tox Flashcards

1
Q

what is the action of botox when injected into the muscle

A

neurotoxin purified protein derivative of clostridium botulinum bacteria that blocks the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. This results temporary reduces muscle contractions and smooths skin wrinkles in the treatment area.

Q

what causes wrinkling to be a prominent feature of skin aging

A

the skin naturally thins and loses volume over time as collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin gradually diminish. this process of dermal atrophy is accelerated and compounded by sun exposure and other extrinsic factors such as smoking, and excessive movement of facial muscles.

40
Q

as we get older why do our eyebrows change

A

the height of our eyebrows can change do to change in frontal fat pads (lowering)

41
Q

when injecting corrugator supercilli how should we inject

A

inject deeper medially, getting more superficially as you get to the lateral part of brow

42
Q

why should you always treat the glabella when treating the frontalis

A

because if not the frontalis is relaxed when injected and it will give the look of an angry face when brows are not treated

43
Q

why is the depressor supercilli not directly treated

A

it is not usually a powerful muscle, but when treating the corrugator supercilli you are also treating the DS.

44
Q

if the patient is still pulling down with the medial brows even if you think you treated well before, what should you try next

A

try treating more superficially because the depressor supercilli is above the corrugator supercilli

45
Q

medial muscle at bridge of nose that pulls the glabella down

A

procerus

46
Q

why wouldn’t you treat the procerus with same amount of units on everyone

A

this muscle is variable because some people have a very meaty procerus and others don’t

47
Q

what type of dose would someone get with a meaty procerus and downward pull is seen

A

higher units in procerus than someone who doesn’t seem they pull down from procerus, but instead the corrugators

48
Q

what muscle runs very close to the surface of the skin around eyes

A

obicularis oculi

49
Q

when treating only the lateral canthal lines what may you see

A

a medial pull under the eye because the outside portion has been relaxed

50
Q

since the face is like a tug of war, frontalis muscle is pulling up and orbicularis oculi is pulling down, if you relax the OO what do you get

A

you can get a lift in the brow, can even be a brow treatment for a brow ptoosis

51
Q

why would you not want to over treat and inject deeply in the orbicularis oculi

A

the orbicularis oculi is an accessory muscle for cheek elevation, if over treated you could look less genuine. improve technique by injecting more superficially and this will remove the risk of hitting zygomaticus and also do not inject too inferiorly

52
Q

when injecting the frontalis of a male why would we not treat them like we would a female

A

men seem to have a taller forehead and they could get “horns” at the top right and left from no treatment higher up

53
Q

A

12-20 units women
20-25 units for men because muscle strength
