Botox Overview
Botulinum toxin, aka Botox injections, is used to relax your facial muscles to smooth out your wrinkles and lines, specifically crow’s feet. However, the result is not permanent and only lasts for three months.
Do I need Botox?
Maybe you have heard about Botox being advertised on Instagram or Youtube, so you want to try it because of the good results you’re seeing. But before signing the paper, you must be sure why you want the treatment. It pays off to do research. Ask yourself, do I need Botox? Am I aware of the risks? Is it too costly for me to maintain the look?
Who is going to perform my Botox?
If you have decided already to get Botox, you need to make sure that the Medical professional is qualified, duly registered to do Botox, and has adequate skills and experience. You don’t want to risk your face, do you? So it’s safer to avoid doctors who don’t have enough training.
Questions to Ask the Doctor
- Is their training or experience enough?
- Are they confident about the procedure?
- What is the name of the product they are going to use? Is it licensed? Where is it manufactured? What’s the component of the product?
- Risks and Side effects of Botox
- How long will the Botox last?
- What if the result is not satisfactory? Are they willing to do it again for free?
