Botox Injector in Fairfax, VA: Is the Deal in Your Feed Worth the Risk to Your Face?

You’ve screenshotted a Botox deal that popped up in your feed, and the price is hard to ignore. Before you book it, it’s worth knowing what a Botox injector in Fairfax, VA should be able to show you at your first visit. Here’s what to expect when you meet with Waseem Garbia, PA-C, a certified master injector and international Allergan trainer, at Dontage.

What Should I Look for in a Botox Injector in Fairfax, VA?

At the beginning of your complimentary consultation, you and Waseem will go over what bothers you in the mirror, whether it’s the two lines between your brows or the faint rows across your forehead. Feel free to ask him how many faces he treats in a week, where he trained, and who he has trained. As an international Allergan trainer, he teaches other injectors, so expect a direct answer.

Be sure to ask to see the vial as well. Authentic Botox arrives in a sealed vial from Allergan with a lot number, and a reputable practice will show it to you without hesitation. Keep in mind that a deal priced far below the going rate can mean diluted product or an injector who picks up a syringe once in a while, and that is where uneven brows and a droopy lid come from.

What Happens at My First Botox Appointment if I Skip the Deal?

Typically, the injections themselves take less than 15 minutes. Waseem will ask you to frown and raise your brows, mark the spots, and place a series of tiny injections that feel like a quick pinch followed by some pressure. That part is normal. Having had it done ourselves, we can tell you the pinches are over before you’ve finished your story about the weekend.

As injectors, we start a first-timer conservatively, since we can add a few units at your two-week check but can’t take any out. You’ll see the lines soften within a few days and settle at one to two weeks. In the event a brow ends up heavier than you’d like, rest assured that it wears off on its own over three to four months.

You’ll find Waseem’s work, and that of Mary K. Carter, PA-C, and Lizzie Callahan, RN, BSN, in our Botox gallery before you book.
