Скачать или смотреть Botox Myths vs. Facts: Can Stopping Make Wrinkles Worse

How it Works: Botox is a neurotoxin that paralyzes muscles, causing the overlying skin to relax and smooth out wrinkles.
Safety: At cosmetic doses and performed by a trained professional, Botox is considered extremely safe with life-threatening complications being very rare.
Side Effects: Rare temporary side effects like eyelid drooping or double vision can occur if the toxin spreads locally.
FDA Approved: Botox has been FDA-approved for over 20 years and has an excellent safety profile.
Prevents New Wrinkles: Long-term, regular Botox use can prevent new wrinkles from forming and remodel the skin to be less prone to them.
Stopping Effect: Stopping Botox treatment does not make wrinkles worse; they gradually return to their state before treatment (or may even be less severe than if you hadn't used it).
Resistance is Rare: Developing a resistance or tolerance to Botox over time is uncommon, occurring in only about 1-2% of patients.
Not Reversible: Unlike some fillers, Botox cannot be dissolved with an enzyme, but its effects are temporary and wear off in 3-4 months.
Avoiding "Frozen Face": A stiff or expressionless look is usually due to over-use or improper injection technique, not proper dosing by a skilled professional.
Botox Creams Don't Work: So-called "Botox-like creams" are superficial and do not reach the necessary muscle layer; injectable Botox is the only proven method for true muscle relaxation and wrinkle reduction.
