The Tox Talks (Chapter 5): The King of Tox with Dr Michael Kane

With Dr Michael Kane, Plastic Surgeon, New York, USAHosts Dr Jake Sloane and David Segal

About this episode

In The Tox Talks we feature expert injectors with significant experience using botulinum toxins. We explore their experience with particular brands, how their techniques have evolved and the subtle nuances of getting the best out of toxins.

Dr Michael Kane's clinical experience with botulinum toxin is unparalleled. He has performed well over 100,000 treatments since 1991, developed many toxin protocols in an era when almost no one was using toxins, and has consulted on the trials and launches of every brand of botulinum toxin.

In Chapter 5 we explore his lifetime journey with the products, covering why toxin is undervalued by injectors, moving beyond formulaic techniques, consultation and facial assessment, treating shape versus lines, individualising dose, learning from poor outcomes, why follow-ups matter, combining treatments, avoiding over-treatment, commoditisation, and charging for expertise rather than units.
