It’s 2019: Are You Still Lying About Botox?

Some women and men openly discuss Botox and other cosmetic treatments, even sharing their procedures and results with thousands of friends and followers on social media.

However, there are other individuals that prefer not to reveal that they’ve undergone Botox and even deny it when asked.

So, are you still lying about Botox?

In this blog article, we discuss why people are inclined to lie about Botox and how you can avoid the uncomfortable situation all-together.

Here’s what you need to know and why you should be happy to show off your Botox.

What Is Botox?

Botox is a non-invasive anti-aging treatment, whose main ingredient is botulinum toxin type A.

When injected into targeted facial muscles, Botox blocks nerve signals, inhibits muscle contraction, and relaxes lines.

In doing so, the neurotoxin neutralizes overactive muscles and trains them away from making wrinkle-causing facial expressions.

Why Are People Still Lying About Botox?

Several aesthetic experts have identified a paradox in our society about age and appearance–we want to look youthful and great for our age, but don’t want to admit to a level of vanity that may be associated with Botox.

That being said, many individuals say that they lie about Botox to avoid judgement.

They worry that others will question why they sought injections to smooth their skin, rather than allowing the aging process to take its course.

How to Get the Benefits of Botox and Not Have to Lie About It

One of the best ways to look refreshed and radiant, without having to lie about it, is to seek an experienced and talented injector.

When Botox and other injectable are done well, they should produce extremely natural results, that help maintain a youthful appearance.

In fact, skillful application of Botox should be undetectable, to the extent that no one would even be inclined to ask if you’ve undergone the treatment.

If you are considering Botox, please contact our office today to schedule a consultation with one of our highly skilled and talented injectors.
