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?
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.
I had 14 injections a week ago in my forehead. Now, as it is taking effect, I'm also noticing a slight numbness in my lips - sort of like after being at the dentist and the anesthesia wears off but not wearing off. Can the botox cause this? I went to my GP and he said there's nothing in my mouth that's abnormal and that botox ''usually'' does not travel so far. What's your take? Thank you.
Botox is a great product for forehead wrinkles. It works on the neuromuscular receptor site and blocks the message from the nerve to the muscle fibers to fire. It should have a minnimal effect on sensory nerves. I have had a few patients that felt numb on the forehead after injections for a few days/weeks afterwards. There is not a anatomic reason to have numbness of the lips from injections to the forehead.
