Not asked to smile/frown - is this a normal Botox Injection practice?

Asked By:CecilyJain in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia

So I’ve been looking for a place to begin getting anti-wrinkle injections for a while now, and my friend took the plunge and chose a clinic I’d been looking at and got it done. I asked her how it went and she told me the injector went straight ahead and started without asking her to frown/smile to see her dynamic lines. She did her forehead, then asked her to smile only once before doing her outer eyes. Is this normal? Or should I look elsewhere to get my first treatment?

Answer: There are general areas to inject, so perhaps this injector is just injecting the cookie cutter spots
