Botox Cosmetic

The Bottom Line

Botox Cosmetic injections are a medical procedure that should only be administered by a qualified medical professional. Botox Cosmetic is relatively safe in the hands of a competent physician. The FDA recommends that Botox Cosmetic be injected no more frequently than once every three months, and that only the lowest effective dose needed should be administered.

The prudent consumer who cares about his or her face will research a doctor’s credentials and do a thorough background check before agreeing to allow that physician to administer Botox injections.

A qualified dermatologist, one who is board certified through the American Academy of Dermatology or the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, would be the wisest and most reasonable place to start. Remember, it is your face. The goal is to look more youthful, without putting your health at risk.
