Botox is definitely the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment today, which is considered to be executed as easily as big its fame is. Although in fact, doing Botox wrong is actually quite frequent. The most important thing before deciding to get a Botox treatment is to do some research for a qualified and experienced professional in order to avoid the most common Botox mistakes that we now list in this article.

Frozen Face

Frozen face is the biggest threat of every patient who determines to get Botox. Although, as you could read in our 5 Tips for Your first time with Botox article, you will not be able to frown until Botox wears off. It does not mean to have a frozen look, only the lack of ability to frown. The reason for that is Botox is not a filler, but a compound that smooths out wrinkles by relaxing the face muscles, hence reducing muscle tension.

Treating only the problem area

Patients often have problem only with a small, certain area of their face and sometimes do not understand why the surrounding area must be treated as well. If only the problem area gets injected, other parts of the face will not be affected. It means that the face loses its original expressions and the certain area will stay in a place, resulting facial movements turn unnatural. In this way, it will be obvious that the patient just had Botox.

Skipping massage at the end

It may sound surprising, but massages have an essential role in the results of a Botox treatment. As a final moulding step, massage is responsible for the evenness, distribution and reliability of the injected Botox. In addition, a pleasing, gentle massage can prevent some inconvenient aftereffects, like bruising.

Dangling skin areas

Depending on individual circumstances, injecting too much Botox into the skin can lead to dangling, droopy skin conditions. It is most common at the forehead, when the frontalis muscle gets too relaxed, causing a heavy feeling and the eyebrows to droop, hence resulting excess eyelids. Another common area is around the eyes, when the over injected orbicularis oculi muscle gets crow’s feet look puffier and more sagging than before.

Though Botox is a temporary treatment, living with poor results even for a few months is terrible. Unlike hyaluronic acid-based fillers, there is nothing that could turn back the outcome of Botox. For this reason, it is especially crucial to find the perfect injector. Write us to info@cocoonmedicalspa.com and book a consultation with our experts.
