Before you jump into the "magical world" of neurotoxin, think about a few things to make sure it's safe and you're happy with the results.

Here are five things to remember:


1. Know who's legit: Make sure you pick a legit healthcare professional—like a doctor, RN/NP or PA or a LPN or certified aesthetician under supervision—by researching their reputation & credentials. State laws vary on which professionals are able to perform these injections.


2. Don't Detour your Standards: yes.. its very exciting (I know)...but before diving into the treatment, make sure to set up a comprehensive consultation with your healthcare pro to talk about your expectations, concerns, and medical history; openly share your current medications and any past cosmetic procedures; and a skilled practitioner will assess your facial anatomy and give you a realistic outlook on what to expect from the treatment.


3. Ask about Risks: Be aware of potential risks and side effects; although generally safe with a qualified pro, expect temporary issues like bruising or swelling, and rare but serious complications such as infection or allergic reactions – staying informed through discussions with your healthcare provider is key to making a wise decision.


4. Be Real about Outcomes: Keep in mind that neurotox is meant to diminish wrinkles over time from reduction of muscle movements like frown lines and crow's feet. Maintaining realistic expectations is crucial; understand that it doesn't halt aging, its results are temporary, & what you can actually anticipate for duration based on dosing.


5. Follow Through to the End: Make sure you can follow the post-treatment care instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Consider important events coming up, overseas travel, scheduled vaccines/health care procedures, & workout routines. Adhering to these guidelines can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment and reduce the likelihood of complications.



Happy 'Toxing Y'all!
