Are there different techniques for Botox injections in Asian women?

Thanks for your question. I am not sure Botox will achieve your goals. I suggest a formal evaluation with an expert about your options. Best. Dr. Aldo

Botox results last up to 3-4 months but can be softened with Venus legacy and Thermage treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist as you would need an expert to properly administer the Botox. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for this very interesting question.
As I have said in the body of many previous answers, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you are evaluated and treated by an experienced Board Certified Dermatologist.
The side effect you described is "technique dependent" and should not occur if you were injected correctly.
Botox, when injected by an expert Dermatologist, is excellent as a prevention to developing static fixed lines & wrinkles.
Best to you.

Although there are no differences in the technique of injecting Botox the evaluation of the Asian face requires a certain skill set and having taught Botox in Asia for a  number of years it is imperative to see someone who is experienced in evaluating the Asian face. as far as the hooding is concerned that is a known side effect and is more a result of the injector or rubbing the area/. see a board certified dermatologist who is experienced in the use of Botox and in evaluating Asian faces

There are no differences in Botox injection for different ethnicities. There is the same rate of side effect, the same duration and the same dosing. What you are describing is probably one of the most common side effect of Botox and could be related to the site of injection, dose and excessive dilution. In general, although this side effect is very rare it occurs regardless of one's experience nor whether the injector is a nurse or "celebrity" doctor. The best advice would be for you, if possible, to read as much as you can on the subject including dosing and basics of Botox injections. As in life, the more we know the better decisions we can make. Good luck!

Botox in women Asian women or in women with deep set eyes can be done but should be performed by an experienced injector. The technique is similar but the product should be placed so that the patient gets a goood arch. Also, the injector can also place a small amount of Botox under the eyes to give a more open look for the eyes in addition to placing some laterally for a bit of a lift.
