Complications in Botulinum Therapy. Prevention Algorithms. Correction Strategies.
Complications in Botulinum Therapy. Prevention Algorithms. Correction Strategies.
Course overview
In this course we will talk about what is usually left unspoken: technical errors, hidden mechanisms of neuroplasticity, sprouting and practical risk management.
You will understand botulinum therapy not as an "injection technique" but as a decision-making system: what happens in the tissues, why an adverse effect occurs and how to manage the outcome even before a problem appears.
During the course you will learn:
A clinical analysis algorithm before performing BoNT therapy
The logic of selecting points, depths and injection techniques
Mechanisms of development of adverse events and their early diagnosis
Causes of complications in the frontal, glabellar and periocular zones
Strategies to prevent ptosis, asymmetries and compensatory reactions
Approaches to correcting complications that have already occurred
The influence of neuroplasticity and sprouting on the long-term outcome of therapy.
This is not just a course on complications.
This is a reboot of your clinical thinking.
Course lessons

Assessment of therapy outcome
Adverse events of botulinum therapy
Adverse events: what was injected, how much was injected, how it was injected
Complications are often related to injection technique
Mechanisms of neuroplasticity
Is it possible to manage sprouting.
Lesson 2. Complications in the frontal area
Patient sensations, cause, how to correct:
