Even with both women's and men's widespread use of Botox/Dysport and Fillers, some misconceptions may prevent some from using these treatments to enhance their beauty regime.
So, let's debunk them today!
The effects are permanent.
Botox and Fillers are medications, and your body metabolizes them, so NO, they are not permanent. Depending on where you get the injections, they can last anywhere from six weeks to a year.
For example, Botox to reduce frown lines, fine lines and wrinkles could last from four to six months, and Fillers can last from six months to much longer before being gradually absorbed by the body. Fillers or Dermal Fillers fill in wrinkles, add volume to lips, slightly lift sagging skin, and fill in contour irregularities. Dysport is great to use as a preventative and more specialized for treating - frown lines and vertical lines that appear between your eyebrows.
There is a risk factor involved.
With any medical or cosmetic procedure, there may be a risk. However, to reduce or eliminate any risks -
- Go to a trained and licensed professional injector
- If you a comfortable with the injector, stay with them for any additional treatments
- Book a consultation and be informed of the safety measures for you before the treatment. The more experience your injector has, the better results the procedure will have and being educated and informed will improve the entire experience and reduce any fears you may have.
Botox is a safe procedure unless you are breastfeeding or have a neurological disease, but again, discuss it with a professional so you are informed.
