You may have heard of some horror stories involving Botox injections going horribly wrong. Buying Botox on a coupon or deal site or attending Botox parties or spas where Botox is on the menu may promise great results at a bargain, there are several risks when not going to a licensed medical practitioner to administer Botox safely and effectively. Here are some reasons why you should see the pros when it comes to cosmetic injectables.

Other practitioners
Inexperienced Botox practitioners may present some dangers, especially when treatments are done outside of medical facilities. Some practitioners used watered-down Botox with excess saline to get more injections out of one treatment vial. Inexperienced practitioners may inject the muscle incorrectly, causing the patient to suffer side effects such as drooping eyebrows or eyelids. The placement of the needle is so critical as what works for one patient may not work for another. Our practitioners thoroughly examine our patients’ unique facial patterns to know proper treatment for optimal results.
