Episode notes
Customize Botox Use Carefully
- Botox is not suitable for everyone, especially mature patients sensitive to heavy muscle feeling.
- Customize Botox treatment based on individual aging patterns and goals, not for everyone uniformly.
Consider Alternative Neuromodulators
- Try new neuromodulators like Xeomin or Daxxify if you develop Botox resistance.
- Be cautious of new cheaper botulinum toxins and their unknown effectiveness.
Be Cautious With Exosomes
- Prefer stem cell and growth factor treatments over unapproved exosomes right now.
- Don't trust exosomes yet due to lack of FDA approval and reproducible products.
