Botox is the subject of many common questions and misconceptions. This clinic-published overview is educational and does not establish a named physician as its author or reviewer.

Myth: Botox is toxic and dangerous. Fact: Botox uses purified botulinum toxin in extremely small, precisely controlled doses that are FDA-approved and have been safely used for over 20 years in both cosmetic and medical applications.

Myth: Botox will make you look frozen. Fact: Skilled injection technique preserves natural facial expressions. A frozen look results from over-treatment. Our conservative approach ensures you look refreshed, not rigid.

Myth: Once you start Botox, you have to continue forever. Fact: If you stop Botox, your muscles simply return to normal function. You will not look worse than before treatment - you just return to your natural aging trajectory.
