Abstract
Aim and background: To introduce micro botulinum toxin therapy (MBT) for the treatment of aging skin, scarring, and other skin therapies.
Historical aspects: Mesotherapy involved the injection of microdoses of vitamins and nutrients, and serves as the backdrop for this current intervention.
Anatomy: MBT is advocated to work on improving both epidermal and dermal damage through cellular repair induced by dilute botulinum toxin (BT).
Technology: The technique does not require any sophisticated technology to perform other than a syringe loaded with dilute BT.
Patient selection: Patients of all Fitzpatricks and ages are eligible for therapy without risk other than rare, temporary paresis.
Techniques: The technique involves injection of hyperdilute BT intradermally across the entire expanse of the face, neck, chest, etc., to effect desired skin changes.
Postoperative care: None.
Current and future development: Other ingredients could be added to further enhance the efficacy of MBT.
Conclusion and clinical relevance: MBT offers unparalleled safety and efficacy in all skin types for a variety of skin improvements, including active acne, acne scarring, pores, texture, and generalized cutaneous sun damage and aging.
