The Truth About Botox

Is Botox really bad for you?

You've heard all the negative talk about Botox:

"Botox is toxic for your skin."

"It's so unnatural."

"Don't screw up your face."

"You don't need that filler."

But, have you heard the truth in all the noise? There are many misconceptions about Botox treatment, and it often gets a bad rep because it is regarded as unsafe, unnatural, and unnecessary. Keep reading on as we expose each of these three myths.

#1: Botox is Unsafe

The idea that Botox is unsafe is centered around its main ingredient: botulinum. In high percentages, botulinum is considered a toxin and can be deadly. In controlled dosages, it can safely and effectively produce the muscle paralysis effects that Botox is known for. However, if you are considering Botox injections, it is very important to visit an experienced professional so that the dosage is spread evenly and is injected into the correct muscle.

#2: Botox is Unnatural

Because Botox is a bacteria, it is quite natural. Botulinum, although a toxin, is made by naturally occurring bacteria, many found in the body. In incorrect dosages, Botox may look unnatural. However, improper administration is responsible for unnatural-looking effects, while the product is not.

#3 Botox is Unnecessary

It may seem that Botox is a superficial, unnecessary solution for anti-aging. However, this is not its only use. Its paralysis properties can be used to help treat neck spasms, chin soreness, migraines, and more chronic pains. Some people find that life is easier to manage with Botox.

Build Muscle with EmSculpt

You can now build muscle in a revolutionary, non-invasive procedure called EmSculpt ! In as little as four sessions you can get the body that you desire. This procedure can be used to sculpt areas of your body, such as the buttocks, abdominal and arm muscles to help you have the muscle build that you've always wanted! EmSculpt is non-invasive so without any surgery or opening wounds, it can help you become toned and sculpted. It works by creating muscle contractions that are stronger than normal contractions, creating a more intense reaction from the muscle tissue, leading to a deeper muscle build and highly visible sculpting !

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a skin treatment that uses a specialized blade — similar to a surgical scalpel called a dermatome — to remove dead skin and hairs. People may also refer to it as microplaning or blading. When you have it done by a certified professional aesthetician, experts generally consider it safe. However, a person should not try to do dermaplaning on themselves or others at home. The basic concept of dermaplaning is the same as shaving, but in place of a razor, it uses a scalpel-type blade to remove skin cells, hair, and other debris that may be present on the surface of the skin. The continuous exposure of the top layer of skin to UV rays, environmental toxins, and irritants means that it may begin to appear dull. Dermaplaning removes the top layer of skin to reveal newer skin cells that may make a person’s skin appear smoother and glowing. An esthetician, plastic surgeon, or dermatologist can perform skin resurfacing procedures such as dermaplaning. A person should choose a...
