While ageing is inevitable, looking old isn’t. Cosmetic procedures are becoming increasingly popular, especially as they become more affordable and accessible. More women and men are choosing Botox, or anti-wrinkle injections, to make skin youthful looking.
Botox is a cosmetic injectable. It can smooth lines and wrinkles, balance the face’s composition, and prevent the signs of ageing.
If you’re looking to have Botox, you’ll understand the importance of choosing a qualified and trained health professional, who is experienced and injects safely. In Australia, doctors and registered nurses can inject Botox once they’re completed appropriate training.
In this article, we’ll outline the qualities to consider when choosing a Botox specialist, and share where to find the best in Canberra.
What makes a great Botox specialist?
If you’re new to Botox, choosing a specialist can be daunting. It’s your face, after all, and you’ll only want the very best.
It can be helpful to keep the following in mind when choosing a Botox specialist.
- Experienced and qualified. Only choose a trained medical professional who uses the correct technique for your Botox treatments. Check how many years of experience they have with Botox treatments. You’ll also want to be sure your chosen specialist has worked on a wide range of face types, in order to be comfortable that they will know what injections will suit your face – and that comes with years of experience!
- Clean treatment rooms. Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves needles. You won’t want to risk your health and wellbeing by being treated in an unclean clinic.
- Before and after gallery. When it comes to Botox, results speak a thousand words. Scroll through the clinic’s social media accounts or websites to check the results they’ve achieved. If they don’t have a before and after gallery, be wary.
- Latest Botox innovations. Botox technologies continually evolve. Look for a clinic that’s up-to-date and operates at best practice with the latest innovations. This will give you confidence you’ll get the results you want.
- Well-priced. While Botox is more affordable than ever, prices vary. Research costs online (or by phoning) for market rates. Remember that sometimes you only get what you pay for.
