Finding the most qualified BOTOX® injector in your area requires a little more legwork than simply typing in “BOTOX near me” and booking an appointment with the first provider to pop up. However, when you know what to look for in a qualified, reputable BOTOX injector, you can easily narrow down your search and choose the best fit for your unique situation. 

 

We’ve broken down five essential steps to follow when looking for a BOTOX provider near you so you can avoid common red flags and get the beautiful, natural-looking results you want.

 

Check Credentials

 

The first step in choosing a BOTOX provider is to verify his or her BOTOX training and experience. Although BOTOX and other injectable treatments do not require surgery or downtime, they still need to be performed by a properly trained and qualified medical professional. Otherwise, the risk of complications and poor results greatly increases. 

 

Nurses and physician assistants can perform BOTOX injections and are often very skilled at these treatments. However, a medical doctor such as a board-certified dermatologist or board-certified plastic surgeon should be onsite and available for consultation if necessary. 

 

Here at Sanctuary Medical Aesthetic Center in Boca Raton & Fort Lauderdale, for example, our board-certified plastic surgeons, board-certified dermatologists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners are highly skilled at administering BOTOX and filler injections. Additionally, many of our providers participate in training programs to train other professionals on proper injection techniques and best practices.

Steer Clear of Bottom-Dollar Prices

 

While deal sites like Groupon are popular in the cosmetic services space, these apps can be tricky to navigate if you are searching for a BOTOX provider in Boca Raton & Fort Lauderdale based purely on the lowest price available. Unfortunately, you do get what you pay for when it comes to cosmetic treatments like BOTOX and fillers, and you don’t want to skimp on the quality of your results or even your health and safety by selecting an injector based on price alone. 

 

There is nothing wrong with taking advantage of a special promotion or discount from a reputable BOTOX provider. However, if the discounted price is completely out of the ballpark of other BOTOX providers in your area, consider this a red flag and keep searching. 

 

If the cost of your BOTOX treatment is a concern for you, talk with your provider during your consultation to discuss package deals or special promotions to help make your treatment as affordable as possible.

 

Look at Before and After Photos

 

Most reputable BOTOX providers will have before and after photos available on their websites. Take a few minutes to look through these to get a better idea of the quality of results that you could expect for yourself if you choose to work with this particular practice. These photos can also help you illustrate to your provider during your BOTOX consultation what your specific goals are.

 

When viewing before and after BOTOX photos, however, be on the lookout for red flags like:

 

• Signs that the photos have been digitally edited.
• Different lighting or backgrounds in the before and after photos.
• Photos taken outside of a medical setting (i.e. in someone’s home). 
• Photos that are visibly outdated, blurry, or otherwise difficult to see.

Before and after BOTOX photos are a way for reputable providers to showcase the excellent results they have been able to achieve. Thus, the photos should speak for themselves, and the practice should be more than happy to highlight them on their website.

 

Schedule a Consultation or Two

 

Once you’ve found a BOTOX injector or two and have verified their credentials and experience, the next step is to schedule a consultation. Use your BOTOX consultation as a time to both meet your provider to determine if this is a good fit for you and to ask specific questions about your BOTOX treatment to ensure this is the best treatment option for you. 

 

During your consultation, you can ask about the provider’s training and experience to verify what you’ve already read online. Other good questions to ask include:

 

• Who will be performing my BOTOX injections and what are his or her credentials?
• What injectable products do you offer, and can I see the original packaging? 
• What can I expect before, during, and after my BOTOX appointment? 
• What happens in the event of a complication? 
• How long will my results last?

It’s also a good idea to take a look around the office to make sure it is a clean, organized environment and is a medical setting — not someone’s home. Staff members should be friendly, welcoming, and willing to answer any questions you might have. 

 

If you don’t feel completely sold on this provider after your consultation, seek another opinion elsewhere. It never hurts to get a second or even third opinion before making a final decision. 

 

Go With Your Gut

 

You should feel comfortable working with your BOTOX provider and confident in his or her ability to provide you with the best results possible. If something feels off during your consultation or you don’t feel comfortable for any reason, do not feel obligated to book a BOTOX appointment just because you took advantage of a complimentary consultation. 

 

A reputable BOTOX provider should never make you feel pressured to schedule an appointment or agree to treatments on the spot. If you feel any pressure at your consultation, consider this a red flag and continue your search. Ultimately, your priority is to find the best BOTOX injector for you, and a reputable practice will understand this.
