What You Should Know About Botox for Asian Skin

For a long time, plastic surgery focused on helping patients reach a very western beauty standard. However, Botox and other cosmetic services are increasingly popular among people with Asian features. There are some unique considerations when it comes to applying Botox for Asian skin.

Here is everything you need to know about coming in for treatment at Cosmetic Dermatology Center in McLean, VA.

Respecting Existing Face Shape Is Important

While plastic surgery used to try to make everyone fit a specific mold, there is now a greater effort to respect and preserve Asian facial features while making the adjustments. People may choose treatments without worrying that they will end up looking unlike themselves.

Cultural Preferences Should Be Considered

If you are looking for a cosmetic services provider, make sure that you find someone who understands to take your culture’s facial features into account. Make sure that your provider has experience with face shapes that are similar to yours as well.

You May Need Less Botox for Asian Skin

If you have an Asian skin or facial shape, you may need fewer units of Botox than someone who is Caucasian. This is because people with Asian facial features often have a lower wrinkle score. In some cases, people with Asian features may need less than half of the amount of Botox as their caucasian counterparts.

Know About the Risk of Hyperpigmentation

In rare cases, Botox for Asian skin can cause hyperpigmentation in skin types with a lot of melanin. For this reason, it is important to have a provider that understands this potential side effect and who will take measures to avoid this.
