Botulinum toxin pharmacology, the muscles of expression, dosing principles, prescribing rules and safety. Theory only.
About this course
This course covers the pharmacology of botulinum toxin, the muscles of facial expression and their interplay, standard treatment areas and dosing principles, reconstitution and storage, and the UK framework: prescription-only status, face-to-face prescriber assessment, and advertising restrictions.
