There are numerous wrinkle-relaxing neuromodulators to choose from, but there are even more injectors who offer the treatments. Any patient who wants to smooth frown lines by inhibiting facial muscle contractions should put careful thought into their decisions, including which brand would be best and who would be the ideal injector for you. Here are several tips on what to look for when considering BOTOX® or Daxxify®, courtesy of the Philadelphia area’s Cirillo Cosmetic Dermatology Spa.

An important first step is to schedule a consultation with a reputable practice staffed with experienced injectors. This consultation will allow you to get to know the team, as well as gain insight into which specific treatment might be best for you based on your goals.

Be sure to ask about any potential injector’s general experience, as well as their specific experience with the recommended injectable. Qualified injectors will have completed focused training for the treatment, as well as stay up to date on the latest techniques for maximizing patient safety and results.

The Cirillo Cosmetic Dermatology Spa team is highly experienced when it comes to wrinkle relaxers. Like all available cosmetic treatments at board-certified dermatologist Dr. Victoria A. Cirillo-Hyland’s practice, injections are medically supervised.

When deciding on the right injector for you, ask to see before-and-after photos so you can get an idea of the skin-smoothing results they can provide. Each injector has a unique touch, so it’s important to find one whose artistic eye aligns with your vision for your appearance.

It is also important to work with someone who helps you to feel comfortable and confident. Be sure that you communicate well with each other, which means you get answers to your questions and that you feel heard and understood. Honesty is always important, as is a thorough understanding of what the treatment involves, the risks, the onset and duration of the results, and what injections can and can’t accomplish.

Ultimately, the decision for any wrinkle-relaxing treatment, as well as the person who provides it, comes down to a mix of facts, trust, and your intuition. Be sure to work with a medically trained and supervised injector whose skill set will meet your desired goals. Hopefully, this will be a long-term relationship that continues as you return for maintenance sessions that allow you to enjoy a look you love for years to come.
