"Effects" can mean two things: the result you are hoping for, and what you might feel along the way. Both are worth asking about.
The result you want and what you might feel
A calm place to start is a hospital health library's article on the long-term effects of Botox and what happens once injections stop. Once you have read it, ask your provider how it applies to you.
Turning effects into a short question list
Bring a few plain questions to your provider:
- What result is realistic for my goal?
- How might I feel right after the visit, and what should I watch for later?
- Who do I contact if something feels wrong?
- What does it cost to keep the result going, if I choose to?
Keep the answers somewhere you can find them again.
Seeing how other people think about it
Go through that page, write your questions, and choose a consultation only when you feel ready. If you are curious how other people think about cosmetic Botox, a study from Arar, Saudi Arabia on what residents know and think about cosmetic botulinum toxin injections looks at that question in one community.
No deadline on this choice
The effects that matter for you are best explained by a licensed provider after seeing you in person. There is no deadline on this decision.
