Am I Suitable For Botox Treatment?
Having a strong (yet realistic) desire to improve your physical appearance is a prerequisite requirement to working out if you are a suitable candidate for a Botox cosmetic treatment.
Botox cosmetic is often considered a modern miracle, to be sure, but any individual considering Botox cosmetic treatment should be well aware of what Botox can (i.
e.
improve your appearance) and cannot (turn you into a super model) do.
It's important that you have a good look at before and after photographs (several of which should be readily available from any Botox practitioner that you're considering).
So, with realistic expectations in place, let's look at some of the other requirements.
Are you a mature adult? Young adults will need to wait for a couple of wrinkles before they consider Botox treatments (give it a decade or two, or have a couple of children if you're in a rush - that usually does the trick).
Paradoxically, much older candidates may not have enough elasticity in their skin, despite an abundance of wrinkles to benefit from Botox treatments, so a consultation with your cosmetic doctor is in order.
Botox treatments, alas, are not usually covered by insurance as they are considered an elective procedure.
Speak with your cosmetic doctor first so that you get a good idea of what your individualised treatment costs will be.
Bear in mind, too, that Botox treatments are only temporary and in order to keep your look, regular Botox treatments every few months may be necessary.
Are you healthy? Even though Botox is a non-surgical treatment, you should still be in good physical condition to undergo it.
If you have recently experienced problems with breathing or swallowing, are expecting a baby, or nursing a child you should talk with your cosmetic doctor before proceeding.
Likewise if you've had recent facial surgery.
If you suffer from allergies, or have ever had a reaction to Botox or any medication similar to Botox, talk to your cosmetic doctor first.
Still good? Brilliant...
How's your mental health? This is, after all, a medical cosmetic procedure, albeit a safe and relatively minor one.
But even minor alterations to the "you" that you know and love can be distressing, to say the least.
Are you ready for that? Are you ready for the possibility that it may take a couple of days for the real "you" to emerge (allowing for some redness or the odd bruise)? Yes to all? Good, the next step for you is to visit a good cosmetic doctor for a consultation to see if you want to progress from research mode to actually experiencing Botox treatment and all of its benefits for yourself.
