Examples of medical conditions that could be treated. An estimated 11 million people worldwide have used Botox, making it one of the most common non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Because of its popularity, Botox is frequently performed in non-medical settings. However, it is very important that you receive Botox injections from a trained and experienced health professional in a sterile and well-equipped medical facility to avoid unwanted effects.
Our plastic surgeons and dermatologists are specially trained to administer Botox injections. We treat a large volume of patients with a wide range of needs who achieve excellent results. The dose, the number of injections, the site of the injections, and how often you receive the medication will depend on your condition and your response to treatment. Bring information about your medical history, including previous surgeries, current and past health problems, and any medications or herbal nutritional supplements you are taking or have ever taken. If you decide to get Botox injections and your doctor thinks you're a good candidate, he'll explain the technique and the risks and costs.
As with any medical procedure, Botox has potential risks and side effects; however, since it is not a surgical procedure, risks and possible complications are rare, minimal and temporary. Botox is a prescription medication and should only be used under the care of a qualified, licensed healthcare provider. Taking medications, vaccines, food, and other things with a certain medication can affect the effectiveness of the medication. However, when administered in very small doses, it is safe and effective for smoothing wrinkles on the face and neck, as well as treating a variety of medical conditions.
