With his Pictorial Atlas of Botulinum Toxin Injection: Dosage, Localization, Application, Dr. Jost has compiled a detailed atlas of neurotoxin injection techniques. This is a complete volume covering injection locations for treating specific muscles, as well as the requisite injection technique for each area. It features a variety of superbly illustrated anatomical images, models, and demonstrations.
The first 180 pages deal largely with injection techniques applicable to physiatrists and physical medicine practitioners treating musculoskeletal disorders with neuromodulators; the remainder of the text addresses injection techniques applicable for cosmetic medicine. From page 188 onward, there are excellent diagrams and images of injection techniques for the platysma and facial musculature. At page 244, injection techniques are detailed for hyperhidrosis of feet, axilla, and hands. While the majority of this atlas details injection techniques that address spasticity or “trigger points,” the part that is applicable to cosmetic medicine is worth the purchase as a reference and teaching tool.
