After calling several places around town I settled on Aesthetic Medicine because of their inexpensive botox packages and a recommendation from a friend. On my first appt I was pulled into a side office where I was given a sales pitch and pressured to purchase services worth over $2000. I declined and purchased the botox package I initially came in to buy. I have received three botox treatments to date, and have experienced services I feel are well below par. More importantly my botox has never lasted longer than 10 weeks at the most, which is a far shorter period of time than treatments I've received from another local provider. After discussing this with the woman doctor I was told this can happen if I didn't follow the after-care procedures or if the muscles were not totally numbed by the treatment. However, I always follow the after-care steps to the letter, and actually received more units of botox than I received at the other location. Is it possible to dilute botox?
I just always feel that this place is rushed, disorganized, unprofessional, and sales-focused. Some of the staff are great, but a few are the opposite of great. I have one remaining botox treatment remaining in my package, but have already chosen a new medical spa where I'll be going for subsequent treatments. I'm going to trust my gut about this place and leave while I'm ahead.
Pros: inexpensive botox
Cons: What are the drawbacks?
