Lip Flip
Indications
A small improvement in the visible pink lip can be achieved by the use of BoNTA. This can be used to enhance the upper and/or lower lips.
Anatomic Considerations
The orbicularis oris muscle is the sphincter that surrounds the mouth. The pull of the muscle is toward
the centre; therefore, weakening this pull will allow the upper lip elevators and the lower lip depressors to increase their pull on the lips. This pull will result in a more visible pink lip and a slight lip lift.
Injection Technique
Botulinum toxin is injected at the base of the philtrum at the vermillion border. The corresponding location of the lower lip may also be injected. Approximately 1 to 2 BU is used for each injection.
Bunny Lines
Indications
Bunny lines are wrinkles that radiate from the medial canthal region and run inferomedially on each side of the nose. Bunny lines are not found on every client and are not universally disliked but can be unacceptable for some clients. Occasionally these rhytids contribute to deep horizontal glabellar rhytids. In these cases, BoNTA injections can be used to soften this region.
Anatomic Considerations
The superior portion of the nasalis muscle originates over each incisor foramen and inserts into an aponeurosis on the nasal dorsum. At this aponeurosis, the fibres meet those of the opposite nasalis muscle and the midline procerus muscle. When contracted, these muscles create wrinkles or lines on the nose as well as pull the centre of the forehead down and contribute to horizontal glabellar creases.
Injection technique
Topical anesthesia may be used, and ice may be applied, though neither is necessary in most cases. The client is usually asked to wrinkle his/her nose up “like a bunny”. This will indicate where the muscle is located and the strength of the nasalis fibres. A single injection of 2 to 3 BU is placed per side. The muscle is not deep, so the injection need only be placed in the subdermal subcutaneous tissue. A single injection point can be placed into the muscle on each side. Assessing muscle location and activity during contraction is essential in determining the proper placement of BoNTA in this area. Another technique is to insert the needle across the belly of the muscle and then inject retrograde. The injection occurs perpendicular to the direction of the actual bunny lines seen during muscle contraction. Alternatively, for larger muscles and extensive lines, more injections can be placed, with care being taken not to extend too far laterallv.
Gummy Smile
Indications
Some clients pull their upper lip up dramatically whilst smiling, which reveals a large part of the gingival tissue, often referred to as a “gummy smile”.
Anatomic Considerations
The upper lip is elevated during smiling by the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscles. These muscles originate on the frontal process of the maxilla and insert on the skin of the lateral aspect of the nostril and upper lip. Unilateral contraction of this muscle results in an upper lip snarl, and this muscle has been referred to as the “Elvis” muscle.
Injection technique
Topical anesthesia may be used, however, this single injection (per side) usually can be tolerated without anesthesia. The Levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle travels just lateral to the nose; 1 to 2 BU is used in this area. Titrate to determine the necessary dosing for the client.
Down Turn Smile
Indications
Neurotoxin can be injected in the depressor anguli oris (DA) muscles to elevate the oral commissures. This is indicated in clients with downturned corners of the mouth. Neurotoxin alone can be used in this area, but most often must be combined with filler injections to the oral commissure.
Anatomic Considerations
The DAO muscle originates along the oblique line of the mandible and inserts into the modiolus. Contraction of the DAO muscle pulls down the corners of the mouth. Weakening this muscle will result in a compensatory upward pull of the zygomaticus muscles, which result in elevation of the oral commissure.
Injection Technique
A single injection per muscle is suggested and well tolerated. The DAO muscle should be palpated while having the client actively frown. If the belly of the muscle cannot be palpated, a rough estimate of its location can be made by going 1 cm lateral to the oral commissure and then 1 cm inferiorly. Inject approximately 2 to 5 BU or 6 to 15 DU deeply into each muscle.
Dimpled Chin
Indications
Some clients inadvertently wrinkle their chins either at rest or while talking. Usually it is not noticed by the client until it is pointed out by the practitioner. Dimpled chins can also be seen after chin implants or in clients with retrognathia. Atrophy of the subcutaneous fat and dermis overlying the muscles can contribute to a dimpled appearance. Because this dimpling somewhat resembles the skin of an orange, this deformity is called “peau d’orange” chin.
