Botox relaxes muscles around your eyes, mouth, forehead, and jaw. This softens your wrinkles giving you a youthful look. In this article, we will discuss both the pros and cons of Botox. I hope this will help you in your decision-making whether you need a Botox or not.
Pros
- It prevents wrinkles by haltering facial muscle contractions.
- The results are not permanent, so you can choose to have your original face shape again.
- The results are immediate. In just two to seven days, you already have younger-looking skin.
- No downtime. In most cases, there are no after-procedure marks or swelling.
- Safer and cheaper compared to cosmetic surgeries.
- It is FDA-approved.
- Botox has minimal health risks. However, pregnant women are still not advised to do the procedure.
Cons
- Some adverse reactions of Botox are severe and uncontrollable.
- A medical professional is needed to do the procedure. Scammers are all around. You need to make sure that the one doing the injection is well-trained.
- You may not be able to frown, preventing you from having a proper facial expression.
- The results are not permanent. Every 3 to 6 months, you need to undergo the same treatment again if you want to maintain the result.
- You may experience a slight headache and ptosis or eyelid drooping.
- It can be painful because of the tiny needles being used in the procedure.
