Botox treatments have been around for decades now and they remain a popular choice for non-invasive wrinkle reduction among patients from different parts of the globe. Here are the reasons why patients prefer Botox cosmetic treatments over other procedures:
- It takes less than 30 minutes to complete
- They’re non-invasive and non-surgical yet deliver stunning results
- Results can last up to four months
- They’re a quick fix for dynamic wrinkles and fine lines; perfect for special occasions and milestone celebrations
If you’ve never had a Botox treatment before, and you’re now considering a Botox cosmetic treatment, here are a few ways to help you get the most out of the procedure:
1. Set realistic goals and expectations
One of the most common mistakes that first-time patients make with regard to Botox treatments is having unrealistic expectations from their treatment. Some first-time patients expect the treatment to reduce or soften all their lines and wrinkles. Remember that Botox cosmetic treatments are designed for dynamic lines and wrinkles, which means they can’t get rid of static wrinkles and lines on your face. The ones they can improve are those lines and wrinkles that appear when you make facial movements or expressions.
2. Maintain results with follow-up treatments
Another common assumption of first-time patients is that results from Botox treatments are permanent; or at least, last for more than a year or two. Botox results are temporary, which means they can last from four up to six months. When the same wrinkles and lines begin to appear once more, this is the time to visit your doctor to get another round of injections.
Follow-up treatments usually only require fewer units. Your doctor will discuss this with you when you consult them for a follow-up session.
3. Go to a reputable clinic and doctor
Since this is your first time to undergo a Botox treatment, it’s important to be choosy when it comes to the clinic you’ll be visiting and the doctor who will be administering the Botox injections. You would want a board certified doctor with lots of experience in Botox treatments and a high satisfaction rating from patients. If you don’t want the frozen look or you want results to look symmetrical, be sure to choose a doctor and clinic with a good reputation.
