How do you know if you are going to someone who is experienced in Botox injections besides asking how long they've been doing it? I'm nervous after hearing horror stories!

Answer: Ask your friends The absolute best way to find an experienced injector is by word of mouth. Credentials, length of practice and advertising do not mean that a physician is knowledgeable or artistic.

Answer: There is an excellent resource for this. Dear Kate25 Look at liquidfacelift.com. This is a website of physicians who have devoted a great deal of their practice to minimally invasive treatments with BOTOX and fillers. The site is by invitation only for qualified physicians and surgeons. Hopefully the site will list someone in your area. Alternatively, it is a good idea to only see a core physician or surgeon: general plastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon, or dermatologist. Avoid practices where nurse Sally will be doing your treatment (generally in those offices that use nurses, the nurse does a better job than the doctor). Look for an office where the doctor will do your treatment. Be aware that there is no such thing as the independent practice of BOTOX by a nurse or aesthetician. We have a phenomena in California of medispas with no doctor on the premises. These are illegal operations. BOTOX is an art form and you are looking for that artist. Yes it does make a world of difference.
