The Truth about Botox ®

Part 2

BOTOX ® temporarily smoothes moderate to severe frown lines, helping you to regain a more youthful appearance. Its affordability, effectiveness, safety record and treatment comfort makes BOTOX ® a true winner compared to any other anti-wrinkle treatment.

Yet, many possible candidates that could greatly benefit from BOTOX ® treatments are hesitant due to unjustified misconceptions:



Myth 3: "BOTOX ® will poison my body"

As with any medication, BOTOX ® is safe with proper dosing

For cosmetic use, the typical patient receives an average of 20-70 units of BOTOX ® per treatment. Over time, the body naturally eliminates the administered BOTOX ®. This is why the effects of BOTOX ® are temporary. As with every medication, excessive amounts can be dangerous. The lethal dose of BOTOX ® is 2800 units, 100 times the average dose given for the treatment of lines and wrinkles. Even Tylenol®, one of the safest pain medications can cause liver failure and death when used in very large doses.


Myth 4: "I am afraid of painful injections"

BOTOX ® injections are virtually painless

Your BOTOX ® treatment involves a few tiny injections that require no anesthesia. However, an attentive doctor will provide an anesthetic cream or ice pack prior to your treatment to make it as comfortable as possible. Talk to your doctor about your fears, as she/he can alleviate your concerns through proper education.
