Botox Clinics - What to Know Before You Go




Botox is one of the hottest crazes of the 21st century. Doctors from around the globe are using it for not only enhancing facial appearances but also to treat numerous health conditions, ranging from excessive sweating to migraine pains to muscles spasms.
If you are also planning to get Botox shots for a cosmetic or non-cosmetic condition, it is important that you get it administered by an experienced, board-certified physician with a comprehensive knowledge of facial anatomy. So, the very first thing that you need to do after deciding to get Botox treatment is to find out the best clinic in the town offering the treatment.
Here are some simple steps that you need to follow before finalizing on a clinic for Botox treatment:

Compile a list of clinics offering Botox in your area

The first thing that you need to do when selecting a clinic is to make a list of all the clinics in your area that offer Botox for treating your condition, be it facial wrinkles, excessive sweating, migraine pain or muscle spasms. Use references as well as internet research and local health magazines to find out some of the best clinics in the town.

Prioritize your list

Once you have compiled a list of clinics, the next step is prioritizing it. Clinics that have been personally recommended by your friends and family should come at the top. Also order the list based on the location of the office. The nearer the clinic the better it is for you.

Visit the clinic’s official website

Check if the top 5 to 7 clinics on your list have their official websites or not. Visit their websites and see which doctors do they have, the Associations their doctors belong to and above all the reviews of their past patients, if available.

Make a list of questions to ask from the clinics on your list

Educating yourself about the procedure is the key to a successful treatment free of any unwanted side effects. Do your home work and prepare a list of questions to be asked from the clinic you call. Here are some of the questions that you can ask your doctors or the representatives of the clinics you call.
·         Do your doctors have certifications in facial anatomy?
·         How many years of experience do they have in administering Botox?
·         How often do your doctors treat patients with Botox?
·         Do you schedule a follow-up visit after treatment?
·         Will you show me before and after pictures of the patients your doctors have treated in the past?
·         Are there any side effects of Botox?
·         What sort of help will I get from the clinic if I experience any side effects?
·         Who will bear the cost of treating serious side effects?

Call top 3 to 5 clinics on the list and ask above questions

Once you have prepared the list of questions, call top 3 to 5 clinics on the list and ask these questions. Based on the answers you get, decide which clinic is the best. It is also recommended to book consultations with doctors of shortlisted clinics and discuss your concerns with them. The doctor who gives satisfactory answers to your questions is probably the one you should finalize for the treatment.

Ask for references

It is also a good idea to ask the doctors/clinics for references of a couple of patients they have treated in the near past. Meet them and get first hand information about the clinic’s patient handling, their doctors’ expertise and aftercare. You can also ask your prospective clinics to show you before and after pictures of the patients they have treated over the last couple of months to get a fair idea of how effective their Botox treatment is.
