For years, botox treatments and injectable fillers have been used for the rejuvenation of the face and neckline, with botox also being used to diminish headaches and to minimize excessive perspiration.These days, instead of waiting to see the deep lines and “crow’s feet” which develop with aging, people are taking control of their appearance by getting botox treatments before the deep lines and tell-tale creases set in, postponing the process. This way, the deep lines never have the chance to develop, and all that is required a required is a low maintenance routine of touch ups.Whereas much is known about botox, there are still a few myths and misconceptions which we have clarified below:
- Myth #1 – The injections are very painful.
- Myth #2 – My face will be horribly bruised for days!
- Myth #3 – Botox and fillers do not work for me.
- Myth #4 – Botox and fillers are for women only.
- Make sure your doctor/ esthetician /nurse is board certified from reputable school. The Botox needs to be approved by the FDA and don’t be afraid to ask to see the original packaging.
- Follow all post-treatment instructions. You will be provided with a list of specific post procedural instructions. For example, After treatment, you should not lay down for at least 2 hours, you should avoid the sun, etc.
