11th Toxins Webinar
Study on Botulinum Toxin in Facial Diseases and Aesthetics
As President of the Italian Association of Aesthetic Botulinum Toxin Therapy (AITEB, Associazione Italiana Terapia Estetica Botulino), it is with great pleasure that I introduce this Special Issue of Toxins. This monograph is dedicated to the diverse applications of botulinum neurotoxin in facial aesthetics and function, a field that has seen remarkable innovation and grown to become a cornerstone of modern medical practice.
Today, its applications range from intricate aesthetic enhancements and subtle facial re-contouring to the management of complex functional disorders. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of this evolution, bringing together cutting-edge research, clinical insights, and expert perspectives from leading professionals around the world.
Our goal is to explore the spectrum of botulinum toxin's utility in the face, covering not only established techniques but also emerging applications. This includes the treatment of hyperfunctional lines, facial asymmetry, and masseter hypertrophy, as well as its role in alleviating conditions such as bruxism and chronic migraines. The contributions within this volume highlight the importance of a deep anatomical understanding, precise injection techniques, and a patient-centred approach to achieve optimal and natural-looking outcomes.
