Should I Go See a Plastic Surgeon or a Dermatologist for my Botox Injection?

Hi Ms. Shizuka.  Ultimately, it does not matter which specialty you choose as long as you are happy with the results.  We always say training not title when we are speaking with consumers about how to choose a practitioner.  Any good injector, plastic or derm, will have spent the time to understand facial musculature well and have also spent the time learning and perfecting sound injection techniques.

Find a physician that you are comfortable with, preferably one you are referred to by a friend or relative.  Good luck.

Depending upon the state in which you live there may or may not be state regulations dictating who is allowed to perform cosmetic injections of botulinum toxin or filler.  State regulations aside, theoretically, any person can perform any procedure, however....is the person who is performing your treatment able to handle any and all possible complications of that procedure?  These are medical procedures, and all other considerations aside, if you care about your appearance you should see an expert.  Dermatologists and plastic surgeons along with facial plastic surgeons and some other core specialists may be more than able to treat your wrinkles and help you to look your best!
