Real, natural-looking results — when Botox® is done right, you still look like you, just refreshed.
When it comes to cosmetic injectables, few treatments spark as much curiosity (and confusion) as Botox®. From wrinkle-smoothing miracles to frozen faces, the internet is full of information — but not all of it is accurate. At Goulart Salon & Medi Spa, we’re here to separate fact from fiction.
Whether you're curious, considering your first treatment, or just love a good beauty myth debunked, keep reading for the most common Botox® myths and the truths you should know.
💬 Myth #1: Botox® will freeze your face.
✅ Truth: When done correctly by a trained professional, Botox® softens expression lines — it doesn’t erase your personality. Our skilled injector uses precise techniques to maintain natural movement while relaxing overactive muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles.
💬 Myth #2: Botox® is only for older people.
✅ Truth: Botox® isn’t just for deep-set wrinkles. Many clients in their 20s and 30s use Botox® as a preventative treatment to delay the formation of lines. It’s not about age — it’s about your personal goals and skin’s needs.
💬 Myth #3: Botox® is toxic or dangerous.
✅ Truth: While Botox® is a purified form of botulinum toxin, it has been FDA- and Health Canada-approved for cosmetic use for decades. It’s one of the most studied and safely administered cosmetic treatments in the world — when performed by a qualified provider.
💬 Myth #4: Results are immediate.
✅ Truth: Botox® isn’t instant. It takes about 3–7 days to start noticing results, with full effect visible around the 2-week mark. Results typically last around 3 months, with some clients noticing longer-lasting effects after repeated treatments.
💬 Myth #5: Once you start, you can’t stop.
✅ Truth: Botox® is not addictive. If you choose to stop treatment, your skin will gradually return to its natural state — lines may slowly reappear, but won’t worsen beyond where they would’ve been without treatment.
💬 Myth #6: It’s only for the forehead and crow’s feet.
✅ Truth: Botox® is most commonly used for these areas, but it can also be used to treat bunny lines (on the nose), lip lines, chin dimpling, neck bands, and even jaw tension. Every face is unique — and so is every treatment plan.
