Thanks to Dr Solish’s technique in the Daxxify trial and Canfield imaging showing maximal lift with his lower injection points (avoids the frontalis), we now know how to give our patients better results. However, lower glabellar injections could put patients at risk for lip ptosis bc cadaver studies show that either the Depressor Septi or Procerus are connected to the LLSAN in a majority of people creating a line where there is downward pull above and upward pull below. This is why it is important to block the lower edge of your injection as shown in the last picture when using this lower technique to prevent spread to the connected LLSAN and prevent lip ptosis. Smaller reconstitutions are also helpful to keep the product from spreading further.

Want the cadaver publication -> comment “cadaver”

Want me to review the lower injection technique paper in my next post let me know on my poll!

Comment “pub” if you would like me to send my article on treating the glabella (deciding not to treat is also a smart option.)
I want to thank for inviting me on her Instagram Live tonight to discuss this case with her and helping to bring our community together to have open and honest conversations. I also want to thank this patient for graciously allowing us to discuss her case to help educate practitioners.

Interesting new case report in JAAD showing a patient with previous cosmetic injections without side effects starting a GLP and areas of new injections with CaHA, Inco and HA all experienced long term injection site nodules that were not resolved with Triamcinolone, Hyaluronidase, or Doxycycline, but improved 1 month after isotretinoin and discontinuation of GLP1 only to recur with restart of higher dose GLP. While it is just a case report I think we all should be aware it may be possible the medication increases propensity of this side effect. At the same time, I personally have patients on GLPs all the time without any issues so I want to hear from you guys if your patients on GLPs are having any issues!

Hypochlorous acid gel is a powerful antiseptic that doesn’t cause stinging and decreases inflammation and risk of infection. While I previously massaged patients with arnica gel after filler injections, I have switched to hypochlorous acid gel to further decrease my patients risk of side effects. What do you think of that idea? Did you know it existed in gel form?
Comment yes if you agree or no if you don’t and if the gel is new to you or if you are already using it? Also if you have another great use for hypochlorous acid in your practice let us know in the comments!
You can find this product and many other great ones for amazing prices on Injector360.com with our free buying group!

119 Eye Injuries Were Reviewed

1. 59 cases were caused from laser resurfacing, all were CO2 in this review, but could happen with erbium.

A 1997 survey reported this side effect can happen in 0.4% of subjects so if treating around the eye it is something to discuss with patients.

2. 60 cases were from laser/IPL directly reaching the globe of the eye causing permanent blindness or decreased vision.

A. The most common procedure causing blindness was laser hair removal on the face, especially the eyebrows with 24 cases with the alexandrite 755nm and 7 cases with the 1064 NDYAG. There were 8 cases with IPL when treating reds or browns.

B. In the majority of cases, improper eyewear was used or proper eyewear was used BUT removed during a portion of the procedure to accommodate the bulk of the handpiece.

Safety Recommendations
1. Never look directly into the laser
2. Hold the laser pointing to the ground when not using
3. Put the laser in standby when done or pausing
4. NEVER temporarily remove the external eye shields to accommodate the laser.
5. If cleaning the face with chlorhexidine pay extra attention not to get it on the internal eye shields. For laser resurfacing if using chlorhex to clean you may want to consider waiting to do so until after the eye shields are in and put on new gloves to take them out.
6. CHECK the glasses you are using have the correct wavelength written on the glasses for the procedure you are performing. When treating around the eye, constantly check the eyewear is in the proper location covering the eye.
7.Consider internal metal eye shields if near the bony rim of the eye or if the laser head can not fit with the external shields.

Let me know if you want to hear about all things cosmetic such as lasers and not just limit to injectables.
