, 14 days for maximum effect • History,Skin status
Cont’ • Explain likely results discuss alternatives • Peels,microdermabrasion,Laser resurfacing • Sign consent form • Photograph, Inject, Record • Follow up instructions recall
Cosmetic Indications • Glabellar Frown Lines • Forehead Lines • Crow’s Feet • Eyebrow lift
Glabellar Frown Lines
• Convey negative emotions such as anger, depression,fatigue,biterness,disappointment and envy • Consider utilising in younger individuals as habit breaker.Muscle group may atrophy in time allowing longer duration of action • Women require 20 to 30U, Men 30 to 40U assess individually

Horizontal Forehead Lines •
Leave some facial expression do not paralyze
• Use minimal dose to produce desired effect • Males have more muscle mass • Assess pre-existing brow position prior to deciding on frontalis doseage and injection sites • Look for any brow asymmetry
Cosmetic Indications - Horizontal Forehead Lines
Horizontal Forehead Lines • Approach should be conservative - 10-20 Units BOTOX® in several divided doses • In the lateral to mid-pupillary line, stay at least 1 finger width above the supra-orbital rim Avoid ptosis by not injecting shaded area

Managing complications of BOTOX® treatment
Potential Side Effects • Bruising is the most common side effect • Avoid obvious blood vessels • Apply gentle pressure to bleeding area • Drooping of eyebrow • Transient headache • Nausea • Diplopia
Managing complications
Potential complications Bruising Headache Eyelid ptosis Brow ptosis Brow repositioning Diplopia
Managing complications
Treating ptosis Alpha-2 agent with weak alpha-1 activity [eg, apraclonidine 0.5% (Iopidine®] Alpha-1 adrenergic stimulation of Müller’s muscle
Managing complications
Treating ptosis Usually resolves in 1-6 weeks Iopidine (Alcon) eyedrops 1 drop q.i.d. will temporarily resolve
Ptosis left lid
20 minutes after Iopidine®
Managing complications
Brow ptosis Wait for natural resolution Consider infrabrow injection at arch and laterally to raise brow
After BOTOX® to glabellar and brow
Managing complications
Brow repositioning Excessive brow elevation • “Quizzical” or “Mr Spock” brows • Correct with 1 to ® 2units of BOTOX injected into the frontalis above the lateral brow
Managing complications
If after glabella treatment “cruella” / mephisto inject 0.5-1.5U only
