What To Know About Botox Treatments
Have you ever caught a glimpse of something you didn’t like in the mirror? Maybe you spotted a couple of lines near your eyes or the creases in-between your brows. Sure, lines and wrinkles are a natural part of aging. But that doesn’t mean that you have to deal with them! If you are thinking of having a Botox treatment, read on to learn more.
What will Botox even do for me?
You’d probably be shocked to hear that Botox is actually a substance that affects your nervous system. However, when it is used in very small doses to minimize wrinkles, it is perfectly safe. Botox reduces the wrinkles and creases in our faces by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that tell the facial muscles to contract. For some people, a Botox injection can even help stop further creasing from occurring.
A new study found that less than one percent of all patients experienced an issue with Botox.
Choosing the right clinic is your first mission
Botox is one of the most popular nonsurgical cosmetic procedures performed in the country. What does that mean for you? Well, this means that when you start searching for a clinic, you will be faced with a LOT of choices.
You’ll want to first limit your search to actual plastic surgeons and board-certified dermatologists. They have the training and experience you will want since they will be experts in facial anatomy.
Next, check out the doctor’s website and social media pages to learn more about their practice. Look for real reviews, both good and bad, concerning their work. Check to see if there are before and after pictures of their treatments.
Next, schedule a consultation with the doctor. Most reputable offices will offer a free consultation. Remember, it is ultimately your money and your body. Always pick a doctor that makes you feel safe and comfortable. You should never feel pressured about undergoing a procedure. Take the time that you need to choose a reliable doctor-this is not a process that should be rushed.
Get ready to make a Botox plan
Once you decide on a doctor, sit down with them and come up with a plan. Everyone is different, so don’t go in thinking that the process will be just like your mom’s or your coworker’s Botox experience.
Your doctor should discuss all of the options available to you, even those that differ from Botox treatments. He or she should always explain what Botox can and cannot do for you. They will consider your age and your personal muscle movements. There could be supplementary treatments you may wish to consider along with the Botox injection.
Make sure that you talk about costs with your doctor. Most Botox fees start at $100 and can go up to $400. Be upfront with your doctor about what you can afford. Remember, Botox is typically more than one injection. You might have to have different areas of your face treated. Additionally, you may have to come in and have follow-up sessions after your first treatment.
