When I started injecting 18 YEARS ago the goal was ALWAYS to keep things undetectable and my biggest challenge is making sure the husbands have NO idea we did anything. 😂
That should be the goal for Botox, Filler, literally everything. I’ve said this a million times but if you can see where your filler was placed it was placed poorly! Period. Full Stop.
My biggest fault of injecting is trying to do the minimal amount of units as possible to get the best possible outcome because I firmly believe if the worst thing we do is not enough, we can ALWAYS add more!
I know the data in regards to the amount of units needed to create a beautiful aesthetic result and maintain 3-4 month longevity. But I like to take everything into consideration. The current research, a patient’s past medical history, patient’s goals and desired outcome, and yes even budget because I want something long term and sustainable for aesthetic maintenance.
Usually, patients can go years treating with the same amount of units to achieve desired results but at some point we may need to switch the product or increase units. Knowing the research between each product is extremely important to when treating patients.
Not all injectors are the same. We use different units, different dilution ratios, different depths, different products and it all comes from real world experience.
I just recently had a patient tell me their previous injector refused to treat them unless they used a set amount (very high) number of units. That’s wild and immediately screamed lack of experience.
Injectors, I would encourage you to look at different products and appreciate the longevity data, molecular size of the product and rheology if we’re talking about filler. These things matter when it comes to a great outcome for your patients. I wish I could cookie cutter my treatments. It would make things so much easier but the reality is every patient and every treatment needs a personalized approach. Every single time.
Boo-tox goes on until the end of October or while supplies last. You can treat in October or buy and bank if you’re not quite due for your next treatment.
