Am I a candidate for Botox?

Although it’s incredibly popular and very widely used, Botox is actually a prescription medication that can only be prescribed by a licensed physician. But since it is safe for most patients, with a few exceptions, if you are interested in looking more youthful and seeing fewer wrinkles and lines on your face, you’re very likely a candidate for treatment with Botox.The best candidates for Botox:

• Are between the ages of 18 and 65.
• Are not allergic to any of its ingredients.
• Are not currently pregnant or actively breastfeeding.
• Would love to look less wrinkled and more youthful or attractive.
• Have moderate to severe wrinkles between their eyes, on their forehead, or around their neck.

What areas can Botox treat?

Botox in Seattle is the most widely used cosmetic prescription injectable and it serves a huge number of purposes, from reducing excessive sweating to correcting TMJ jaw pain, to providing a nonsurgical lip lift. But its most common use is a wrinkle relaxer. Carefully injected into the facial muscles, Botox will smooth out dynamic wrinkles that occur when you express yourself. Botox is most often used to treat wrinkles and fine facial lines in these areas:

• Forehead wrinkles
• Frown lines
• Crow’s feet
• Under-eye lines
• Marionette lines

Side Effects of Botox: Safe and Effective

• The most common side effect is pinpoint bruising at the injection site which is easily hidden with makeup.
• If any Botox trickles into other facial muscles, it can cause a rare side effect, a slight weakening of those muscles. (We urge our clients to avoid any massaging of the injected areas for 12 hours following the injections and insist that you avoid any strenuous activities 24 hours after the injections.)
• Botox is one of the most popular injectables, and for good reason. It has been in use for decades and used by millions across the globe on a regular basis. However, it is important to understand that the product must be injected into the correct muscle strands, and in the right quantity. It is vital that the injections are performed by a professional with advanced skills and a great depth of knowledge of facial muscle structure, such as Dr. Egrari.
• To avoid problems, never submit your face to a cut-rate offer for Botox – it is not worth the risk. Counterfeit Botox has been discovered to be in circulation in America, typically offered at a low cost, and not under the guidance of a skilled Seattle board certified plastic surgeon – as is every procedure at Dr. Egrari’s clinic in Seattle.
• We are committed to producing exceptional results and to ensuring the highest level of patient safety in all procedures, including Botox injections. Rather than creating a “frozen” look, we inject the correct quantity of Botox to smooth and refresh facial appearance. We have rarely seen any of the more serious side effects of Botox, and always use the greatest of care when injecting the product.
