The AZZOPARDI CLASSIFICTION OF CHROMOPHORES: Background: Chromophore-containing molecules feature extensively in surgical practice, with synthetic dyes gaining popularity over endogenous optical adjuncts. New applications for chromophores in diagnostics and operative treatment exploit unique chemical structures suited for illuminating target tissues beyond the visual spectrum, ranging from ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR). This review outlines the rationale for surgical chromophore application, the weaknesses and risks in each class of these compounds, and areas of foreseeable potential for employment of specialized contrast agents. In short, if you know what you are targeting, you can expect to predict your settings,

Think well before taking the plunge. Botulinum toxin, for example, is a prescription ONLY medicine, which means that if it is procured and or administered illegally, the person doing so is liable for criminal prosecution, may not be insured and is ultimately a risk to your health. Unlicensed injections can cause blindness, stroke, and death of overlying skin.
