At Charmed Medispa in Delaware, we often hear concerns and questions about Botox and fillers. While these treatments are some of the most popular and effective options for non-surgical facial rejuvenation, myths surrounding them can sometimes create unnecessary hesitation. Let’s set the record straight by debunking five common myths about Botox and fillers!
Myth 1: Botox and Fillers Make You Look “Frozen” or “Overdone”
The Truth:
When done by skilled injector like Loraine Savarese, RN, Botox and fillers enhance your natural beauty without making you look unnatural. Botox softens dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, like crow’s feet or frown lines, while fillers restore lost volume or contour areas like the cheeks, lips, and jawline. We get so many concerns about patients avoiding fillers or Botox because they don’t want to look “fake” and our motto is to keep people guessing your age but not your choices. We strive for subtle enhancements not total transformations (unless of course you want that).
At Charmed Medispa, we pride ourselves on customizing treatments to match each client’s aesthetic goals, ensuring balanced and natural results.
Myth 2: Botox and Fillers Are Painful
The Truth:
Most patients describe the sensation as mild and tolerable, akin to a tiny pinch. Our provider uses a strong, medical grade numbing cream and ice to minimize discomfort during filler treatments. Botox injections are quick and use a very fine needle, making the process virtually pain-free. You can always get numbed for Botox as well if you want to. In addition, fillers have lidocaine inside them so that provides extra comfort.
The procedure is so fast and easy that many patients schedule their treatments during a lunch break!
Myth 3: Botox and Fillers Are Only for Women
The Truth:
Men are increasingly turning to Botox (often called “Brotox”) and fillers to soften wrinkles, enhance jawlines, and achieve a refreshed appearance. These treatments are tailored to each individual’s facial structure and desired outcomes, making them popular among both men and women.
At Charmed Medispa, we offer services specifically designed to cater to men’s unique aesthetic needs.
Myth 4: Fillers and Botox Are Permanent
The Truth:
Both Botox and fillers are temporary treatments, which is part of their appeal! Botox typically lasts 3–4 months, while most fillers last 6–18 months, depending on the product and area treated. This allows you to tweak and adjust your treatments over time as your needs evolve. In addition, if needed, fillers are reversible and can be dissolved. That is a nice security blanket feeling in case you are concerned about “what if I don’t like it?”.
For those seeking skin tightening, we offer Sculptra which stimulate collagen production for more lasting results especially in the outer portions of the face.
Myth 5: You Should Wait Until Wrinkles Are Deep or Skin Sags Before Starting
The Truth:
Starting treatments early can be a smart way to prevent deeper wrinkles from forming and to maintain youthful contours. Preventative Botox, for example, works by relaxing muscles before lines become etched into the skin.
Similarly, early use of fillers can address subtle volume loss, delaying the need for more invasive procedures down the road.
