New guide addresses common BOTOX misconceptions to educate consumers, prepare patients for treatment
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Although BOTOX® is by far the most popular nonsurgical cosmetic treatment in the United States and its aesthetic benefits are well known, there is more to BOTOX® than meets the eye. La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre (LJCSC) has published a new guide, 10 Things Everyone Should Know About BOTOX®, to help educate the public and clear up any misconceptions about BOTOX® treatment.
Lauren Amico, Laser & Skincare Clinic Director at LJCSC, says that the new guide may help consumers sort out fact from fiction regarding BOTOX® in an entertaining yet informative format. It supplements a wide range of information on BOTOX® already published on the LJCSC website.
"Although everyone is familiar with BOTOX®, not every patient we see has a full understanding of what BOTOX® is nor how it can most effectively address their aesthetic concerns," says Amico, who is a state-licensed, board-certified aesthetic physician assistant who received her degree from the Stanford University School of Medicine Physician Associate Program. "We believe in patient education at LJCSC and feel this guide provides valuable information for our laser and skincare clientele."
Here is a summary of the points listed in the guide:
- BOTOX® should not be used aggressively.
- BOTOX® can help prevent wrinkles.
- BOTOX® costs can be confusing.
- BOTOX® treatment requires preparation.
- BOTOX® results are not immediate.
- BOTOX® should be administered by a trained and experienced injector.
- BOTOX® should only be injected in a medical setting.
- BOTOX® is not a facelift.
- BOTOX® can successfully treat a number of areas on the face and neck.
- BOTOX® is used to treat a variety of medical conditions.
Patients who are familiar with BOTOX® use will also benefit from reading the guide, as it provides important background information on the points listed above. The complete guide is available for download on the LJCSC website.
