Treating forehead lines with Botox®

Botox or botulinum toxin will soften forehead lines and wrinkles. Practitoners can see how a few small injections can give the patient smooth forehead skin after a few days. Tim Eldridge, Chairman of CODE and board member of the Association for Facial Aesthetics demonstrates the Botox technique and gives the patient aftercare instructions.

Tim is a dental surgeon and one of CODE's top trainers. He has taught many courses over the years on hundreds of patients and we have never had a ptosis (droopy eyelid) or infection at the site of injection.

WHY scratch the skin??????? You are technically contaminating the needle!!!!! You are still injecting subdermally.!!

Tim, are you a Registered Nurse or Practioner or PA or MD? I believe it's illegal for unlicensed persons to be injecting. Your technique is very different and I see you're injecting in some zones that could cause an eyelid droop. Botox is injected into the muscle--your angle of injecting is subdermal, and I never heard of scratching the skin with the needle first--you are contaminating the needle before insertion.
