Neuromodulator injections for treating upper facial lines is the most common aesthetic request for injectors all around the world. Smoothening horizontal forehead lines, relaxing vertical and horizontal glabellar lines are performed on a daily basis. Despite being “just” toxin injections, adverse events occur frequently and can include eyebrow and eyelid ptosis. Learn in this module the precise 3-dimensional anatomy of the upper facial muscles and how the are connected and intertwined. See safe and precise neuromodulator injection techniques simulated on predissected body donors which will help you understand and master upper facial toxin treatments.
