3 Myths of Botox

June 5, 2017 By Connie Odom

Metro MediSpa botox wilmington ncBotox is amongst the most used treatments for fine lines and wrinkles. Many people have benefitted from Botox in Wilmington NC, but here is a majority of individuals who have misconceptions or myths about it.  Many folks are not acutely aware of what it does or doesn’t do.  Who are the best candidates for this treatment?  How do you know if Botox will work for you? Dispelling some of these myths will allow you to make an informed judgment.  Here are three myths about Botox with the facts.

MYTH: Botox is meant only for wrinkles

FACT: Botox is used cosmetic purposes, but also has other medical purposes. The effect of relaxing muscles has brought relief in other areas.  Botox injections have helped patients who suffer from depression, migraines, and excessive sweating.

MYTH: The perfect time to use Botox for cosmetic purposes is as soon as wrinkles, or fine lines appear.

FACT: People who have used Botox earlier have benefited in the long run. Some are using botox with greater frequency for preventative treatments rather than waiting for the lines to be visible. If a person waits until the lines become etched on the skin, it implies greater difficulty in smoothing them out. Wrinkles and lines develop as the muscles work to perform movements such as raising eyebrows, scowling, and squinting. Those people who start using Botox as a preventative measure, actually learn not to make certain facial expressions worsening their lines. Making certain facial expressions or reducing those facial expressions may require less Botox.

MYTH: Stopping Botox treatments will deteriorate the wrinkles

FACT: That is entirely false. The wrinkles and lines will just go back to their original position. Botox prevents the wrinkles from worsening as the treatment goes on. When Botox treatments stop, the relaxing effect of Botox will reduce and normal wrinkle development will resume. Botox does not make wrinkles worse.  Botox results last from three to four months. Sometimes, the results last a bit longer.  Muscles immobilized for long times and can atrophy. However, once Botox is halted, the muscles gradually return to their initial position.
