Detailed for readers are all essential aspects of neuromodulation treatment, including how to best safeguard patients. This volume provides an increased anatomical understanding of the injection anatomy within the face in an effort to focus on standard of care and set an industry standard in cosmetic injectables. Given the highly specialized training required for this skill, it details the history as well as the mechanism of action for each FDA-approved neuromodulating drug on the market. Unique anatomical renderings by medical artist Kevin Cease provide accurate and detailed anatomy to correlate beautifully with the content. With before, during, and after photos of more than 20 models and written detailed descriptions, diagrams, tables, and charts, all types of learners with every style of learning will benefit from this one-of-a-kind book. This book is a stepping stone for in-depth knowledge into this specialty field and begin to set the standard for entrance into the practice of aesthetics.
