The Therapeutic use of Botulinum Toxin (botox) & the Aesthetic side effects

Title: The Therapeutic use of Botulinum Toxin (botox) & the Aesthetic side effects

Abstract:

Have you dabbled in Botulinum Toxin treatment? Are you curious and want to learn more?
In this lecture Dr. Roberts explains how the multiple mechanisms of action of BoNT-A have an impact far beyond facial wrinkles and why a detailed understanding of the anatomy of the face and neck is paramount to successful therapeutic & aesthetic treatment. Learn how the secondary & tertiary mechanisms of action effect pain modulation and have a major impact on adjunctive therapy for TMD, headache, neck ache & myofascial pain. Muscle relaxation of sensitive periodontal tissues with BoNT-A prior to surgery can have a significant influence on implant success. Learn how BoNT-A can impact your practice in ways you have never before considered.
Objectives:

1. Describe the synergy between therapeutic & aesthetic uses of BoNT-A
2. Describe how BoNT-A can interface with TMD, perio, endo, implants, ortho for more positive treatment outcomes
3. Explain why an in-depth understanding of anatomy is crucial for positive implant outcomes
