What Are the Questions We Should Ask Regarding Botox TXs? Could you shed some light on the questions we should be asking to our Botox Providers whether they are MDs, nurses,spas before we get any additional treatment? What would you recommmend? Is there a way to find out if any of the Botox Treatment shots have any preservatives eg mercury or anything that would cause a crystal type of material eg grainy filaments from the injection sites? Are there any metals we should worry about or are the injections only Botulinum toxin type A?

A: Questions to ask regarding Botox

It seems like anyone who can pick up a syringe can inject Botox. I recommend seeking a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist or a nurse under their supervision. Fortunately Botox injections are not permanent. As I have seen eyelid and brow deformities done by people who were not trained or skilled.

Ask the number of units to be used and the cost per unit. Generally, it takes about 20 units for thr crow's feet and 20 units for the frown lines, according to the severity. Ask about the risk for each area,and if it is made by Allergan and pure. Ask about the injector's experience and their knowledge of the muscles of the face.

How to Get Rid of "Angry Look" on my Face? I’m told over and over again “what’s wrong”. I won’t even be in a deep thought. The furrow between my eyes is the culprit. I know Botox is used to remove these furrows, but I hate the idea of going to a dermatologist every several months to get an injection. I can’t imagine fitting it into my hectic schedule. What alternatives are there for my angry-look problem?

A: Botox to fix the angry look

Botox is probably the best choose to fix the frown lines in between on eyes. Your treatment would need to be repeated every three to four months for maximum effect. Corrugator muscle resection is another option. It is a surgical procedure that involves removing part of the muscles in this area that create these frown lines. In general, Botox (or Dysport) is a simpler option.

Hope that helps.
