Are you considering BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport® to refresh your look? You’re not alone!

These injectable treatments are popular among people looking to address wrinkles and fine lines. But with so much information about neuromodulators, it’s easy to feel confused.

Led by a double-board certified plastic surgeon, the experienced professionals at Exclusively Faces Cosmetic Surgery and Medispa in Sharpsburg, GA, are here to set the record straight. Below, we debunk some common myths about BOTOX Cosmetic and Dysport.

Myth #1: BOTOX Cosmetic and Dysport Freeze Your Face

Some people worry that BOTOX Cosmetic and Dysport injections will cause a “frozen” expression. However, the frozen look typically results from poor injection technique. The providers at Exclusively Faces have the skills to ensure you get natural-looking results.

These treatments relax targeted muscles that contribute to wrinkles, like those between your brows or around your eyes. They smooth out the skin, but you’ll still be able to frown, smile, and express yourself naturally.

Myth #2: Nueromodulators Are Only for Existing Wrinkles

BOTOX Cosmetic and Dysport aren’t just for treating existing wrinkles. They can also be used as a preventative measure. 

You can delay the formation of lines and wrinkles by getting neuromodulator injections in your 20s or 30s. After all, these treatments are perfect for reducing excessive muscle activity and preventing the skin from creasing. 

Myth #3: The Results Are Permanent

Many people worry about committing to a permanent change. Rest assured, the effects of BOTOX Cosmetic and Dysport are temporary. You can typically expect your results to last for three to four months. After that, you can decide to continue treatments to maintain a youthful appearance.

Myth #4: Anti-Aging Injections Are Painful

It’s normal to feel apprehensive about a treatment involving needles. Fortunately, cosmetic injections are relatively quick and painless. Most people say they only feel a slight pinch that lasts a few seconds. If you’re still concerned, ask your provider about numbing cream.

Myth #5: BOTOX Cosmetic and Dysport Are Unsafe

BOTOX Cosmetic and Dysport have a long history of safe use when administered by a qualified medical professional. At Exclusively Faces, our experienced staff prioritizes your safety and comfort, using only FDA-approved products and following strict protocols.
