💉 Can Zinc Help Your Botox Last Longer? 🤔

Curious if zinc supplements can extend the effects of your Botox treatments? A 2012 study found that combining 50 mg of zinc with phytase (as in the supplement Zytase™) could increase Botox’s duration by about 30% . This is because zinc plays a crucial role in Botox’s mechanism by aiding the enzyme that blocks nerve signals.  

However, experts advise caution. While taking zinc supplements is generally safe, excessive intake can lead to side effects and may interfere with other medications . It’s always best to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.

🌟 Hello! Today, let's chat about something that's been on my mind since moving from Canada to the sunny shores of Australia. 🌞

As a cosmetic injector, I've faced a unique challenge in marketing my services here, especially when it comes to certain words and brand names that we’re not allowed to use in Australia.🤔 But hey, who doesn't love a good challenge?

So, about anti-wrinkle treatments... Yes, we often hear 'anti-wrinkle this' and 'anti-wrinkle that' 🤷‍♀️, but did you know these treatments are so much more than just wrinkle-smoothers? They're great for brow lifts, easing that pesky mouth frown, and a whole lot more! ✨

Also, can we talk about the term "anti-wrinkle"? Personally, I'm not a huge fan. Why? Because it's not just about battling those lines. Over the past decade, I've enjoyed educating my clients that our goal extends beyond just wrinkle-fighting. It's about enhancing your natural appearance, whether that's restoring volume with dermal fillers in places like the temples or sharpening your jawline, or just giving your skin that youthful, vibrant glow.

Fun fact: This photo? Snapped it a few years back in Miami at the South Beach Symposium. Fantastic conference, highly recommend it to my injector friends in Australia! 📸. Swipe to the left to see the Barbie “anti-wrinkle” and filler set.

And speaking of amazing Aussies, shoutout to the fabulous Margo Robbie for her Best Actress nomination at the Critics Choice awards this January! 🌟 Go, Margo!

Let's embrace aging gracefully together, with or without the wrinkles.

I found this old relic in my office the other day. It’s a promotional item that gave me back when I first started injecting Botox in 2014. It was shortly after I had completed Botox training with Dr. Martin Braun .
It’s still unopened as I had never found the right space for it. I wonder if I could sell it on EBay 😉

Either one of the incorrect projection of the lips or ratio of upper to lower lip height can lead to "trout pout" or "duck lips."⁠
⁠
What is the ideal lip projection? According to math and the golden ratio, Φ or 1.618..., when looking at a side profile of the face, (from an imaginary line from the subnasion (SN) to the pogonion [POG]—see diagram), the top lip should project further than the lower lip, 3.5 mm for the top lip, and 2.2 mm for the bottom lip projection. To put this in simpler terms, 2.2 x Φ.⁠

Recent trends with social media have pushed the classic ideal 1:1.6 upper to lower lip height ratio (slightly less than 40:60) closer to 1:1. That can be a matter of personal preference, but I don't think a reasonable aesthetic argument can be made to have an upper lip height > than the lower lip. That's a recipe for "duck lips."
⁠
Over filling the lateral lips can also contribute to the "trout pout" look.
