True or False: Botox® is the world’s #1 non-surgical cosmetic treatment. If you answered TRUE, you are correct! Botox is, in fact, the world’s most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment, helping millions of people around the globe to redefine the aging process as we know it. Ready for more? Take our quiz to see how well you know this tried-and-true age-defying solution.
True or False: It’s a myth that Botox works to prevent wrinkles from forming.
The answer is FALSE!
Botox is proven to help stave off lines and wrinkles by relaxing your wrinkle-rousing muscles. When you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Lines and wrinkles are the result of years of facial expressions and repeated muscle movements. So if you slow or stop that muscle movement, you are preventing lines and wrinkles from setting in or, at the very least, slowing down their development.
True or False: Botox is FDA-approved to reduce excessive sweating and migraines.
The answer is TRUE!
In addition to smoothing lines and wrinkles, Botox can also be used to help reduce hyperhidrosis and prevent migraines among chronic sufferers.
True or False: Botox is FDA-approved to treat lines and wrinkles on the forehead, between the brows, and crow’s feet around the eyes.
The answer is TRUE!
However, this is sort of a trick question, because Botox has been safely administered “off-label” to other areas of the face for several years, helping to improve gummy smiles, calm overactive chins, reduce pore size and much more.
True or False: Botox shouldn’t be combined with skin rejuvenation treatments.
The answer is TRUE!
Botox can actually be broken down by lasers and other energy treatments. Certain skin treatments may also move Botox to undesirable locations. For this reason, we ask our clients to wait at least two full weeks after their Botox injections before undergoing skin treatments. Often, we recommend scheduling your skin rejuvenation treatments well before your injectables session, since any activity in the skin can speed the metabolism of the injectables before their time, diminishing their effectiveness and shortening the duration of benefits. By the way, this also applies to dermal fillers!
True or False: Botox makes you look frozen.
The answer is FALSE!
You will look like you, only smoother with Botox! Administered properly by a licensed professional like Dr. Faye Jamali, your results will look natural and blissfully invisible. Only you’ll know why you look so refreshed and well-rested, and that’s exactly the way it should be!
