Is Botox Addictive Once You Start Getting the Remarkable Anti-Aging Injections (and Other Botox Myths Busted)?

While Botox has been around for decades, it’s still at the top of the list when it comes to most popular cosmetic injection treatments that help people reclaim their youthful glow.

While you’ve heard a lot of good news about Botox, you’ve likely heard a lot of myths about it as well. One common misconception about Botox is that it is addictive. But is Botox addictive really? Let’s take a look at this and other myths about it.

Myth #1 Busted: Is Botox Addictive? Nope.

It is impossible to become physically addicted to Botox, no matter whether you’ve had one injection or twenty. Once you start getting injections, you may find your results hard to live without, but there is nothing in Botox that can ever cause it to be habit forming.

Myth #2 Busted: Is Botox Just for Women? Another Big NO!

Many men enjoy the rejuvenated look they get from Botox just as much as women do! In fact, in 2016 alone, over 450,000 men were treated with this sensational cosmetic injectable. That number getting Botox for men keeps on rising!

Myth #3 Busted: How Come You Get a Frozen Look With Botox? You Don’t (or at Least, You Shouldn’t)!

When Botox is properly administered by a skilled professional, your results will look natural. It is essential to choose licensed medical professionals to ensure you’re still able to make facial movements without looking frozen after Botox.
