What to Consider Before Getting Botox?
As Botox becomes more widely available, it’s crucial to consider the clinic’s quality, the aesthetician’s qualifications, your personal skincare goals, and the aftercare provided.
Why are you considering Botox?
Is it for cosmetic reasons, perhaps to enhance your natural expression or to reduce the appearance of aging by treating or preventing wrinkles? Defining your skincare goals beforehand will help you track progress and know when to stop.
Qualification and Experience:
How often does the aesthetician administer Botox? How long have they been practicing? Do they have the necessary qualifications? Be sure to do your research.
Initial Assessment:
Ensure Botox is the right and most cost-effective treatment for your needs. At Sandon, we always offer a free consultation and facial assessment. This allows us to fully understand your goals and create a personalised plan tailored to you.
Other Treatments:
Does the clinic provide alternative treatments? Botox isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Options like Dermal Fillers may be more appropriate. At Sandon we will guide you toward the best treatment plan for your needs.
Side Effects:
When administered by skilled professionals, side effects are rare. Always ensure you take before-and-after photos, sign a consent form, and receive proper aftercare instructions.
What Type of Botox is Being Used?
Did you know there are various Botox brands available? Ensure that the clinic uses market-leading brands like Azzalure
Follow-Up:
A two-week follow-up with a complimentary top-up is essential for optimal results. Some clinics skip this step because opening a new vial is costly. At Sandon, we never compromise on quality. If a top-up is needed, we will always provide it to ensure you’re satisfied with your results.
Book Your Next Appointment:
Schedule your next session at least 4 months out—this timing prevents the Botox from wearing off completely, keeping your muscles from returning to their prior state.
Natural Results:
No one wants to look overly frozen. At Sandon, we prioritise a natural, subtle look by ensuring responsible and precise Botox application based on your specific needs.
