All doctors, especially dermatologists and plastic surgeons. And, in the specific case of botulinum toxin (a drug commonly called "Botox" and used to treat migraine and excessive sweating problems in particular) are also authorized to inject the two aforementioned categories as well as neurologists, maxillofacial surgeons , ENT, ophthalmologists.
Because looking like a lifeline is giving us serious annoyances… Aesthetic medicine is very special since it is not yet recognized. Doctors are still awaiting decrees aimed at regulating it. In addition, there is no dedicated training, only an inter-university diploma in morphological and anti-aging medicine. But, let it be said, it is a (real) specialty. It must be exercised by experienced doctors, who do not practice only occasionally. To choose, the best is still "word of mouth" even if, in France, it is not an easy way since we do not admit or little that we have recourse to aesthetic medicine (except at its best girlfriend, and more). We also think of asking his general practitioner or dermatologist if he knows someone. And we are wary of the Internet, "the real danger" according to Dr. Niforos, who considers it a great communication tool for serious people as well as... for those who are not serious.

Above all, we draw up a detailed estimate. The consultation also helps us to identify the patient, in order to avoid excesses... which do not wait for the number of years (from the age of 18, some dream of a sausage mouth, yes, yes!!). Our role is to frame the request and say whether we can meet it. Or not. We guide the patient towards the right solution, the one that restores the volumetric harmony of the face and the quality of the skin”.
