Article Synopsis
- A new injection technique called the "Toxin Lift" has shown to enhance midfacial volume through neuromodulator treatments, which may help reduce the appearance of infraorbital hollows.
- In a study involving 35 volunteers, researchers assessed the impact of injecting neuromodulators into the platysma on the severity of infraorbital hollows using 3D imaging and clinical evaluations.
- Results demonstrated a significant volume increase and skin displacement in the infraorbital area at 15 days post-injection, indicating that the "Toxin Lift" technique effectively improves the appearance of infraorbital hollows based on facial biomechanics.
Background: Neuromodulators have predominantly been used for the treatment of upper facial lines, but their use has expanded to include lower face and neck treatments. However, the injection sites for these treatments are based on skin surface landmarks, which may pose risks to nearby structures and result in undesired outcomes.
Objective: To investigate the spatial relationship between the FDA-approved skin surface landmarks for neuromodulator injections in the parotid and submandibular glands and the topographical anatomy of critical facial structures such as the facial artery, facial vein, external carotid artery, and retromandibular vein.
