Myth 1: Botox will freeze my face
A common misconception! When administered by an expert dermatologist, Botox simply relaxes the targeted muscles. You will still be able to show full expression without forming deep wrinkles.
Myth 2: It's toxic
Botox is a highly purified protein and has an incredible safety record spanning decades of medical use. It is FDA-approved and widely utilized across various medical disciplines.
Preventative Botox
Starting Botox in your late 20s or early 30s can actually prevent deep lines from ever forming by training the muscles not to contract excessively.
