Botox

Q: Is Botox safe?

A: Botox is a very safe cosmetic material when administered by a well trained physician. All dermatologists have been trained in their residency programs in how to use it. Unfortunately, there are non trained physicians and even non physicians injecting Botox in the U.S. This has given rise to many dissatisfied patients.

Q: Why does Botox seem to last longer in some people than others?

A: It seems that each person has more or less thicker and stronger facial muscles than other people. Once your dermatologist gets to know your face then a more accurate amount of Botox will be administered to give the longest lasting result for you.

Q: How do you charge for the Botox treatment?

A: Botox Cosmetic comes with 100 units per bottle. Most dermatologists charge by the number of units used. This is a more fair way to charge the patient as each person needs different amounts of Botox for their treatment. If more improvement is needed for wrinkles then they can come back in for the added amount and they will only be charged for how much Botox is used each visit.
