The Truth About Botox: Myths vs. Facts
Thinking about Botox but worried it might freeze your face? You’re not alone. There’s a lot of misinformation out there, so let’s clear up what’s true and what’s not.
Myth 1: Botox freezes your face
Botox doesn’t make you expressionless, it just relaxes specific muscles that cause wrinkles. You’ll still smile, frown, and laugh naturally, just with smoother skin.
Myth 2: Botox is only for older people
Many people in their 20s and 30s use “preventative Botox” to stop fine lines from forming. Starting early can help you maintain a more youthful look over time.
Myth 3: Botox lasts forever
Results typically last about three to four months. With regular treatments, you can keep wrinkles soft and your skin looking refreshed year-round.
Myth 4: Botox isn’t safe
Botox is FDA-approved and has been used safely for years. When done by a trained provider, it’s one of the safest non-surgical treatments available.
Myth 5: Preventative Botox doesn’t work
Done correctly, preventative Botox can delay signs of aging by relaxing the muscles that create wrinkles before they deepen.
Botox isn’t about changing how you look, it's about helping you feel confident and refreshed.
