Purtox is an injectable that will lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the patient's face. Purtox is a close cousin to the popular injectable Botox. Purtox is composed of a purer form of botulinum toxin, which is supposed to result in more immediate changes that are more effective and have longer lasting results for the patient. Preparing for a treatment of Purtox is a fairly simple process.
Finding the Right Doctor
One of the most important things that a patient can do before scheduling a Purtox treatment is to make sure that their doctor is a licensed medical professional. Purtox is a very simple treatment, but it should still be considered a medical procedure. The risks of complications can multiply if the treatment is not performed by a highly trained medical professional.
Medical Questionnaire
A doctor should ask all patients to fill out a medical questionnaire before recommending the Purtox treatment. It is very important that the patient answer all of the health questions honestly. The doctor should be aware of any allergies that the patient may have. There have been instances of severe allergic reactions with botulinum toxin injectables. This will help the doctor decide if the patient is a good candidate for the Purtox treatment.
Medications
It is important that the patient let the doctor know of all medications they are on. The doctor should be made aware of all prescription and over the counter medications being taken. The use of some medications may have to be discontinued before the patient undergoes the Purtox treatment.
