Poor experience - she proceeded to treat me with 80 units of Botox

ORIGINAL POST

Poor Experience

NalaK
I have been getting Botox for 10+ years and have gone to several providers in different states. My first experience at Pure Dermatology in August 2020 was horrible, and I would urge everyone to steer clear of this office. I am 35 years old and normally treated with around 35-40 units of Botox, which I indicated on my check-in form and communicated it to the girl who was assisting the nurse.When the nurse injector came into the room, she proceeded to treat me with EIGHTY units of Botox without consulting me about using such an excessive amount. I did not know how many units were used until I got to the front desk to check out, and I was in complete shock when they told me what was owed.In addition, I had severe headaches for about ten days after my procedure - a symptom I have never had before so I can only assume it is because I was basically poisoned with too much product. Pure Dermatology seems to care more about charging as much as possible for procedures, vs. treating with appropriate amounts of product. Beware!

I know this is an old review but I literally feel like I could have written this after what happened to me yesterday. I normally get 20-30 units and made it clear to this injector that and also said i only wanted my 11s done. She wound up talking me into around the eyes for another 12 units each side (reluctantly agreed after her marking me there already without asking). I added up what should have been a total of 44 units which was way more than I intended anyway so when I went to pay and she tells the receptionist she used 54 units , I was literally in shock! I expected this treatment to cost 200-400 dollars and then I get told I owe $750!! I know yours was a lot more than mine given so I would have been mortified but I think it's so distasteful and scammy to do that without being clear on how many units you inject and how much it will cost. I'm only on my second day and so worried on how I'm going to look now too since I have always had great results with just the 20-25 units of forehead 11s done (I'm 44 and no crows feet thankfully). Lesson learned for me to make sure the provider gives me a clear amount they will use and how much it costs but for no I just feel ripped off. I hope you liked your results even though they scammed you on the amount and price . I will not be going back to the provider I recently tried no matter if my results are good after this experience:(
