“…In the conventional method, botulinum toxin is injected into the deeper muscle layer to achieve muscle relaxation, whereas, with the 'microbotox' technique, diluted microdroplets of botulinum toxin are injected more superficially into the deep dermis or into the subcutaneous layer, which can achieve cutaneous effects like refinement of skin pores, reduction in sebum and sweat production, and improvements in the flushing seen in rosacea. [5][6][7][8][9] However, this technique requires skill, and the quality of results achieved is highly operator dependent. 8 Skin remodelling with injectable biostimulators Among injectable fillers, traditional HA-based fillers to restore volume and contour are still very popular, but the use of biostimulators is increasing because these promote the synthesis of collagen to produce longer-lasting results.…”

“…‘Microbotox’ is a technique for delivering botulinum toxin that can provide cutaneous benefits beyond muscle relaxation, 4 and is now being increasingly used by dermatologists. In the conventional method, botulinum toxin is injected into the deeper muscle layer to achieve muscle relaxation, whereas, with the ‘microbotox’ technique, diluted microdroplets of botulinum toxin are injected more superficially into the deep dermis or into the subcutaneous layer, which can achieve cutaneous effects like refinement of skin pores, reduction in sebum and sweat production, and improvements in the flushing seen in rosacea 5‐9 . However, this technique requires skill, and the quality of results achieved is highly operator dependent 8 …”

The Science Behind Nefertiti's Beauty: A Plastic Surgeon's Analysis

“…Dr. Hunter also emphasises Nefertiti's flawless skin as an aspect of her beauty. While ancient Egyptian beauty standards valued smooth, unblemished skin, Dr. Hunter believes Nefertiti's radiant complexion was due to her use of natural ingredients such as aloe vera and honey, which were commonly used in ancient Egyptian beauty regimens [6][7] .
