You should seek an in person evaluation with a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to determine whether it is suitable for you. Also, you will need approval for a parent/guardian.
The patient would need to be assessed for appropriate indication for treatment. There are many variables that would need to be considered in this case. But, yes a minor can receive Botox with consent from a legal guardian and a willing injector. Best,
Thank you for yourquestion.Yes, as long as you have permission and written consent from a parent or guardian.To be sure if this might be right for you, see twoor more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation tomake sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have thesetreatments.I hope this helps.
As long as the patient who is less then 18 years of age comes in with his legal guarding, he or she may receive Botox treatment if it is deemed appropriate by the treating physician.
With the proper consent by a parent, if the injection is deemed reasonable by an experienced provider, it should work great.
A patient under 18 will need parental consent. The real question is if you are a candidate. If you have your parent's consent and you believe you are a candidate, consult with three board certified plastic surgeons.
Mimi555,At the age of 14, there are as many emotional factors as physical factors in play in most adolescents, and those issues need to be sorted out before physical cosmetic changes are entertained. A thorough discussion with parents would be a starting point and if there are true deformities, as can be seen with some physical syndromes, there may be a reason to intervene. However, it would be very unusual to use Botox for brow elevation in an otherwise normal adolescent, in my opinion. I hope that this helps. Best wishes, Tom DeWire, MD, FACS Richmond, VA
You will require consent from one of your parents in order to receive Botox at the age of 15. Best wishes.
The only way someone under 18 can receive Botox is with parental consent. You should discuss your desires with your parents before pursuing anything. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.

Thank you for your question. Schedule a consultation with a neurologist to discuss the use of Botox for this purpose. Best,
Unfortunately it appears as though the Botox Voluma combination has caused the skin to ripple under your eye. The Botox should wear off at apporx 3 months and your eyes should go back closer to how they were originally. It is difficult to provide an accurate assessment without a pre photo or in...
Botox can give a more open look to the eyes by relaxing the muscle (orbicularis oculi) around the eyes which causes it to close during smiling and squinting. When this muscle is treated with Botox, the eye will remain open during smiling and appear more "open".
It's unfortunate you had a bad experience with Botox injections. Assymetry that you are feeling is likely secondary to placement and dosage. I would followup with the injector and ask specifically about site of placement and the dosage. The effects should last 3 months depending on these factors.
Thank you for your question. Botox or Dysport can be a very effective way to contour the jaw line by reducing the masseter shadow through the outer jaw skin. In addition, it can reduce symptoms of jaw clenching or grinding of teeth at night time. This is an advanced technique that requires a...
EEG leads will not interfere with the Botox you had 8 days ago. You will want to avoid any manipulation to your face for 24 hours post injection. Best,
