BOTOX ®

Frequently Asked Questions

Is BOTOX ® safe?

Yes.

BOTOX ® has been used for more than 15 years to help patients worldwide, and it is approved by the health ministries of at least 70 countries. In the United States alone, over 3.25 million procedures are performed each year with no known long-term side effects.

There are a few restrictions to BOTOX ® treatments. Always consult with a competent physician like Dr. Susan Davoodifar before your BOTOX ® treatment.

Will BOTOX ® give me a natural look?

Treatment with BOTOX ® requires the expertise of a medical professional, who has in-depth knowledge of the facial anatomy, the individual facial structure and how to apply Botox to harmonize the facial features.

You can trust Dr. Davoodifar's commitment to excellence, combining her medical expertise, artistic talent and experience for your natural, rejuvenated look.

What are the side effects of BOTOX ® ?

The side effects of BOTOX ® treatments are minimal.

While no long-term side effects have been observed, slight bruising, headaches, temporary eyelid droop and flu-like symptoms can occur, but tend to go away within a few days.

How do I find a competent BOTOX ® provider?

BOTOX ® is a medical procedure, so choose your BOTOX ® provider with care.

Because BOTOX ® is administered into the complicated muscular structure of the face, candidates should seek a medical professional who is sufficiently qualified to give BOTOX ® injections. Research your provider's credentials and experience with BOTOX ®.

Always consult with a physician for an evaluation of your full medical history, to determine the right treatment for you. The physician should adequately inform you about risks, benefits, limitations and alternatives.

To ensure the highest safety and best quality treatment, choose a medical facility like the DermaSmooth Clinic where a qualified and experienced doctor executes your BOTOX ® treatments.

How long will the BOTOX ® effect last?

If BOTOX ® is applied correctly, it can last up to 4 - 6 months.

Do treatment results differ?

For best results, have your BOTOX ® treatment administered by a well qualified and experienced physician with high ethical and safety standards.

I tried BOTOX ®, but experienced disappointing results. Why?

Disappointing treatment results can have a variety of reasons:

• Approximately 10% of men and women do not respond to BOTOX ® treatments.
• Some people start to build antibodies against BOTOX ® as a reaction to their treatments. These people may experience limited results.
• The BOTOX ® treatment was not administered correctly
• The BOTOX ® administered was not diluted according to manufacture's recommendations. Discuss your disappointing results with an experienced BOTOX ® physician.
