Injecting is both an art and a science. When it comes to neuromodulators like BOTOX® Cosmetic or dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM®, a small mistake can have big consequences! That’s why expert injectors measure twice and inject once. The science behind this process must be precise and backed by knowledge of both the formulas and human anatomy.
The truth is that no two faces are alike. Therefore, a good injector must take individuality into account. That’s where the “art” of injecting shines. Knowing which areas to emphasize is a skill developed through practice and continued education. Here at BodyLase® MedSpa, as a top 1% Allergan practice in the nation, our injectors have the knowledge and experience you’re looking for. They combine art and science to give you amazing results each and every time.
It’s no trivial thing. With so many aesthetic clinics opening up, finding an experienced set of hands is more difficult than ever. You shouldn’t trust just anyone to inject filler into your lips or neuromodulator into your forehead. Instead, you should get to know our expert team. By a thorough evaluation and a discussion about your concerns, our injectors can determine the best injection techniques specific to your goals. Get to know our team today and discover the BodyLase® difference!
