Because Botox is the most popular cosmetic treatment in the United States, many spas, providers, and other professionals are trying to cash in on the procedure. Unfortunately, this has led the market to be flooded with people who may offer subpar Botox results. It can be hard to determine who is a legitimate Botox provider—and who is taking advantage of you.

To choose the right Botox provider and ensure great results, follow this advice:

Choose the Right Doctor
Your Botox team should be led by a board-certified cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist. Cosmetic surgeons, dermatologists, and their specially trained staffs have the most experience and education in providing Botox. They understand how Botox shapes your appearance and can best personalize it to fit your needs.

Medical providers can also be aware of your Medical history and provide the correct skin examination. While Botox is safe, your provider should always understand your health before delivering the injections.

Go to a Medical Office or Medical Spa
While at-home Botox parties or pop-up shops may be more convenient, they are also less thoroughly vetted as medical offices or medical spas. Medical offices are run by licensed and certified professionals. You can trust that the office and all tools are properly sterilized and cleaned, protecting your safety.

Be Wary of Deals
Many unscrupulous Botox providers try to use “deals” to lure in customers. But the cliché is true—if it is too good to be true, it probably is. If a price is far lower than other Botox providers in the area, ask yourself why that price is so low—and what corners they are cutting to keep it that low. These providers may be using bogus Botox or running an injection assembly line, moving people through too fast to ensure they get personalized results.

Always Get a Consultation
Before you have Botox, you should have a one-on-one consultation with the person who will be giving you the injections. You need to discuss what results you are looking for, your definition of beauty, and what you hope to achieve. By having this consultation, you can ensure you are on the same page and are more likely to get the results you want.
