Botox a Fraud That Increases the Need for a Facelift?

A doctor in India, Dr. Vijay Sharma states in a news story that Botox is a fraud.

He is quoted as saying “In the case of frequent use, the damage to the muscles may force a patient to undergo a face-lift at an early age. This scam allows for doctors and dermatologists to set themselves up for a steady income from their patients.”

We would like your response to Dr. Sharma which will be used in RealSelf.com news section. Thank you.

A: Strongly disagree. Botox is a great

Botox is a great product with a long track record and an essential tool in aesthetic medicine. Nothing will substitute for a well performed facelift but one does not preclude the other. Botox is most commonly used in the forehead, between the eyes and around the crow's feet. A face lift is most effective in the cheek, jawline and neck. A lifelong commitment to looking and performing at your best will involve many elements of aesthetic medicine. One should not fear that an early use of Botox will lead to an earlier need for a facelift. It is simply not true. Here's to your health and beauty. Cheers.

What does Botox Cost? Botox Pricing Information

A: Cost of Botox is mostly determined by number of units needed

The cost may vary tremendously. If it seems to good to be true, it probably is. The number of units of Botox is the most relevant number for any patient.

After an initial treatment the effect and lasting effect may vary significantly. If you bounce around between providers chasing price you aren't doing yourself any favors. Get with a trusted and experienced professional and you can't go wrong.

After you have established a relationship you may be able to negotiate a "frequent flyer " discount. Price per unit may be anywhere from $9 to $16 depending on competition, geography and client base. If the treater will only discuss price per area and not per unit , be suscpicious. They shoud be very comfortable in sharing that info with you.
