Whether you’re a first timer or looking to refine your current plan, the eminently trained and experienced physicians at SkinCare Physicians custom fit their treatments to meet your unique needs. Dr. Mitalee Christman tells you more below.

How We Tailor Botox Treatments to Your Needs

Often friends ask me why they should choose a doctor’s office like SkinCare Physicians instead of their local medspa for their Botox. There are many reasons to choose our physicians over an unqualified injector, and one of them is the precision and care we pour into every treatment. Every patient is treated as an individual with a personalized injection plan. Here I’ll explain how we come up with such a plan.

  • Every face is different: Your consultation is an opportunity for us to review your individual anatomy: is the forehead low or high? Are the forehead lines concentrated in the upper, middle or lower forehead? Are the upper eyelids heavy? Are the vertical frown lines stronger than the horizontal frown line or vice versa? Is the lower face relatively wrinkle free or more lined than the forehead? The answers to these questions help us formulate the best injection plan for you.
  • Your vocation matters: We discuss what you do for a living and what you love to do in your free time. Are you a caregiver? Do you play a musical wind instrument? Do you wear a helmet often? According to your answers, we would alter your treatment plan. For physicians and teachers, I try to preserve a Duchenne smile, so the eyes smile when the mouth smiles. For therapists, some movement of the frown lines is nice so you can still express concern.
  • Your aesthetic preferences: While most patients prefer a natural look with soft movement, some request a more intense treatment with no movement at all. We discuss the pros and cons of each approach, and your preference is honored within reason.
  • Your feedback is key: Every appointment starts with a discussion of the prior treatment, what worked well and what could be better. I encourage my patients to be honest and detailed with their feedback. We take notes in our chart to ensure every treatment is better than the last.

As you can see, our approach to facial injections is the opposite of cookie cutter, and the goal is your complete comfort and confidence before proceeding with treatment. Remember, the best results come from a partnership between you and your physician, so choose a practice you trust.

Thanks for reading how we strive to provide the best Botox in Boston. See you in clinic.
