Common Misconceptions about Botox
-
Botox is unsafe
Botox has been approved by the FDA as safe to use when treatments are administered by a trained medical professional like Dr. Tamas.
The most common side effects of Botox injections are tenderness at the injection site, bruising, and mild redness.
-
Botox is painful
Some injections can be hurt, but not all should be treated equally. Many patients only feel a small pinch with Botox. Botox injections use very small needles. If you have any concerns about your comfort during a treatment, Dr. T can numb the area with topical anesthetic gel or even a simple cold pack.
-
Botox will freeze your face
Botox works to gently relax specific muscles, but treatments aren’t one-size-fits-all. They’re administered in units by our experienced, trained doctor who knows how many are needed for your unique situation.
Instead of looking frozen, your appearance looks softer, more relaxed.
