I recently moved from LA to Dallas and was ready for my 2nd Botox treatment. The laws are different here, and you don't have to be a doctor or nurse to inject.
In LA, I was injected with 28 units for lines across the forehead and the ones between my eyes. She only needed to inject me in 8 places or so. I was super happy with the results! My face looked more open and fresh. Two days ago in Dallas, I went to a "Derm Spa" and the esthetician used 25 units, but "poked" me all over the place! My forehead looked like major hail damage! Seriously, like 20 injection sites, and I don't think she even got the area between my eyebrows! I have a small bruise, but at least the redness and bumps went down. Why is there such a huge difference? Is it possible she did it wrong? Is it safe for me to go back for the lines between my eyebrows?
Whereas there are certainly non-physician injectors that do a great job with Botox and fillers, a physician, especially a true plastic surgeon, has much more training and experience and may have a different opinion about what exactly would be best for your face. There is a reason for those California laws!!!
