Conditions of the Skin

The consultation is an important part of the Botox® treatment process. Medical professionals should be able to conduct a thorough consultation with the patient to assess their needs and expectations. They should also be able to answer the patient's questions and address their concerns.
Skin Assessment
A skin assessment is an important part of the Botox® treatment process. This includes evaluating the patient's skin type, as well as the location and severity of the wrinkles. Medical professionals should be able to perform a thorough skin assessment and identify the areas that are most appropriate for Botox® injections.
