Botox, a non-surgical cosmetic treatment option that’s ever popular, is one of the most frequently requested ‘wrinkle removal’ treatments worldwide – but with popularity comes myths and misunderstandings. We believe in an informed client; it is the best you can be. Here are a few of the myths about Botox, countered with facts:
Myth #1: Botox Is Dangerous
Fact: Botox is extremely safe when given by a well-trained, experienced provider. Health Canada and the FDA approve it for cosmetic and medical use. Botox is a purified version of the botulinum toxin that relaxes muscles, lessening the appearance of wrinkles and treating various conditions, including migraines and excessive sweating.
At Dr. Kavita Medical & Cosmetic Clinic, we take the necessary precautions and carry out personalised checks to provide you with safe treatments.
Myth #2: Botox Will Freeze Your Face
Fact: Botox doesn’t have to leave you looking like a deer in headlights. The frozen look is typically a consequence of overuse or improper administration of injections. In the hands of a talented injector, Botox will do nothing more than a little wrinkle preventing, and won’t completely rob you of your identity.
Our clinic adopts a conservative protocol to create a result that looks natural, just refreshed, not overdone.
Myth #3: Botox Is Addictive
Fact: You can’t become physically addicted to Botox. But lots of people adore their results and opt to maintain them with treatments once every 3–4 months. Taking pride in your appearance and wanting to feel good doesn’t make you a person with an addiction—it makes you someone who values self-care.
Myth #4: Botox Is Only for Wrinkles
Fact: Botox has many medical uses. It is approved for chronic migraines, muscle spasms, T.M.J., excess perspiration (hyperhidrosis), and even some eye conditions. We also work neurologically when administering Botox at Dr. Kavita Medical & Cosmetic Clinic.
Myth #5: Anyone Can Administer Botox
Fact: Botox injections should only be done by qualified medical professionals. You are in safe hands if you select a reputable clinic such as Dr. Kavita Medical & Cosmetic Clinic, which has a wealth of experience and knowledge about facial anatomy.
