What are the biggest fears or hesitations people have before getting botox or dermal fillers, and how can we address them?
We understand that you may have some fears or hesitations before getting Botox or Dermal Fillers. Here are some common concerns and how we address them at Creative Beauty Esthetics:
- Fear of an unnatural "frozen" or overdone look
- Problem: A common concern is losing natural facial expressions or looking "overdone".
- Solution:
- Discuss goals: During a consultation, clearly communicate your desire for natural-looking results and a conservative approach.
- Choose a skilled injector: A skilled injector understands facial anatomy and uses techniques to relax specific muscles without "freezing" the face, allowing for natural expression.
- Consider "baby Botox": For first-timers, starting with a smaller amount of Botox can help manage expectations and ensure a natural outcome.
- Fear of poor results or complications
- Problem: Patients worry about getting bad results or experiencing complications like bruising, swelling, or filler migration.
- Solution:
- Research your injector: Choose a licensed, experienced provider with a strong understanding of facial anatomy. Inquire about their training and look for credentials. That's why our unique selling point is our trained injector.
- Avoid DIY or unlicensed providers: Many negative filler stories stem from inexperienced, unlicensed providers injecting in unsafe settings.
- Trust your gut: If you don't feel comfortable with a provider, find someone else.
- Understand temporary side effects: Temporary side effects like bruising and swelling are normal but can be minimized by a skilled injector.
- Fear of pain
- Problem: Many people are afraid the injections will be painful.
- Solution:
- Communicate with the provider: A good provider will use techniques to minimize discomfort. They may also offer numbing creams to help.
- Fear of not liking the results
- Problem: A fear that you won't like the way you look after the treatment.
- Solution:
- Start conservatively: A conservative "start small" approach makes it easier to correct if needed, and a skilled provider can help manage your expectations.
- Request a consultation: Have an in-depth consultation to discuss what's possible and what isn't. A good injector will be honest with you and may suggest alternatives or advise against treatment if your goals are not realistic for fillers.
- Fear of cost and long-term commitment
- Problem: Concerns about the financial commitment and the need for ongoing treatments.
- Solution:
- Discuss the financial impact: Discuss the total cost with your provider and ask about the expected duration of the results. We also offer different pricing options.
- Consider the "preventative" approach: Starting with preventative treatments like "baby Botox" can be more effective long-term than trying to correct deep-set wrinkles later.
After reading this FAQ, we want you to understand these three key things:
- Botox vs. Fillers: Botox relaxes muscles to treat dynamic wrinkles (lines that appear with movement), while fillers add volume to plump and smooth static lines (lines visible at rest).
- Maintenance: Both Botox and fillers are temporary and require maintenance to sustain results. Fillers generally last longer and require fewer visits than Botox.
- Safety First: It is crucial to receive treatments from a qualified and experienced professional (like our trained injector at Creative Beauty Esthetics!) using FDA-approved products in a medical setting due to the potential for complications. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities!
