This is a fantastic guide to botox procedures. I feel I learned more from this book than the actual course I took, combining both is a wealth of knowledge. I prefer to follow Dr Rebecca Smalls procedures to anything else I have learned. I highly recommend this book and I am looking forward to buying all of Dr Smalls books.
