Botox is moving beyond its traditional role as a generalised anti-ageing remedy. It is now approached as a sophisticated art form with the term strategic dosing is entering the spotlight. This method emphasises not merely aesthetic enhancement but a deeper appreciation for the dynamics of facial anatomy, tailored to preserve and accentuate natural expressions.
Dr Karim Sayed of Ouronyx Dubai, a leader in aesthetic medicine, explains the intricate philosophy behind this approach. “Strategic dosing is fundamentally about respecting each individual’s unique facial muscle structure. We meticulously adjust the dose based on the strength and function of each muscle, which prevents the unnatural ‘frozen’ appearance and supports a more vibrant and expressive visage,” he states. His practice counters the prevalent trend of micro-Botox, advocating instead for precise, muscle-specific applications that maintain both expression and movement.
Supporting Dr Sayed’s philosophy, Dr Jeannie Khavkin of FAYY Health in Dubai adds her insight on the importance of accurate dosing and advanced application techniques. “Understanding the size and strength of facial muscles is crucial in determining the correct Botox dosage. By integrating traditional techniques with a microdroplet approach, we target both deep and superficial muscle fibres, achieving results that are not only effective but also aesthetically pleasing,” Dr Khavkin explains. This method enhances natural beauty while ensuring the longevity of the treatment’s effects, promoting a subtly rejuvenated appearance.
Dr Khavkin further elaborates on the patient-centric benefits, “The beauty of strategic dosing lies in its ability to tailor treatments to the individual’s lifestyle and facial dynamics. This personalised approach not only enhances outcomes but also maximises patient satisfaction by aligning treatment with personal aesthetics and functional needs.”
