BOTOX® Cosmetic is a medical treatment that can temporarily smooth the appearance of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines in adults.
Results from BOTOX® Cosmetic can be subtle; they can leave you looking like you—only with fewer lines. While this is an exciting prospect, it’s important to remember that, as with most medical treatments, BOTOX® Cosmetic has possible risks and side effects. Prepping for your appointment can increase your chances of desired results. Below are five tips that will help you and your licensed BOTOX® Cosmetic provider make the most of your consultation, treatment, and results.
1. Start here: book your treatment with a licensed provider.
You should be in the hands of a licensed provider; someone who has experience treating patients with BOTOX® Cosmetic.
2. Communicate your treatment goals to your licensed provider.
Be open with your licensed provider about your aesthetic goals and ask what your treatment plan might look like.
3. Be honest and thorough with your medical history.
It’s important to communicate your medical history, including any allergies you have and/or medications you take.
4. Know your body, and don’t be afraid to speak up.
Feeling nervous about needles? Worried BOTOX® Cosmetic will hurt? Both are completely normal, particularly for first-timers! It may help your peace of mind to know that most patients claim that getting treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic feels like a pinch.
5. Prepare to schedule a follow-up appointment.
Once you’ve gotten treated, you’ll likely be eager to see your results—but BOTOX® Cosmetic needs time to work.
