Where a price quote meets a health screen
Why this site cannot rule anyone out
This site explains pricing, so it cannot tell you who is ruled out. That call belongs to the licensed provider who screens you, and the medical pages linked below are the right place to read the reasoning. What this page can do is show you where a price quote ends and a health screening begins.
Quote and screening answer different questions
A quote and a screening answer two different questions. A quote says what a visit costs. A screening says whether the visit should happen at all. If a number reaches you before anyone has asked about your health history, the number is an estimate of a plan that has not been checked yet.
Four published pages are worth reading before you book. MedlinePlus keeps a page on Botox and botulinum toxin. The Cleveland Clinic page on cosmetic Botox uses and side effects is written for patients. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons overview of botulinum toxin and its blog post on what you need to know about Botox are the other two.
Asking about screening before the price
Bring your questions to the screening, and ask for them in this order.
- What will you ask me about my health history before you quote a price?
- If my answers change the plan, does the quote change too, and how will you tell me?
- Who is the licensed person making the call about whether I am a fit?
Keep the answers somewhere you can find them again. A quote you can compare later is one that names the plan it was built on.
What a pricing site leaves to others
This site prices treatments and screens no one, so only a licensed provider who has reviewed your history can say whether you should skip an injection.
