5 facts and myths about botox - dispelling doubts

Botox is an extremely popular cosmetic procedure. Nonetheless, there are still myths about it in society worldwide. Today we will address them.

1. Is Botox safe?

Botox, also known as botulinum toxin, although it sounds scary, when used by a properly qualified person, is very safe for humans. It has been used in medicine since the 1970s and is even used in small children. In the late '80s and '90s, the procedure made its way into aesthetic medicine practices and effectively conquered the whole world. At Ambasada Urody, Botox treatments are performed with high-quality products by qualified doctors. This is something worth paying special attention to when choosing a clinic.

2. Will the face look worse than before when Botox stops working?

We quickly get used to luxury and a nicer appearance. When Botox stops working, it may seem to us that things are much worse. However, these are just appearances, because besides its primary effect, Botox has other advantages. Primarily, relaxed muscles help to prevent the formation and deepening of wrinkles, and the skin has time to regenerate (when combined with, for example, mesotherapy, the effect will be even greater). Specialists at Ambasada Urody also point out that for people who have a habit of frowning, it is a great way to break this habit. This makes wrinkle prevention even more effective.

Considering all of the above, the answer to the question is quite clear.

3. Will anything "sag" after getting Botox?

With a well-collected medical history and a properly performed procedure, nothing like that should happen. However, it may turn out that we have some condition we were not aware of, or for example, if we habitually hold our brows up, there may be some sagging of the brows or another part of the face in the case of a condition.

4. Can Botox be used to fill lips?

Although the myth about using Botox to fill lips is becoming rarer (fortunately), you can still come across the statement that lips are filled with Botox. Botox is responsible for relaxing mimetic muscles. It is not used to fill lips. Lip enhancement is done using fillers such as hyaluronic acid.

5. Can you be allergic to Botox?

Contrary to appearances, it is not a myth. You can be allergic to Botox. In its mild form, the effect of the treatment will simply be greatly reduced. Unfortunately, when the allergy is more intense, the consequences can be serious. However, doctors reassure that this happens very rarely and can be prevented in most cases by correctly following all the procedures related to the treatment.

We hope that we have managed to dispel any doubts you may have had about Botox. Which point surprised you the most?
