Am I An Ideal Botox Candidate?
An ideal Botox patient may be described as someone who is looking for a more youthful, rested facial appearance, but not through a surgical procedure. Those interested in quickly attaining a rejuvenated look may be well suited for this procedure. Generally, a Botox candidate is someone who is looking to reduce the appearance of:
- Creases on the forehead
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Crow's feet (wrinkles around the eyes)
- Parenthesis (vertical crevasses along the mouth)
While the physical characteristics listed above are required for a patient to be considered for Botox, equally important is if the candidate understands of the procedure. It is important for a patient to be aware of the risks and complications associated with Botox, as well as have realistic expectations as to the results that this procedure can produce. They must also know that they will likely require follow-up injections for optimal results. Additionally, a patient should also be physically and psychologically healthy to undergo this procedure.
