Episode 158 hosts Dr Niamh Corduff, a plastic surgeon based in Geelong, Australia. Dr Corduff also consults as a global trainer and a Key Opinion Leader for Merz Aesthetics. In this new mini series, 'The Tox Talks', we feature expert injectors who have significant experience in using a particular brand of botulinum toxin as well as teaching other injectors how to use it.  Each of these episodes explores our guest's experience using a specific toxin, the evolution of their injecting techniques, how they train other injectors and we get special insights into the subtle nuances of getting the best of out their preferred toxin. Chapter 1 of The Tox Talks focuses on the brand known as Xeomin or Boucouture, distributed by Merz Aesthetics. This is a non-sponsored episode and does not replace training in any way. Our guest speaks from her own experiences and we do not promote or endorse any brand of product.  We explore: - Dr Corduff's background as a plastic surgeon and why she turned to non-surgical treatments - Her role as a KOL for Merz Aesthetics  - Her insights into how the use of toxins has changed over the years - What changes she's seen in her capacity as a trainer when teaching injectors to use toxins - Xeomin: What it is, what it looks like and how it's manufactured - Why Xeomin is called Boucouture in some countries - How Xeomin is reconstituted including her preferred diluent and the volume  - What differentiates Xeomin from other brands of botulinum toxin including it's lack of accessory proteins - Does this really help avoid the development of autoantibodies and the chances of toxin resistance?  - Does Xeomin work in patients who had developed toxin resistance to other brands? - How long Xeomin results last on average - We find out whether there's a special technique when injecting Xeomin - We ask if Dr Corduff only uses Xeomin or whether there's a place for other toxins in her practice - What needles/syringes she likes using and why?  - Insights into how she consults with toxin patients - A novel trick she uses to significantly reduce the risk of bruising   Show your support for IA via Patreon Follow IA on Instagram Visit our website  Subscribe to IA on Apple Podcasts Subscribe to IA on Spotify Contact Dr Jake & David  More about Dr Jake Follow Dr Jake on Instagram  Follow David on Instagram  Follow Lori on Instagram Follow Dr Corduff on Instagram: www.instagram.com/dr.niamhcorduff
