Ideally, all injectables should be used evenly and conservatively, in a way only you would notice, says plastic surgeon David Shafer, M.D., of Shafer Clinic in New York City. A gradual approach is especially key when you're first starting out. You could try a small amount of filler to see if you like the effect, says Konstantin Vasyukevich, M.D., a facial plastic surgeon in New York City. If you want more, you can get it at a future session. With neurotoxin treatments like Botox and Dysport, which paralyze muscles to smooth out wrinkles, your goal should be "relaxing the muscles as opposed to freezing every movement," he adds. It's best to choose a board-certified doctor or nurse with deep experience in cosmetic injections. Also, avoid offices that offer nonmedical treatments like pedicures or haircuts or that seem disorganized or rushed. "When patients come into the clinic, I like to assess them by having a normal conversation," says Dr. Shafer. "I pay attention to their facial expressions and nuances; this helps ensure the most natural result."
