Micro-macro toxins: what does it look like in the USA?
Objectives: The objectives of this presentation is to review the peer-reviewed literature surrounding the use of both high-dose and micro-dose injections of neurotoxins.
Introduction: Introduction: More and more neurotoxins are becoming available in the US and around the world. While labelled indications for each one exist, more and more clinicians are using these toxins in an off-label fashion, either as high-dose or in micro-doses.
Results: The use of high-dose injections of neurotoxins has become very popular for those patients looking for longer lasting toxin outcomes. The use of micro-injections of toxins is showing promise as well in several common dermatological conditions – including facial redness, oily skin, enlarged pores, acne, and others. This trend is increasing and we will be seeing more and more data to support these new indications.
