Myths vs facts
“Well I heard…” Let’s clear things up—quickly and honestly.
Myth: “It’s dangerous.”
When used appropriately by a trained medical professional, Botox is widely used and well-studied for cosmetic treatment of facial lines. Botox is FDA approved and has been used for cosmetic indications since 2002. It is also used in medical settings for several conditions (for example: blepharospasm, strabismus, certain nerve/movement disorders, cervical dystonia, migraines, and detrusor overactivity from neurologic conditions).
We take safety seriously: detailed history, conservative dosing, and anatomy-based planning every time.
Myth: “You’ll look worse after it wears off.”
As Botox wears off, your muscle activity gradually returns and your face returns to how it looked before treatment. In many cases, lines may look less deep compared with before—especially if you’ve reduced repetitive creasing over time.
Myth: “It’s addicting—once you start, you can’t stop.”
Botox has no addictive properties. If you like the way you look when you’re refreshed, you may want to keep it up, but you can stop anytime.
Myth: “You won’t be able to feel anything in the treated area.”
Botox works at the nerve + muscle level to decrease movement. It is not an anesthetic. What changes is muscle activity—not skin sensation. You’ll still feel normal touch, temperature, and everyday sensations.
Myth: “You’ll be expressionless.”
You only look “frozen” when too much is placed or a one-size-fits-all approach is used. When done right, the muscles that create the wrinkles are relaxed just enough to soften lines while preserving your natural expression.
Myth: “It’s painful.”
Botox injections are generally very tolerable. The needle is extremely small—many people describe quick, tiny “pinches” that pass fast. We use comfort-focused technique and guide you the whole time.

Botox FAQ
How long does Botox last?
Many people see results that can last up to about 4 months. Because results are temporary, it helps to stay consistent. Treatments are typically spaced at least 90 days apart.
When will I see results?
You may begin to see changes in 1–2 days, with results continuing to develop over the next 1–2 weeks.
Is there downtime?
Treatment typically requires minimal downtime. Most clients return to their routine right after leaving the office.
How many units do people usually need?
It depends on anatomy and goals. For reference, FDA-approved amounts listed for common facial areas include 20 units for frown lines, 20 units for forehead lines, and 24 units for crow’s feet (12 per side). Your plan may differ based on your assessment.
Botox vs Dysport—what’s the difference?
Botox and Dysport are both neuromodulators used to relax specific facial muscles and soften the look of expression lines. One key difference is that Botox has been available the longest and is very extensively studied with a long-established safety profile. During your visit, we’ll recommend the best option based on your goals, anatomy, and past treatment history.
Can Botox help jaw clenching / TMJ tension?
In medical aesthetics, Botox is commonly used in the masseter muscles for facial slimming and to soften a wider jaw appearance in appropriate candidates. Some clients who also experience jaw clenching report that relaxing the masseters can feel more comfortable. Results vary, and this is not a treatment for TMJ disorders—your clinician will review your symptoms and determine whether masseter treatment is appropriate for you.
What is your Botox pricing?
Our Botox price is $13 per unit. Total cost depends on the areas treated and how many units you need. We’ll give you a clear recommendation and estimate during your visit.
How should I prepare for a Botox appointment?
Come with a clean face if possible. If you bruise easily, ask us about best practices beforehand. We’ll review your medical history, medications, and goals to plan safely.
