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.

In Chapter 6 we focus on a newly launched product, Letybo (letibotulinumtoxinA) by Hugel Aesthetics. Also known as Botulax, it has been used in Asian markets since 2009. Our guest, Professor Syed Haq, divides his time between preventative medicine and aesthetics. He has sat on advisory boards for Ipsen and Allergan Aesthetics and is a Hugel Aesthetics KOL for Letybo.

We discuss the evolution of neurotoxins, manufacturing and safety, clinical trial evidence and comparisons, patient selection, injection technique and depth, placebo and nocebo effects, dosing patterns for the frontalis and lower face, managing expectations, explaining a new toxin to patients, and pricing.
