BOTOX – Myth Vs Fact
We separate the myth from the fact while exploring the truth about Botox, its use, and the potential risks.
As we grow older our skin loses its natural vitality. Wrinkles are a natural process of ageing and something that everyone experiences. While wrinkles have got nothing to do with how young we feel at heart, it certainly reflects in our appearance.
The world of beauty and skin care has immensely advanced over the years and today there are several treatments and products available in the market that can diminish and also remove wrinkles. One such revolutionary treatment is Botox. Botox is a cosmetic treatment to get rid of wrinkles. It is a drug made from a neurotoxin and has become a highly popular form of cosmetic treatment. There are several myths and misunderstood notions regarding Botox, and its time to clear them all!
Myths about Botox
Myth: Botox only works after fine lines start to appear!
Fact: Botox is not just a treatment for wrinkles and fine lines but also works as a preventive measure to reduce the chances of wrinkles and fine lines appearing at all. It’s natural that wrinkles will appear and we also know the common places for them, so why not get ahead and prevent them before!
Myth: Putting a stop to Botox results in worse wrinkles!
Fact: Botox has no control over how light or heavy your natural wrinkles will be. While it removes existing wrinkles, if you stop the use your skin will regain the natural wrinkles over time- not worse!
Myth: Start Young and you will never face wrinkles problem!
Fact: There is a certain age you need to acquire before you can start using Botox. Allow your skin to mature completely and your muscles to form completely. 20’s is too young to be using Botox as the skin is still maturing. Always consult a specialist to know if it’s the right time for you.
Myth: Botox is only for cosmetic use!
Fact: While the most commonly known use of Botox is for cosmetic treatments, it is also used to treat several medical conditions. It is commonly used to treat excessive sweating, migraine and sometimes even for depression.
Myth: Botox is for women!
Fact: Botox is for both men and women! It’s for anyone who needs it and feels the need to remove wrinkles. It has got absolutely nothing to do with gender.
It is always best to make decisions based on facts. Whether or not you are planning a Botox treatment, it’s better to clear away the myths and doubts.

Happy Customers 
Just completed my sixth session at Vivo Clinic with Rebecca. Fantastic results with lemon bottle and ultrasound on double chin. Definitely recommended. I had a fabulous HIFU Facial treatment with Roseanne today my skin already looks amazing. Roseanne made me feel very much at ease and explained how the treatment works and what it involved, she is excellent and obviously has a lot of experience making this treatment such a great experience. She is a very knowledgeable therapist. Oh wow what a fabulous treatment I had with Roseanne today. Although the Hifu facial is a little uncomfortable, Roseanne was excellent, explaining the whole process. She was extremely knowledgeable and put me at ease. I can see the results already. I’ll definitely be back. I had my first treatment of aqualyx on my stomach area and found the treatment perfect. There was little to no pain and sapphire was really helpful when answering my questions and gave really good advice and service. I would definitely recommend this clinic for treatments. Thank you to Yolanda and Rosanne, plasma performed , I have had this done in other clinics, but the knowledge and respect I received from these two ladies , I cannot praise them highly enough, thank you girls Rebecca was lovely throughout my treatment…very good at her job! Thank you! This is my second time at Vivo and I am super happy with my treatments.
This time around I had the pleasure of having Diana as my therapist and she was amazing. She explained everything in a simple and detailed way, allowed me to feel part of my treatment, recommended additional treatments with no pressure, and made me feel really at home.
When you are getting these kind of treatments it is very personal and you need to feel comfortable with your therapist and feel they know what they are doing.
Well my treatments were done over 2 plus hours and Diana really showed her expertise in the business of beauty. Sharing some of her previous experience and making me feel even more at ease.
Vivo has great prices and amazing people. In a neat, clean and welcoming space.
Highly recommended.
Thanks for everything Diana, I’ll be back again soon :)
JB. Sapphire is a highly skilled and professional therapist with a warm and friendly demeanor. She possesses extensive knowledge and has a strong reputation for providing safe and reliable care. I've undergone several treatments with her, including a recent Morpheus8 procedure, and I can't praise her enough! So far I had 2 sessions with Sapphire. She is a wonderful consultant. Friendly and professional. Very knowledgeable in the work she does.Definitely I would recommend Sapphire. I have booked more treatments with her.
