I really feel sorry for someone trying to choose a provider of cosmetic services.  Each practice claims to have the best technology.   There are ways to separate the BS from the long time practitioners.  Logically start by eliminating practices who have not been around for at least 5 or 10 years.   Do you really want someone who just did a weekend or one day course on botox injecting ?  There are hundreds of muscles and tendons in your face.   Almost every doctor has added cosmetic services in the past few years.   Some buy one machine and think that makes them a cosmetic practice.  Many never even trained in that area. You have podiatrists, gynecologists, even your dentist offering fillers and Botox.  And amazingly I hear patients say I really trust my gynecologist.  Great when it comes to your vagina she has probably studied it for years, but couldnt find the attachment of the muscle to inject botox into if you gave him or her a roadmap let alone have the finesse that only years of experience will give one to know exactly how much to inject, where to inject, how much to dilute it etc.  Better yet find a surgeon. Or when it comes to Botox find an opthamologist An eye surgeon who not only knows exactly where every muscle around your eyes are located but has also operated on them and even tightened some of those muscles.  Assuming you dont want a droopy eye lid.  Even the most common provider,  Dermatologists are trained to recognize every disease that can possibly affect the skin but had no training for something like injecting botox and probably never reconstructed eye sockets etc.  They learn on the job,  so they fall into the category of people who have more than 10 years of experience.  I may be a little prejudiced but Dr Lisa  has reconstructed head and necks, so she truly understands the muscles in the face as well as the  different devices like radio frequency or ultrasound, and how it will affect the layers of collagen or fat whether its on your face or body.  Also anyone who has been offering cosmetic services for a decade has found multiple technologies that excel for different conditions.  Again using ourselves as an example Precision Aesthetics we have Acoustic Wave therapy for cellulite,  Exilis for non surgical fat reduction and Carboxytherapy for stretchmarks and Thermage for loose skin.

I’ll talk a little more about technologies we dont offer and why we chose to pass on them and why you might want to avoid them too
