Curious about Botox but not sure where to start? Check out this article all about the newest injectables in the latest issue of Best Self Atlanta, featuring advice from Dr. Colgrove:
These days, there seem to be endless options for anyone seeking a more youthful appearance. With the abundance of non-surgical procedures, anyone can turn back the clock with just one office visit. And while anti-aging injectables and fillers are based on science, the results can seem more like magic. …
Comparing prices on procedures can be [a] challenge. Most people have seen billboards that advertise Botox® for as little as $10, but in that case, the fee refers to the unit of product, not to the entire treatment cost. Each area of the face will typically require several units. Many doctors charge by the area treated rather than by the unit, and it gets even more complicated than that. “Pricing can vary based on anything from location to amount of product used to injector experience,” says Dr. Robert Colgrove of Vinings Surgery Center. …
Physicians, nurse practitioners, physicians’ assistants and registered nurses who have been trained in injectables can inject, but experience and training of the injector are always most important. “Referrals from other patients are a great way to find good injectors,” Dr. Colgrove says.
So if you are considering injectables, discuss the many options available with your dermatologist or plastic surgeon to develop a treatment plan that is ideal for your face. When done correctly, these small, non-surgical procedures can take years off your appearance.