Anatomic Considerations
The paired mentalis muscles originate on the incisor fossa of the mandible and insert directly onto the dermis of the chin skin. Contraction of the mentalis muscles elevates the lower lip, producing a “pout”. Contraction also contributes to the mental crease.
Injection technique
Botulinum toxin is injected deeply into each muscle in three or four injection sites. A total of 3 to 10 BU or 9 to 30 DU is injected.
Tinker Bell Nose
Indications
Neurotoxin can be injected into the base of the nasal columella to produce subtle elevation of the nasal tip (increase tip rotation). This is indicated in clients with a mild dropping of the nasal tip. It will not improve a severely ptotic nose with thick, sebaceous skin. Consider surgical treatment for severely ptotic noses. This procedure is a mild “finesse” technique.
Anatomic Considerations
The depressor septi nasi muscle is an extension of the orbicularis muscle and inserts onto the medial crural footplates. It pulls the nasal tip down while smiling. Weakening of this muscle will result in elevation of the tip or widening of the nasolabial angle. The nasolabial angle should be approximately 90 degrees in men and more obtuse in women.
Injection Technique
Topical anesthesia may be used; however, this single injection usually can be tolerated without anesthesia. The depressor septi nasi muscle is located at the base of the columella and is the muscle targeted with the injection. Use approximately 2 BU (Botox units)or 5 to 9 DU (Dysport Units).
Nostril Flare
Indications
Some individuals inadvertently flare their nostrils whilst speaking.
Anatomic Considerations
The dilator nasalis muscle is the lower portion of the nasals muscle and attaches to the alar cartilage Contraction of the dilator nasalis muscles results in alar flaring. This muscle lies superficial to the lateral crura of the lower lateral cartilage.
Injection Technique
Topical anesthesia may be used; however, this single injection can usually be tolerated without anesthesia. One injection point is used on either side. Approximately 5 BU or 15 DU are used per side. Inject into the immediate subdermal tissue, with care being taken to avoid the alar cartilage.
Jawline & Mandibular
Indications
Square jawlines and wide mandibular borders are often desirable mascline characteristics but can be unattractive for women and become exaggerated when anatomic hypertrophy exists. Bruxism (teeth grinding), anxiety, and clenching can lead to masseter muscle enlargement and accentuate the horizontal width of the mandibular border. Occasionally Asian clients note hypertrophic masseter muscles and may request improvement in this area.
Anatomic Consideration
The masseter muscle’s origin is along the inferior aspect of the anterior zygomatic arch and it inserts into the angle of the mandible along both the horizontal (body) and vertical portions of the mandible (ramus).
Injection Technique
Two different techniques for injecting the muscle can be attempted: intraoral or transcutaneous. In the intraoral technique, the injector thumb is placed inside the buccal mucosa until the angle of the mandible is palpated and the client is asked to bite down (but not on the injectors finger!). The anterior edge of the masseter muscle is palpated between the thumb and fingers of the same hand resting outside on the cheek. A 1 inch, 30 gauge needle is passed intraorally anterior to the mandibular ramus and into the muscle belly. This will be somewhat uncomfortable for the client. BoNTA is injected in a retrograde fashion as the needle is withdrawn. Two to Four passes are performed in several tangential intramuscular injections for a total of 20 BU to the muscle. In the transcutaneous technique, it is useful to place one finger along the lower border of the mandible, one along the vertical border of the mandible and one as a reference at the inner aspect of the mandibular angle with the client clenching as a way to mark out the perimeter of the muscle. With a half or ¾ inch needle or longer, injection can be performed inside that perimeter down to just above the bone and depot injections of 4 to 5 units can be placed per area. An average of 20 units should be used depending on the mass of the muscle being treated.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Anti-Wrinkle injections temporarily block the nerve impulses to muscles. Preventing them from moving. It is injected as a solution into precise areas on the skin to smooth out the fine lines and wrinkles of the desired ared.

Profhilo
What is Profhilo?
