The idea is great in principle, and consists of harvestinging a few of your own fibroblasts (the cells that make your collagen for you), growing them into large numbers over a few weeks and then reinjecting them into you. At the moment that is all it is – a good idea – but if it ever becomes a reality we will be offering it. At the moment the general feeling is that it is too expensive, not reliable enough, and open to you feeling upset, ripped off and altogether unhappy!

How To Find A Good Practitioner

One of the challenges in getting the best from your Botox is to find somebody who really knows what they are doing but is at the same time affordable. How do you do that?

Well, the key is to find somebody you can trust.

Recommendation – If you have a friend who’s opinion you trust, and you can see that the doctor’s work looks good then you probably can’t say more than that.
Talk to the doctor – Will the doctor talk to you on the phone? Will he see you for an initial consultation, a short one without charge? Or if you want a longer one, will the charge be offset against the cost of future treatment? When you speak to the doctor, does he explain the downsides of a particular treatment? Does he give alternative treatment plans?

The main point of all this is to feel confident in his abilities. Often people will come to me and start with something simple to build up trust first hand….
