If you’ve been curious about BOTOX® Cosmetic but find yourself hesitating because of things you’ve heard from friends, family, or strangers on the internet, you’re not alone. Despite being one of the most popular non-surgical medspa services worldwide, BOTOX Cosmetic is surrounded by persistent myths that can make first-timers nervous.
At Fountain of Youth Rejuvenate Center MedSpa, Dr. Frank Lee and his expert team are well-versed in the misinformation that often arises when discussing BOTOX. They also have the answers and insights you need to decide if this treatment is right for you.
Discover five of the most common myths about BOTOX below.
Myth 1: BOTOX Will Freeze Your Face
This is the most common misconception. When administered correctly by a skilled professional like Dr. Lee, BOTOX softens dynamic wrinkles (like crow’s feet or frown lines) without affecting your ability to show emotion. At FOYRC MedSpa, we use precise doses and expert placement to keep you looking expressive, not frozen.
Myth 2: Only Older People Get BOTOX
While BOTOX is often used to smooth existing lines, many people in their 20s and 30s are turning to it as a preventative option. By relaxing facial muscles early, BOTOX can help delay the formation of deep wrinkles.
Myth 3: BOTOX Is Dangerous
BOTOX has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use since 2002 and is considered very safe when administered by a trained medical provider. Dr. Lee and his team also adhere to the highest safety standards and utilize state-of-the-art technology to ensure optimal outcomes.
Myth 4: The Results Are Immediate
Although many people wish it worked instantly, BOTOX usually takes 3 to 7 days to show full effects. Patience pays off. You’ll notice a gradual softening of lines and a more youthful, relaxed appearance.
Myth 5: You Have to Keep Getting It Forever
While BOTOX results typically last 3 to 4 months, there’s no obligation to keep going. You can choose to continue treatments for ongoing effects, but stopping won’t make wrinkles worse. In fact, consistent use may train muscles to contract less aggressively over time.
