About this episode
In What's Trending in Aesthetics? we discuss the topics doing the rounds on social media, in injector forums and in the news: the controversies, big stories and themes getting our industry talking.
In Chapter 5, Florida facial plastic surgeon Dr Steven Weiner joins us after an Instagram Live with April Harrison that got injectors talking, in which they shared their approach to botulinum toxin resistance, including a novel and controversial use of hyaluronidase.
In Part 1 we cover what toxin resistance is, theories about the immune response, antibodies and protein load, whether Xeomin reduces resistance, the brand-hopping myth, pseudo-resistance, toxin B, injector error and frontalis depth, how frequency and dilution affect results, ultrasound-guided toxin and how rare true resistance is.
Part 2, including the hyaluronidase approach and treatment protocols, is available exclusively in IA Community.
