A New Look

3 Tips For Getting Natural-Looking Botox

If you are feeling frustrated by the appearance of wrinkles and lines, especially on the forehead and around your eyes, chances are that you've considered Botox. After all, Botox can smooth out your skin much more effectively than any skin cream. It's common to be concerned before getting Botox for the first time that your results may not be as natural as you'd like. Here are a few tips for ensuring that your Botox results look as natural as possible:

Check Out Online Portfolios

Before booking an appointment for Botox, be sure to look at online portfolios of the doctor or aesthetician's work. Most Botox injectors these days take before and after photos (with their client's permission) to post online. You should narrow down your search to only those injectors with online galleries of work you like. The photos should show a clear improvement in lines and wrinkles, but without an unnatural or frozen appearance to the skin.

Schedule a Consultation

While some Botox injectors allow new clients to schedule treatments without having a consultation first, the consultation is key to ensuring the natural results you're looking for. At the consultation, your Botox injector will ask questions and give you a chance to describe the results you are hoping for. They will also examine your skin and evaluate how much Botox you need in order to lessen the appearance of wrinkles. 

It's good to be candid at the consultation and mention that you would like to start out with a small amount of Botox and that you are interested in a natural look with plenty of movement. Your injector should also give you a clear price quote so that you know how much to budget for.

Read Reviews from Customers

Online reviews from current or former customers are a treasure trove of information when researching a dermatologist's office or med spa. In particular, look for reviews mentioning that they did not feel pressured to get more Botox than they wanted, or pressured to get additional services. The right Botox injector will respect their client's wishes and take a conservative approach when providing injections.

This will be reflected in the online reviews from happy customers. On the other hand, be sure to steer clear of Botox injectors with lackluster or negative reviews.

By following these tips, you will look younger from your Botox treatment, but without needing to worry about looking unnatural.
