Why Is It Important to Use Full Strength Botox?
By Launa Stone | Published on September 14, 2011 | 0 Comments
At the Launa Stone Medical Spa in Calabasas, California, all Botox and Dysport injections are always full strength. Unfortunately spa owner Launa Stone says this may not be the case with every med spa in Calabasas.
Stone cautions that patients who are visiting a medical spa for the first time need to be careful about the products they are having injected in their bodies. Specifically, she says that some medical spas will try to cut corners by using Botox or Dysport that is not full strength.
Although most people know what Botox is, some people are still in the dark about the benefits of Dysport. As Stone explains, Dysport is a product that works similarly to Botox, however it is less known because the technology behind it is still somewhat new.
Whether a person is having Botox or Dysport injections, the importance of going with a full-strength product holds true. Full strength Botox and Dysport give people more effective, longer lasting results with less chance of untoward side effects such as drooping.
Stone also points out that some offices use fake Botox or Botox that was produced in a different country, both of which can create serious problems and side effects. This is yet another reason why she recommends that patients stick to medical spas that use name brand-name Botox and Dysport from reputable companies.
How can people be sure that the Botox and Dysport they’re getting at a med spa in Calabasas is full strength? Stone recommends that patients ask their medical providers and make sure they are getting Botox that is made by Allergan and Dysport that is made by Medicis. She actually recommends going ask far as to ask to see the bottle to make sure the brand names Allergan or Medicis are printed alongside the terms Botox or Dysport.
Thankfully, patients who visit Stone’s med spa in Calabasas do not have to worry about this. Stone’s spa is a platinum account for Allergan, which means that Stone and her colleagues order more Botox from the company than most other medical spas in the Calabasas area. Allergan awards special certificates to medical spas that qualify, and these certificates are an excellent way to show that the practitioners a particular spa are highly trained and skilled in the use of Botox and Dysport.
For more information on how to determine whether the Botox injections your med spa in Calabasas is using are full strength, Stone encourages people to contact the Launa Stone Medical Spa for advice.
