Thinking of an easy way out to get rid of those wrinkles or crow’s feet? We know the first thing that comes to mind is Botox®, and rightfully so.

Check out these five myths associated with Botox!

1. Botox® is toxic

Botox®is a purified protein derivative of Botulinum toxin A. It has been tested and approved by the US FDA, and people have been using it for the last two decades. Botox® is also used to treat migraine and excessive sweating on the palms, soles and underarms.

2. It has a lot of side effects

A Botox® does not have any long-term side effects. If the patient experiences redness, heavy eyelids or headaches after the treatment, it lasts for only a few hours and is nothing to worry or panic about at all.

3. You will have an expressionless face if you get Botox®

You need to consult a qualified and trained professional to get the treatment. This normally only happens if too much Botox® is injected. A qualified medical professional will know the right dosage of Botox® to be given that won’t freeze your face or make you expressionless.

4. Your lines and wrinkles will worsen if you discontinue Botox®

The lines and wrinkles on your face will be the same as they were before you got Botox®. Yes, you need to get repeated injections but they only make your skin look smoother.

5. Botox® is only for older people

Anyone between the age of 18 to 80 years can get a Botox®. It is approved by the US FDA, and you won’t have to worry about skin aging or damage. If you want to get rid of wrinkles and get a smoother skin without having to spend too much time, go for it.
