Essentials of Neuromodulation describes the application of neuromodulation for aesthetic purposes. Detailed for readers are all essential aspects of neuromodulation treatment, including how to best safeguard patients. This volume provides an increased anatomical understanding of the injection anatomy within the face in an effort to focus on standard of care and set an industry standard in cosmetic injectables. Given the highly specialized training required for this skill, it details the history as well as the mechanism of action for each FDA-approved neuromodulating drug on the market. Unique anatomical renderings by medical artist Kevin Cease provide accurate and detailed anatomy to correlate beautifully with the content. With before, during, and after photos of more than 20 models and written detailed descriptions, diagrams, tables, and charts, all types of learners with every style of learning will benefit from this one-of-a-kind book. This book is a stepping stone for in-depth knowledge into this specialty field and begin to set the standard for entrance into the practice of aesthetics.

31. Bibliography
Dr. Delle Chiaie began working in medicine in 2002, initially as a Registered Nurse Practitioner, before ultimately pursuing a PhD in cognitive neuroscience. Her experience both in medical practice followed by her experimental work in neuromodulation and its implementation has equipped her with the unique background to incorporate multiple perspectives to advance readers' knowledge on the interdisciplinary field of neuroaesthetics. In her research position at the University of New Hampshire, she is passionate about better understanding how the brain represents aesthetic behavior and the neurobiology underlying our preferences for aesthetics and teaching others.
