Trust your face to the experts. Discover why Botox® should only be administered by a board-certified medical professional. Get safe, natural-looking results you can feel confident about. Read on to learn more.

As many as 11 million people worldwide have received Botox®, making it one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures available today. 

Botox's ability to smooth fine lines and reduce wrinkles has made it a go-to treatment for people wanting to look refreshed and rejuvenated without downtime. Botox has become so common that it may seem like who performs the injections doesn't matter much. But in reality, who performs the injections matters as much as the product itself.

At North Pacific Dermatology & Aesthetics, board-certified dermatologist Kelly Kinsley, MD, is exceptionally qualified to apply Botox. She has a deep understanding of the skin and your facial anatomy.

If you're considering Botox, here's why it's essential to have your treatment performed by a board-certified medical professional.

Proper training and certifications

A board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Kinsley has undergone extensive facial anatomy, injection technique, and patient safety training. She passed rigorous examinations and maintains ongoing education. 

This means she's not just trained in aesthetics – she's trained in medicine.

While some providers may offer Botox without medical credentials, this can put you at greater risk for complications or unsatisfactory results. As a qualified medical provider, Dr. Kinsley knows exactly where and how much Botox to inject to produce natural-looking, balanced results.

Consider safety

Botox is an FDA-approved treatment, but that doesn’t make it risk-free. Incorrect placement or dosing can lead to side effects such as:

  • Drooping eyelids or brows
  • Uneven facial expressions
  • Bruising, swelling, or pain
  • Headaches or flu-like symptoms
  • Muscle weakness in unintended areas

Dr. Kinsley follows strict protocols to minimize risk. She also knows how to recognize and manage complications if they occur – something unlicensed or undertrained providers are not equipped to do.

Personalized care

You get a personalized medical evaluation when you come to North Pacific Dermatology & Aesthetics. To create a tailored treatment plan, Dr. Kinsley assesses your facial structure, muscle movement, and aesthetic goals. This ensures that your results are subtle, effective, and appropriate for your features.

Dr. Kinsley also takes into account your medical history so you avoid any unwanted interactions or side effects.

Clinical setting and professional standards

Receiving Botox in a clean, professional medical office ensures that the product is stored correctly. We use sterile equipment and have emergency protocols in place if needed. 

Botox should never be administered at parties, pop-up events, or salons lacking medical oversight. These environments may compromise safety.

Your face deserves expert care

Choosing a board-certified medical professional for Botox treatments means choosing safety, precision, and expert care. At North Pacific Dermatology & Aesthetics, Dr. Kinsley is committed to delivering beautiful, natural-looking results in a setting where your health and confidence come first.
