Choosing a good Botox injector

Since you are young it is important to find a doctor who is very experienced with Botox and filler injections. I would recommend consulting with at least 2-3 different facial plastic surgeons or cosmetic dermatologists to see what they think you need. You can then compare what they told you to see if they are all recommending the same treatments or if 1 doctor is more aggressive than the others. Ask to see before and after pictures of younger patients as well so you can have a better... more

Choosing a surgeon for Botox administration

I would search for Board Certified Plastic Surgeons in your area who have experience in administering Botox. Ask for referrals from patients. Begin with a consultation appointment to discuss your goals for treatment and then select a surgeon with whom you feel comfortable. Good luck!

Choose a core cosmetic specialty physician for Botox, but only if it is right for you at your age. 25 may be too young.

You are 25, and it is the rare 25 year old that should start with Botox as the first line cosmetic treatment for aging. I recommend seeing a dermatologist first, since we are the only physicians who specialize in the medical health and biology of the skin, for suggestions on how to approach the damage you feel you already see. Often there are more effective ways to preserve and improve the glow and youth of your skin that Botox either does not address, or would not be necessary for yet.... more

Botox

Botox and other injectable fillers should be administered by an experienced plastic surgeon. You can always review pre and post injection photos of patients who had similar concerns like yours. Botox is helpful to reduce overactivities of the muscles of annimations and last 3 to 4 months, If you were not happy with the results you do not need to worry too much, it will wear off in few months and would not leave you with a permanent disfigurement. more

CHOOSING A SURGEON FOR BOTOX

Select a surgeon to inject your botox that has alot of experience, that injects on a regular basis. Meet with the surgeon to discuss your needs and create a plan that makes sense to you. The cost for botox injections has a large range. Do not go to the cheapest. I wish you well.

How Do I Go About Choosing a Surgeon for Botox

Choosing a great Botox/Dysport injector.

Botox or Dysport give such great results in the right patients. Often patients need light chemical peels to refresh the skin as well or even filler to smooth out deep lines. Techniques vary from doc to doc and even nurses do it often and can be quite good. If the doc's practice is cosmetically based, then that is a good indicator that he/she has a good aesthetic eye and can help you choose what is best for you. Don't go cheap! That is the universal rule with... more

Choosing a Botox injector

It is important that you choose a board certified doctor for Botox injections. Also, do your research, look at reviews, talk to other patients, ask the doctor or their staff how much Botox they do, etc. Also, it may not be that Botox is what you need. So, I would suggest scheduling a consultation to go over your goals and expectations and so you and the doctor can come up with a customized plan to fit your needs. Good luck.

Injector Selection

The botox cosmetic website can provide you a list of qualified injectors in your area. Consult with 2 - 3 in your area to find one that best meets your needs. Quality is an important component as a more expert injector can better utilize the same or fewer number of units than a lesser qualified injector.
