The wait is over: GMC’s first set of cosmetic regulations are out!

While Botox is great to reduce muscle activity and lines, dermal filler actually fills the cavity of the line; converting static lines to dynamic ones

During our certificate in aesthetic medicine (3 days) injection skills are properly developed using various types of needles and cannula. What you are learning is injection depths.

Botulinum Toxin Top-Up: Forehead, Frown & Crow’s Feet

In this male patient, the upper forehead has relaxed well; however, there is compensatory hyperactivity directly over the eyebrows, resulting in visible movement and line formation. I’m addressing this with very superficial micro-drops, using a 32G needle, keeping the dose conservative at ≤1 unit per injection point to soften activity without risking brow heaviness.

Moving to the frown complex, I first assess which components are still active. In this case, the medial corrugators are adequately relaxed, while the lateral corrugator remains dominant, driving the residual frown expression. Although the contraction appears central, the top-up is strategically placed laterally, targeting the true source of movement rather than the visible crease.

Finally, for the crow’s feet, if lower lateral eye lines become accentuated following initial treatment, I often recommend a small, controlled top-up of 1–2 units into the lower crow’s feet, placed superficially and laterally. This refines residual lines while maintaining smile dynamics and avoiding unwanted diffusion into the zygomaticus.#botoxinjections #botoxtraining

The Truth About Trendy Lips
We need to stop treating lips like a construction project. This dynamic, delicate structure is being ruined by over-manipulation and trendy, trauma-inducing techniques.
The outcome of chasing these “fancy” names? Long-term fibrosis and the look everyone judges: overdone and unnatural.
Don’t be that person. Don’t let your practitioner get sucked into the marketing games. Let’s protect the integrity of a great procedure. Our motto? K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid).#kisslips

Forehead Indentations Explained

Not all forehead dips are created equal — some come from the soft tissues, and others from the hard bony foundation underneath.

🔹 Soft Tissue Causes
The forehead skin is thick and tightly bound down by fibrous connective tissue. These tethering points can pull the skin inward, leaving little dimples or grooves. With age, soft tissue thinning and volume loss make these dips appear more obvious.

🔹 Bony Irregularities
Sometimes, the issue lies deeper. The forehead bone itself can have slight irregularities or contour changes. These structural variations mean the skin and tissue drape unevenly, creating visible shadows.

🔹 Treatment Approach
With dermal fillers placed via cannula, we can soften the transition — filling the dips, smoothing the surface, and balancing light reflection. Think of it as creating a seamless blend between skin and bone so the forehead reflects light evenly, not in patches.

💡 From anatomy to aesthetics, understanding both soft tissue and bony contributions is key to a natural, smooth result.

💉 Palmar Hyperhidrosis Protocol with Azzalure 💉

When treating male patients:
🔹 250 units per palm
 – 125 units distributed through the digits
 – 125 units spread across the rest of the palm

⚡ Technique Tips
– Use quick needle insertions to reduce pain perception
– Deliver a slow injection once the needle is in
– Move systematically through each digit, aiming to finish in under 90 seconds per palm

📌 Clinical Notes
– Patients may experience 10–20% transient thumb weakness, particularly when performing tasks like buttoning shirts
– This resolves in 2–4 weeks
– Despite this effect, patients have not requested dose reductions
– For female patients: dosage is usually 150–200 units per palm

👨‍⚕️ Key Takeaway for Practitioners: Efficient technique, correct dosing, and managing expectations on transient weakness are crucial to both patient comfort and outcome.
