Five questions to ask before Botox

Who - Who is undertaking your Botox injections and are they appropriately qualified to do so? The Botox must first be prescribed by a qualified doctor. Beware of flashy websites - these don't necessarily reflect the necessary skills or qualifications.
Where - Where are you having your Botox? It must only be administered in an appropriate setting with adequate equipment and protocols in place. It need to be a safe and clean environment.
What - What happens after the injections? Find out who will take care of any complications that may arise post-procedure.
Why - Why are you having it? What are you expectations of the results and what benefits do you anticipate? It's important to have a realistic understanding of the likely results and to be aware of the limitations of surgery.
How - How much will it cost? Beware of cut-price offers or packages. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If you are getting a bargain price procedure, ask if the savings being made affects the level of care, the experience of the person conducting the procedure or the standard of the facilities.
