Botulinum toxin masterclass

Explore why botulinum toxin treatment requires an individual plan. Prof Reha Yavuzer introduces the programme through patient expectations, muscle function and facial movement, explaining why one standard pattern cannot suit every patient.

Study facial muscles across the upper, mid and lower face as Prof Reha Yavuzer draws them directly on a model. Connect their depth, attachments and relationships with the movements seen during facial assessment.

Follow the assessment of a patient concerned about an angry expression. See how forehead activity, brow movement and anatomical landmarks shape the plan for the glabella, forehead and lateral eye area, with each marking explained.

Watch the treatment planned in the assessment module. Dr Sylwia Lipko-Godlewska explains needle direction, injection depth, dose and hand positioning throughout, then outlines what she will review at the two-week follow-up.

See how brows that appear level at rest reveal different patterns during movement. Prof Reha Yavuzer maps the anatomy on the patient and explains how differences across the forehead, glabella and lateral eye area change his treatment plan.

Follow the treatment developed in the preceding assessment. Prof Reha Yavuzer explains why injection points and doses differ between sides, demonstrates changes in depth and identifies what he will reassess at follow-up.

Follow the assessment of a first-time botulinum toxin patient. Dr Claudia Petrea shows how gaps in eyebrow hair can mislead marking, then examines brow movement, activity around the eyes and nasalis contraction to plan treatment.

Before treating the same patient, Dr Claudia Petrea explains her choices of injection placement, depth and direction. Follow her reasoning around brow and eyelid position, preserving forehead movement and anticipating unwanted effects.

Watch Dr Claudia Petrea carry out the preceding plan across the glabella, forehead, lateral eye area, under-eye region and nasalis. Follow her explanations of injection depth, dose, skin handling and hand positioning.

Study the muscles around the mouth, chin and neck through anatomical mapping and movement on a model. Connect their relative depths and opposing actions with treatment planning for the lips, mouth corners, chin and platysma.

Follow a second demonstration focused on neck movement, platysmal bands and masseter assessment. Prof Reha Yavuzer uses contraction and palpation to identify muscle boundaries, compare activity between sides and explain planned injection placement and depth.

Follow a consultation with a patient concerned about an angry expression, heavy-looking eyes and downturned mouth corners. Dr Iman Nurlin connects these concerns with brow movement, chin activity and platysmal contraction, explaining the proposed plan to the patient.

See how assessment becomes a detailed injection plan across the upper face, DAO, mentalis and selected platysmal bands. Dr Iman Nurlin explains placement, depth and which areas she leaves untreated to preserve brow elevation, smile and lower-lip movement.

Watch the planned treatment across the upper face, DAO, mentalis and selected platysmal bands. Follow Dr Iman Nurlin’s use of movement and palpation to locate treatment sites, with explanations of dose, needle angle, depth and hand positioning.

Follow a consultation with a patient concerned about facial sagging after significant weight loss during GLP-1 therapy. Dr Sylwia Lipko-Godlewska explores her history and ongoing weight-loss plans, then explains the roles of toxin, targeted volume restoration and skin-quality treatments.

Follow anatomical marking, movement checks and toxin treatment across the upper face, nose, chin and jawline. Dr Sylwia Lipko-Godlewska explains needle direction, depth and dose, including why she leaves direct treatment of platysmal bands for reassessment at follow-up.

Return to the patient previously treated by Prof Reha Yavuzer in Case 2. Dr Sylwia Lipko-Godlewska assesses her pronounced muscle asymmetry and develops a full-face treatment plan. Compare what each expert notices, what they choose to treat and how their assessment leads to different treatment decisions.

Watch Dr Sylwia Lipko-Godlewska carry out the plan developed in the preceding assessment. Follow her injection technique across the face, with explanations of the decisions behind treatment. See how a second expert approaches the same patient beyond the upper-face treatment shown in Case 2.

Watch Prof Reha Yavuzer and Dr Sylwia Lipko-Godlewska assess and treat identical twins side by side. See how closely similar faces are assessed individually and how each expert connects their findings with treatment planning and technique. Compare two expert approaches within one shared clinical session.
