Common Botox Myths
Although the use of Botox in cosmetic medicine is already well-known, there are some people who still have concerns over the use of Botox for treatment of wrinkles and skin aging. Read on and take a look at some of the common myths on the use of Botox.
* Is there a risk of poisoning due to Botox?
At the right amount, Botox will not cause any form of poisoning. The solutions used for Botox injections are in very dilute amounts that their effects are only a very small fraction of the concentrated botulinum toxin.
* Do I have to wait until I am 30 years old before I get a Botox treatment?
While many of the patients who undergo Botox treatments are over 30, it doesn't mean that people under this age cannot get treatments. There are people who experience premature aging that they encounter frown lines and wrinkles as early as the age of 20. As long as you are over 18, you have no medical conditions that may be complicated by the administration of Botox and you are not pregnant nor nursing a baby, you may get Botox treatments.
* Are Botox injections painful?
The injection used for the administration of Botox is very small that once it is used, you will just feel a slight prick at the injection site. This little amount of pain will go away minutes after the treatment is finished. However, if you are really concerned about the pain, you may request for local anesthetic prior to the injection of Botox.
