  1. Research Your Doctor

Just like any cosmetic procedure, it’s essential to know your Botox provider including their strategies associated with administering the treatment. Anyone with a heavy hand may intrinsically over-treat any given area. On the other hand, poor results are to be expected with someone who injects too superficially. Go to a dermatologist who knows the ins and outs of Botox. We are the ideal and most logical choice for Botox treatments because we work with skin – and Botox -- every day. Our office delivers some of the finest Botox results in San Diego County with plenty of customer reviews to back up our expertise.

  1. Know What to Ask For
Many times, a natural look can be achieved by asking their dermatologist for a light to moderate dose of Botox. It’s better to play it safe with a slight application of Botox in the beginning – particularly if you’re afraid of “looking done” – and increase in dose once you’re familiar with the results.

  1. Be Careful Where You Treat
Some of the most natural-looking results come from a subtle Botox treatment, but also from targeting very specific areas of the face while avoiding typically riskier areas. For example, most women and men can get the lift and youthful look they desire by treating the forehead and frown lines. A more aggressive approach to using Botox includes using it around the eyes. Women and men can still look completely natural with Botox use around the eyes, but those who want an especially subtle look should stick to treating the forehead first, then treating other areas of the face once comfortable with the results.

  1. Understand Length of Results
Botox is a temporary solution to relaxing fine lines and wrinkles in the face. You should know that if you get treated with Botox, results can last up to 4 months depending on how quickly your body naturally expels it from your system. Women and men tend to feel reassured by Botox as a temporary wrinkle solution – if you don’t love it, you don’t have to live with it forever.