Profhilo is not a mesotherapy product, neither is it a dermal filler. Profhilo is a stabilised hyaluronic acid BDDE-free stabilised injectable based product for treating skin laxity. With one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market (64mg / 2ml) it is not only boosting and hydrating the skin but also remodels the ageing and sagging tissue.
Profhilo delivers great results as a treatment on its own or in combination with other aesthetics treatments currently on offer. As a result of the ageing process and lifestyle factors, skin can begin to sag, lose radiance and lose firmness. Although these changes to a client’s skin are perfectly normal, it can still affect self-esteem. Profhilo is an amazing new anti-ageing treatment designed to give the skin a tightened appearance with improved tone and texture.
It is a unique facial remodelling treatment which works to plump out wrinkles rather than just fill them. The high-purity hyaluronic acid used in Profhilo is released slowly, stimulating the production of collagen which renews and rejuvenates the appearance of the skin.

Intramuscular Injections
An intramuscular injection is a technique used to deliver medication deep into the muscles. This allows the medication to be absorbed into the bloodstream quickly. You may have received an intramuscular injection at a doctors office the last time you got a vaccine, like the flu shot. In some cases, a person may also self-administer an intramuscular injection. For example, certain drugs that treat multiple sclerosis or rheumatoid arthritis may require self-injection.

Vitamin B12 - £25
Vitamin B12, also called cobalamin, is a water soluble vitamin that is involved in the metabolism of every cell of the human body: it is a cofactor in DNA synthesis, and in both fatty acid and amino acid metabolism. It is particularly important in the normal functioning of the nervous system via its role in the synthesis of myelin and in the maturation of developing red blood cells in the bone marrow.
Vitamin B is one of eight vitamins; it is the largest and most structurally complicated vitamin. It consists of a class of chemically related compounds (vitamers), all of which show physiological activity. It contains the biochemically rare element cobalt (chemical symbol Co) positioned in the centre of a corrin ring. The only organisms to produce vitamin B12 are certain bacteria, and archaea. Some of these bacteria are found in the soil around the grasses that ruminants eat; they are taken into the animal, proliferate, form part of their gut flora, continue to produce vitamin B12.
There are no naturally occurring notable vegetable dietary sources of the vitamin, so vegans and vegetarians are advised to take a supplement or fortified foods. Otherwise, most omnivores people in developed countries obtain enough vitamin B12 from consuming animal products, including meat, milk, eggs and fish. Staple foods, especially those that form part of a vegan diet, are often fortified by having the vitamin added to them. Vitamin B12 supplements are available in single agent or multivitamin tablets; and pharmaceutical preparations may be given by intramuscular injection.
The most common cause of vitamin B12 deficiency in developed countries is impaired absorption due to a loss of gastric intrinsic factor, which must be bound to food-source B12 in order for absorption to occur. Another group affected are those on long term antacid therapy, using proton pump inhibitors. H2 blockers or other antacids. The condition may be characterised by limp neuropathy or a blood disorder called pernicious anemia, a type of megaloblastic anemia. Folate levels in the individual may affect the course of pathological changes and symptomatology. Deficiency is more likely after the age of 60, and increases in incidence with advancing age. Dietary deficiency is very rare in developed countries due to access to dietary meat and fortified foods, but children in some regions of developing countries are at particular risk due to increased requirements during growth coupled with lack of access to dietary B12; adults in these regions are also at risk. Other causes of vitamin B12 deficiency are much less frequent.
Vitamin C - £35
Vitamin C enables the body to efficiently use carbohydrates, fats and protein. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, a nutrient that chemically binds and neutralises the tissue damaging effects of free radicals. It is essential for the growth and health of bones, teeth, gums, ligaments and blood vessels. Vitamin C is also vital in the key role of the formation of collagen and the proper functioning of all internal organs.
Vitamin C is found in many foods, including citrus fruits such as oranges, grapefruits and lemons. It is also found in green vegetables such as spinach, broccoli and cabbage, as well as tomatoes
Vitamin D - £45
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, which is critical in absorbing calcium and phosphate from the intestines. The first of the two forms is Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), which is normally found in plants. The second form is Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), which synthesised using sunlight at the level of the skin, or can be taken as a supplement or given as an injection.
