Movement before a standard plan
The face is assessed both at rest and in motion. We discuss which lines relate to expression, which changes may have other causes and what you would like to preserve. A single treatment pattern cannot suit everyone.
Before a decision
Botulinum toxin may be considered for certain aesthetic concerns. Indications, product, areas and dosage require individual assessment. We discuss expected effects, their temporary nature, limitations and possible adverse reactions.
Information that matters
If you have had treatment before, mention when and where it was performed, the effect and any unwanted changes.
- Medication, allergies and relevant health conditions.
- Previous treatment dates and reactions.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding, where relevant.
- Your priorities for facial expression and any important upcoming event.
Risks and follow-up
Discuss pain or bruising at injection sites, asymmetry, unwanted changes in movement and other complications before treatment. Agree on when the effect will be reviewed and how to contact the physician. Exact results and duration cannot be guaranteed.
Common questions
Is botulinum toxin right for me?
This requires assessment of your concerns, facial movement, health history and contraindications. Not every line calls for this approach.
Will my expression be preserved?
Discuss this priority before deciding. Desired effects and acceptable changes should be agreed; an exact result cannot be guaranteed.
What should I budget?
The fee depends on the agreed plan and product. Confirm the total and follow-up arrangements before treatment.
