But what if you were unknowingly putting patients at risk with dermal fillers? Some speculation and recent articles have suggested that soft tissue fillers used for cosmetic enhancement may be linked to lymphatic system blocking. In this blog, Dr Tim Pearce will review these claims and aim to get to the truth, exploring the presented study, the moisture-retaining properties of hyaluronic acid and how this could affect the experiment undertaken, whether dermal fillers can indeed block the lymphatic system, and if they can impact the immune system, alongside general safety. https://lnkd.in/ePviqanp

Understanding how sugar affects our body and skin is crucial for both optimal health and aesthetic outcomes. Dr Tim's latest blog for Aesthetic Practitioners looks at the science behind sugar and aging https://lnkd.in/eHjinwJJ.

Unwanted dynamic effects are caused by undertreatment or overtreatment with botulinum toxin; they are more commonplace than potentially more serious complications, yet, we must still aim to avoid them to ensure patient satisfaction from treatment. In this blog for Aesthetic Clinicians, Dr Tim Pearce will discuss the dynamics of the S-shaped brow, the anatomy, and how it happens, alongside injection strategies to avoid it. https://lnkd.in/eXRCzZCV

Thankfully, dry eye following botulinum toxin or Botox® injections is rare, and by minimising a few risks, it is an easily avoided treatment complication. In this blog for Aesthetic Clinicians, Dr Tim Pearce will discuss the anatomy and position of the lacrimal gland, safe injection techniques, dosing and placement of botulinum toxin to avoid causing dry eye, and other side effects including lower lid “ledges”, lower lid descent, and ectropion eyelid. https://lnkd.in/dtW982bQ

In this blog for Aesthetic Clinicians, Dr Tim Pearce will discuss relevant anatomy around the eye, highlighting key structures using 3D anatomy tools from his ProInjector training, share optimal injection depths and spacing strategies to protect sensitive eye muscles, give you practical steps for safe and effective results, and help you avoid common pitfalls with periocular Botox treatments. https://lnkd.in/eGD7Jvpu

Wrinkle-relaxing treatments are often part of the aesthetic treatment journey. However, we must ensure that patients are protected from potential negative side effects when delivering these treatments, including eyelid ptosis. In his latest blog for Aesthetic Clinicians, Dr Tim Pearce explains the causes of eye-related complications and how to avoid them by altering injection technique. He also discusses the importance of 3D Anatomy (used extensively in his ProInjector training) which improves visualisation of ‘danger areas’ that can lead to negative outcomes. https://lnkd.in/eka-jhQR
