Our Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0patients love their results and how easy it is to fade wrinkles away. As we meet with patients, we\u2019ve realized that Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0is certainly popular, but is also deeply misunderstood, especially by patients that have yet to try the treatment. Today we\u2019re debunking some of Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u2019s biggest myths to discover the truth behind this powerful anti-aging treatment.<\/p>\n<h2>BOTOX<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0MYTH #1: BOTOX<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0CAN ELIMINATE ALL OF YOUR WRINKLES<\/h2>\n<p>Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0is effective, but it isn\u2019t the solution to every wrinkle. It works best on wrinkles that are caused by muscle contractions including crow\u2019s feet, lines between the brows, and forehead creases. If you have wrinkling that isn\u2019t caused by muscle movement, Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0isn\u2019t going to help. We\u2019ll help you determine if Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0is the right choice for your wrinkles. If it isn\u2019t, we\u2019ll help you find a different treatment that will work more effectively.<\/p>\n<h2>BOTOX<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0MYTH #2: YOU\u2019LL HAVE TO MISS WORK TO GET BOTOX<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/h2>\n<p>We know you\u2019re busy, but definitely not too busy for Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. The treatment itself takes about 15 minutes and you can return to work and other activities immediately. Many patients come in on their lunch break and are back to work, with time to eat, before lunch ends.<\/p>\n<h2>BOTOX<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0MYTH #3: YOU CAN\u2019T MAKE NORMAL EXPRESSIONS AFTER BOTOX<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/h2>\n<p>Do you worry about looking frozen and expressionless after a Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0treatment? You shouldn\u2019t be. Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0works by interfering with the nerves trying to tell muscles to contract. When the muscles don\u2019t contract, the skin smooths, and the wrinkles fade away. We use a very small amount of Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, just enough to relax the muscle, without completely freezing it. When a skilled injector administers Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, you\u2019ll be able to make normal facial expressions, but you\u2019ll have fewer wrinkles.<\/p>\n<h2>BOTOX<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0MYTH #4: NO OTHER TREATMENTS COMPARE WITH BOTOX<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/h2>\n<p>Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0is a wonderful, effective cosmetic treatment, but it isn\u2019t your only option. We also offer Dysport and Xeomin<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, other botulinum toxin treatments that provide similar results. Dysport works like Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, but has a bigger spread, so it works well on larger areas. Xeomin<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0doesn\u2019t use the same protein structure as Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0so it can be used by some patients with Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0allergies. These three treatments share many similarities, but have a few key differences too. We\u2019ll help you find the best option for your situation.<\/p>\n<h2>BOTOX<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0MYTH #5: I CAN\u2019T HANDLE ALL THOSE BOTOX<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0INJECTIONS<\/h2>\n<p>Many first-time Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0users worry about the injections. Will they hurt? How many do you really need? With Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, the needle is very small and many patients barely notice it. Most people do fine without any pain relief or numbing cream. If you\u2019re concerned, talk with us, but odds are, you\u2019ll get through your Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0treatment just fine and after you\u2019ll love your new, rejuvenated look.<br \/>\nNow that you know the truth about Botox<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, give us a call and schedule your consultation with Dr. Beale. Imagine a face with fewer wrinkles!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Botox\u00ae\u00a0is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the U.S. with millions of treatments performed each year.
