Botox and Dermal Fillers – What to think about

Almost everyone has a strong impression of the minimally invasive injectables and cosmetic procedures that are available today. Unfortunately, there are many misconceptions about aesthetic procedures that abound. People believe that the results of almost all plastic surgery are an “overdone” appearance, but the opposite is actually true.

With over 2.6 million people receiving Botox and 1.6 million getting some type of dermal filler last year in the United States you probably know someone who has had one of these procedures. Botox or a minimally invasive filler, such as When performed by a qualified doctor or nurse this image enhancement goes virtually unnoticed by the casual observer. Botox, Juvederm, Voluma, Restylane, or RHA injected correctly will simply make you look more energetic, refreshed, and younger. In fact, one of the major goals for cosmetic procedures is to have the most natural final result possible.

Are you thinking about ways to improve your appearance and maintain your looks? Here are some tips to help you get the best results possible!

Don’t bargain shop for Botox

Some people love bargain shopping, but this is your face. Be wary of prices that seem too good to be true. We aren’t talking about buying soda, which is the same product regardless of where it is bought.

This risk may result in unsafe products being injected (some may be purchased on the gray or black market) or having someone who is not well trained (occasionally even unqualified) performing the procedure.

Botox should be the same product as any reputable doctor or nurse, but it’s extremely important to know that the practitioner can administer it appropriately, safely, and effectively. In the right hands, any discomfort can be minimized and the results will be younger, smoother-looking skin.

Choose a Good Doctor/Nurse

You want someone who has a strong understanding of the facial muscles!  Just because someone has the title of a doctor or nurse does not mean that they specialize in Facial Fillers or Botox.  To enhance someone’s face with dermal fillers is a true art form and you should not settle for someone that is unqualified and does not know what they are doing. The nurses that work at The Laser Image Company go through extensive training and have many years of experience behind them.

Be Realistic with Botox and Dermal Filler Results

Don’t think that a minimally invasive injectable is going to work miracles.  It’s true that they can make you look younger, get rid of wrinkles, cost less than surgery, and have pretty much no downtime.  However, sometimes there is only so much that dermal fillers or Botox can do.  That is why it is also important to have a knowledgeable doctor or nurse that will be able to give you his or her honest opinion and let you know what really can and cannot be done.
