Wait Times Shorter For Botox Than For Mole Removal

MIAMI (CBS) ― A study found that the wait time for routine and urgent dermatology appointments can typically exceed 3 to 4 weeks. But a patient can get in the office much faster wanting a botox injection.

In the most recent edition of The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatologists, researchers found patients seeking a cosmetic botox injection have faster access to dermatologists than for patients seeking urgent consultation for a mole extraction, reports CBS station WFOR-TV.

Half of the dermatologists in the study said they offered appointments for botox injections with a median wait time of about 8 days. In comparison with a previous study, the median wait times for evaluating a mole could be up to 26 days.

The researchers said dermatologists in Miami, Fla, and Orange County, California, were more likely to provide shorter wait times for a botox appointment than other cities.
