Botox Myths: What You Really Need to Know (2)

Botox is one of the most popular aesthetic treatments in the world — but it’s also one of the most misunderstood. If you’ve been considering Botox in Bali, you’ve probably heard some myths that made you hesitate. Let’s set the record straight.

❌ Myth 6: Botox is Painful

Truth: Most patients describe Botox as a quick pinch, similar to a mosquito bite. The needles are very fine, and treatments are usually done within minutes. Many people are surprised at how comfortable it actually is.

❌ Myth 7: Starting Botox Young is a Bad Idea

Truth: Preventive Botox is becoming more popular. Starting small doses in your late 20s or early 30s can actually delay the formation of deep wrinkles, meaning you’ll need less treatment in the future.

❌ Myth 8: Once You Start Botox, You Can’t Stop

Truth: Not true at all. If you stop Botox, your muscles simply return to normal activity, and your wrinkles gradually come back as they would have naturally. You won’t “look worse” — you’ll just return to your baseline.

❌ Myth 9: Botox Fills Wrinkles

Truth: Botox doesn’t “fill” anything — it relaxes muscles that cause expression lines. Fillers are used to restore lost volume. A natural result often comes from combining both when appropriate, but they work in totally different ways.

❌ Myth 10: Botox Works Immediately

Truth: Botox takes time to show results. Most people notice a difference after 3–5 days, with full results around 10–14 days. This makes it perfect for planning before special events, but not a same-day fix.
