Abstract
Botulinum toxin is usually injected into the muscles and glands, except during intradermal injection procedures. Botulinum toxin injection requires thorough anatomical understanding because even though target muscles for each indication are specific, we can only rely on the surface anatomy when injecting. In the last 15 years, anatomical research related to minimally invasive aesthetic treatments has greatly contributed to improving the precision compared to blind injection techniques.
