| What have your experiences been with cosmetic dermatology? Did you love one procedure, but maybe not another? What made the biggest difference? Most bang for your buck. I’m 55 and have never seen a cosmetic dermatologist and have no idea where to begin. How often do you schedule appointments and what’s the yearly cost? |

| Completely depends on what you view as your issues. Filler and Botox as most common, but there are lasers, skin tightening, etc. |

| There’s a reason Botox is the #1 cosmetic procedure in the country. It definitely provides the biggest bang for your buck. |

I'm in Richmond and it's about $7000/year give or take.
4x/year: Botox (25-35iu) and Juvederm (usually Ultra Plus XC in lips and sometimes Voluma in the cheeks) 1x/year: Skinvive 1x/year: Fraxel I'm 37 and the biggest impact has been my rhinoplasty and mid facelift. The injectables and fraxel are for maintenance and, imo, are not substitutes for surgery. |

You must look like a cartoon character. That is a shitload for a 37 year old. |

| OP - consider starting with consultation only with both a dermatologist and plastic surgeon to get different perspectives. Some plastic surgeons also do nonsurgical treatments, not just surgery. |

Not op but another newbie here, I'd love to hear opinions about which kind of botox is the best since there is now so many types! |
