Episode 184 hosts Dr Rungsima Wanitphakdeedecha, a dermatologist, laser and injectable expert based in Bangkok, Thailand. 

Rungsima has a wealth of experience using all of the commerically available toxins, has led research in the field and has published peer-reviewed journals on the topic.

In this mini series 'The Tox Talks', we feature expert injectors who have significant experience in using botulinum toxins. These episodes explore our guests experiences using particular brands, the evolution of their injecting techniques and we get special insights into the subtle nuances of getting the best out of toxins.

In chapter 4 we focus on a niche use of toxins most commonly referred to as 'micro-toxin treatments'. 

We explore:

- What we mean by micro-toxin treatments

- Who started doing micro-toxin treatments

- Why micro-toxin treatments are so popular in Asia

- The proposed mechanisms by which micro-toxin treatments work 

- Which toxins seem to work best for micro-toxin treatments

- The main uses, techniques, doses/dilutions of micro-toxin treatments including:

• Skin rejuventation
• 'Facial lifting'
• Sebum reduction/acne improvement
• rosacea
• Hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating)

- Some more unusual uses of micro-toxin including:

• Surgical scar prevention/improvement
• Hayfever symptom control
• Neuropathic pain reduction
• Retractile testicle pain
