Clearing Up Botox Myths with Dr. Schwarzburg
Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in New York City—but myths and misconceptions continue to cause confusion. Dr. Schwarzburg, the lead cosmetic physician at Skinly Aesthetics, is here to clarify these myths and give you clear, factual insights. With his extensive expertise in Botox injections, Dr. Schwarzburg ensures you have accurate information to make informed decisions about your cosmetic goals.
Myth #1: Botox is Toxic and Dangerous
Fact: Botox is FDA-approved and exceptionally safe when injected by qualified professionals like Dr. Schwarzburg. It’s derived from purified botulinum toxin and administered in very small, controlled doses. Serious side effects are extremely rare, making Botox safe for cosmetic and medical use.
Myth #2: Botox Will Freeze Your Face
Fact: The “frozen” look only results from inexperienced injectors using excessive amounts of Botox. Dr. Schwarzburg strategically places Botox injections to relax facial muscles gently while preserving natural expressions. Results look subtle and natural, never stiff or unnatural.
Myth #3: Botox is Only for Older People
Fact: Botox is beneficial for adults of all ages. Younger patients often use it as a preventative measure, starting treatments in their late 20s or early 30s to delay wrinkle formation. Older patients use Botox to reduce existing wrinkles, maintaining a refreshed, youthful look.
Myth #4: Botox Injections are Painful with Significant Downtime
Fact: Botox treatments typically cause minimal discomfort, often described as a quick pinch. Sessions take only about 10 minutes, and most patients return immediately to daily activities. Downtime is virtually non-existent, making Botox ideal for busy New Yorkers.
Myth #5: Botox is Addictive
Fact: Botox does not cause physical dependency or addiction. Patients often return simply because they’re satisfied with their refreshed appearance. Stopping Botox treatments at any point has no negative physical effects or withdrawal symptoms.
Myth #6: Stopping Botox Makes Wrinkles Worse
Fact: When Botox wears off, wrinkles gradually return to their original appearance, not worse. Botox temporarily relaxes muscles; it does not cause permanent changes. You won’t see deeper wrinkles than before starting treatments.
Myth #7: Botox is Only for Women
Fact: Botox popularity among men (“Brotox”) continues to rise sharply. Men choose Botox to soften wrinkles, look refreshed, and maintain a competitive edge professionally and socially. Dr. Schwarzburg tailors Botox treatments specifically for male facial structures and concerns.
Myth #8: Botox is Too Expensive
Fact: Botox is affordable and widely accessible. Costs typically range between $200–$600 per session, depending on treatment areas. Many people find Botox comparable to other routine skincare expenses and see it as an investment in their appearance and confidence.
Myth #9: Botox Results are Permanent
Fact: Botox effects last approximately 3–4 months. Muscle movement and wrinkles gradually return as Botox wears off naturally. Regular treatments are required to maintain results; otherwise, your appearance returns to your original baseline without permanent changes.
Myth #10: Botox and Fillers Do the Same Thing
Fact: Botox relaxes muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles (lines caused by facial movements). Dermal fillers add volume to static lines (visible at rest). Botox and fillers complement each other, but each targets different cosmetic concerns and areas of the face.
