Things to Consider Before Getting Botox

It’s natural to get worried once those wrinkles and fine lines start appearing on our skin as we age. Unlike in the past, we can correct these with injectable neuromodulators, with Botox being one of the most popular options available. But before you take the plunge, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Amanda Lloyd explains some factors you should consider.

Things to Know Before Getting Botox in Encinitas Area

Have realistic expectations

Botox is not a cure-all for all your aging concerns. It will certainly alleviate signs of aging like frown lines, and wrinkles. But don’t expect it to take decades off your face.

Select a good dermatologist

It is vital you choose an experienced board-certified dermatologist for your procedure. The final result will depend on the skill of the doctor. So, make sure you do your research beforehand.

Temporary Results

The results from Botox won’t last forever, so you will have to get touch-ups according to your dermatologist’s recommendations.

Results won’t be visible immediately

It’s takes time for Botox to bind to your receptors, so expect to see your desired results after about two weeks. If you want the results for a special occasion, plan your visit to the dermatologist in advance.
