Review quote
The clear, well-drawn illustrations that demonstrate exactly where the injections should be made are the book''s strongest feature... This is a high quality, well-illustrated instruction manual on the clinical use of botulinum toxin injections in the treatment of a variety of head and neck disorders. It provides very clear illustrations and explicit instructions on the technique for each disorder. Alan Micco, M.D., Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Doody''s Review Service
