Botox treatments have been growing in popularity for years, but no one talks about it. It’s odd considering men and women of all ages use Botox to look and feel younger.

There is no reason to feel ashamed of wanting to look your best! If more people would just talk about their treatments and share their experiences, everyone could know what to expect out of the process and achieve better results.

The five most popular myths about Botox

If you have never had a Botox treatment before then, it can seem like a scary proposition. Especially with all the misinformation there is floating around. But keep in mind, most of these scare tactics are started by people that have never used Botox and never plan to.

The following five myths are by far the most prevalent making the rounds at the moment:

1. For optimal results, you should wait till the first wrinkles start to appear. Not true. In fact, the best use of Botox is in a preventative role. If you stop the wrinkles from forming in the first place, then you don’t give them time to cause damage.

2. You can’t stop using Botox because all the wrinkles will come back worse than before! They may go back to how they were before the treatment, but there will be no worsening of the lines you had. Botox just stiffens the muscles under your skin to give a smooth appearance, so when they gradually relax you look the same as ever.

3. Botox is the right choice for people of all ages. Wrinkles and facial lines are primarily the

4. Wrinkles are not the only thing Botox works on. Smoothing out the signs of aging is only one benefit of a Botox treatment. A lot of people don’t realize that Botox can also prevent heavy sweating and in some cases, prevent depression.

5. Botox treatments are just for the ladies! That may have been true in the beginning, but just as many men are using Botox now as women. Why should women be the only ones allowed to look and feel good? Men can benefit from Botox in countless ways. For instance, wrinkles make you look perpetually irritated so a Botox treatment will make you much more approachable.

 How does a Botox treatment from the Ageless Center benefit you?

There is just no getting around it. Botox is one of, if not the top treatment for lines and wrinkles associated with aging. If you have not been given a Botox treatment yet, you may not realize all of the benefits you will receive. These treatments:

• Are effective non-surgical solutions to wrinkles and lines. Very few people are gifted with a flawless complexion. Most of us will need a little help to achieve the results we want, and Botox is a fantastic solution. It’s minimally invasive and can help with wrinkles in the forehead, neck and around the mouth.
• May reduce the severity of migraine headaches.
• Can decrease excessive sweating. When it gets hot, everyone gets a little worried about underarm sweat. Most of us can control the problem with antiperspirant, but some people aren’t so fortunate. If you experience excessive sweating and you want to avoid being embarrassed in public, then Botox can help.
• Have been proven to lift the brow. In time, your brow may start to droop or lower. With Botox Cosmetic treatments, you can lift your brow to make your face look less tired, thus giving you a more youthful appearance.

These are just a few of the many wonderful benefits of BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments that we can help you with at The AgeLess Center. We provide the most inexpensive BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments in Atlanta at just $175.00 per treatment.

How to get the most out of your Botox treatment

Unfortunately, few people want to discuss their treatments because they prefer to keep them secret. That way, their friends and family won’t discover they “had a little work done”. This practice leads to clients coming to their first treatment without a lot of information.

One of the most important things you need to realize when you schedule your Botox treatment is that the Ageless Center can’t do it all. Our specialists are top quality professionals, but the client has to do their part to achieve spectacular results.

We asked a few of our newer clients about the questions they wished they had answers to before they came to their first appointment, and they responded with:

• Can I do anything to reduce the risk of bruising? There are a few things you can avoid and supplements you can take to help alleviate swelling and bruising. For instance, you should skip going to the gym the same day as the treatment. It isn’t dangerous or bad for the Botox if you do go but it if you want to avoid bruising, you might want to play it safe. You should avoid using blood thinners like Aspirin, Aleve, and Motrin.
• Can I make my Botox treatment last longer? Maybe, it depends on the person. Some studies show evidence that moving muscles you just had treated will help the Botox to last longer, but these aren’t proven. For the best results consult our specialist to create a regimen that works best for your skin.
• Does flying in an airplane adversely affect the results of the treatment? This should have been under the myths section, but it just doesn’t come up as often as the other 5. People used to believe that you needed to lie down after treatment, or it would mess up the results. This has been proven false. You can do anything you need to do after treatment without altering the results in any way.
• Can I get a Botox treatment that looks like it is just my natural look? Sure, people do it all the time. The trick is to avoid overdoing it. Just use a little Botox and then come back if it wasn’t quite enough. You can always add more but if you use too much, you’re stuck with it until it wears off.
