Common Myths about botox

Running a Medical Spa (Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center) I have realized there are many misconceptions about Botox Cosmetic. Here are a few:
Myth 1: Botox is a poison. Some people mistakenly think that Botox is toxic, however most people have now realized the falseness of this claim. With Botox, the amount in the injection is extremely mild and not enough to do any harm to you. It is safe and effective to treat frown lines, crow’s feet, and even can be injected under the arms or in the hands to cure excessive sweating. A qualified injector can perform this for you.

Myth 2: Botox is painful. This is a big fear that we hear from many patients, but rest easy, there is no cause for concern. Botox injections involve a needle, which is likely why patients think it will be painful. In fact, the needle is extremely tiny, and the injection makes such a small impact, that it’s really no big deal. You can always request an anesthetic cream to be applied before the procedure, and a good Med- Spa will always comply with your wishes. The pain is minimal,but Winter Park Laser offers complimentary numbing cream.

Myth 3: Botox can cause droopy eye- lids. “Ptosis” or drooping eyelids is a potential side effect of Botox, however this is rare, self-limited and treatable. We en- courage all potential Botox candidates to always have this procedure done in a safe environment, in a Medical Spa/doctor’s office, never at a Botox party in someone's house, day spa or anywhere that isn’t properly licensed. Botox can create a whole new energy to your face, stop excessive sweating and re- ally help you to look your best.
