💬 Myth #1: Botox Freezes Your Face

Not when done properly.The goal isn’t to erase every expression—it’s to soften lines caused by repetitive movement, like frowning or squinting.

With precise placement, you’ll still look like you—just a smoother, rested version.

👵 Myth #2: Botox Is Only for Older People

Botox is now widely used by people in their late 20s and 30s as preventative care.Early treatment can delay the formation of deep-set lines, especially on the forehead and around the eyes.

🧪 Myth #3: Botox Builds Up Over Time

False. Botox metabolises completely.Once it wears off (usually 3–4 months), your muscles regain movement. There’s no “build-up” in your body.

😶 Myth #4: You Can’t Show Emotion After Botox

That’s a sign of bad placement—not the product.Properly placed Botox allows for natural expression while reducing harsh creases.

☠️ Myth #5: Botox Is Dangerous or Toxic

Botox is a purified protein that’s been used medically for decades (even in children with cerebral palsy).When used correctly, it’s incredibly safe—with a long clinical safety record.

💸 Myth #6: Only Celebrities Use Botox

Nope. Botox is now accessible, subtle, and customisable.Most of your friends who “just look really good” might already be using it—and you wouldn’t even know.

🛑 Myth #7: Botox Will Ruin Your Skin If You Stop

Stopping Botox doesn’t make your skin worse.You’ll just gradually return to your baseline expressions and wrinkle pattern. Many people pause or space out treatments without issue.

❓ FAQs

Q: Is Botox better preventatively or reactively?Both! It works beautifully for softening existing lines, but can also prevent them from getting deeper.

Q: Can I combine Botox with other treatments?Yes. It pairs well with microneedling, LED therapy, and fillers for complete rejuvenation.

✨ Final Thoughts

When it comes to Botox, education is everything.Don’t let TikTok or myths hold you back from something that could make you feel fresh, confident, and natural—on your terms.
