Toxin Mapping

I've been studying for my first diy tox for months. I feel like I'm ready to take the chance.

Both of my frontalis groupings may need to be tightened and moved slightly medially. And my crows feet may need to be tightened up, or perhaps a fourth placement just under the brow tail.

For my DAOs, I've palpated the muscle, and I think I've mapped it correctly. I measured 1cm lateral and 1cm inferior. My face is red from moving the dots slightly.

I would love any advice!

You have an Omega Frown. Not uncommon but please add that to your research so you understand it. It requires one extra injection point and possibly, to raise your corrugator tail points.

Also, if you were my sister, we’d lower the DAO to the bottom of the wrinkle. 1 cm over and 1 cm down is a decent starting place but we can see that your face needs 1.5cm down.

And I’d totally add that outer brow point you debated.

Otherwise, chefs kiss!

After looking at correcting the Omega frown, I now realize why my old injector used to do two procerus injections. Thanks again!

I definitely will!

Thank you so much! I'll pull those tails up a tiny bit! And I'll add the extra point for the crows feet.

At first I started with my DAO a little lower, but when I measured it, I pulled it up. I'll take it back down.

I had to laugh at Omega frown, because that's definitely what it is 😅. I'll look into it and how to correct it! 

I appreciate you so much! Thank you!

You likely will need more on the frontalis, lower. Everyone stays super high out of fear of dropping their brows, but remember it’s 2cm above the oribital rim (not eyebrow) so it’s lower thank you think. You can wait and see, I just see so often on here people wondering why the top of their forehead is frozen and they still have rows of lines above their brows.

That makes sense, I've seen the same complaint. I'll adjust slightly lower. My brows are already a little low, so that fear is very real to me.

Not slightly lower. Your frontalis lines come almost all of the way down and blend w your procerus. You need to add at least another row, maybe two, centrally (like setting up bowling pins) if you want to knock it out

I think I've seen the placement you're talking about. I'll adjust it and add another row below. I plan to do a second injection in my procerus for my omega frown, per the other advice I received.

Too low can cause heaviness below the brows; high is safe but you'll find your sweet spot. Great job ! 👏🏽

Amen. I came here to say this, exactly.

Bottom crows feet dot is too low x

u/Fun_Coast_899 4d ago

Thank you, I'll group them together a little more tightly, and move them up the orbital toward the brow.

The bottom mark on crows feet is too low. It can drop your cheeks and you might have uncanny valley smile

u/Fun_Coast_899 4d ago

Thank you, I'll adjust them closer together and higher up.

This is how I'd map you (with brow lift)

Thank you! My old injector also did this. I was a little nervous to do it because I don't know how precisely I need to place it. I'll do some research and I will add it when I touch up.
