Dr. Alexander Landfield
Board-Certified Neurologist & Medical Director
Despite being one of the most studied and widely used cosmetic treatments in the world, Botox is still surrounded by misconceptions. As a board-certified neurologist who administers and supervises Botox treatments, Dr. Landfield addresses the most common myths.
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.
Myth: Botox is only for older people. Fact: Preventative Botox in the late 20s to 30s can prevent deep wrinkles from ever forming. There is no minimum age requirement.
