BOTOX ® is a solution that contains a small amount of toxin diluted with serum and is used in cosmetic dermatology to reduce dynamic wrinkles. Choosing a BOTOX ® specialist is essential in getting the best possible results that last for longer.
Types of Professionals Who Provide BOTOX ®
The BOTOX ® treatment is fast and easy and may be administered by a plastic surgeon. Make sure the specialist you choose is certified.
You can verify if a certain doctor is certified by contacting with your state's Medical Licensing Board, which you can find in your phone book in the State Government section.
It's also helpful to know that the specialist you choose hasn't had malpractice complaints filed against him.
Factors to Consider
There are several factors to consider when choosing a BOTOX ® specialist:
- Experience of the professional; getting treatment from an experienced physician will lower the risks and complications of the treatment
- References
- Location; the clinic should be conveniently located
- Price; BOTOX ® prices range between $300 and $500
Questions to Ask
Before you decide on the professional that will administer the BOTOX ® injection, you should ask a few questions. Prepare a list of your own questions and don't forget to ask about:
- What your expectations should be
- If there are other treatments that would be more suitable for you
- The type of anesthetic used
- Cost and financing options
- Before and after pictures
Choosing a qualified BOTOX ® specialist is important, but it is equally important that you get informed about the how the procedure is performed and if there are risks involved.
