Thinking about trying injectables but feeling unsure because of something you heard or read? You’re not alone! Misinformation and myths often make their way into the world of aesthetic treatments, leaving many people hesitant or nervous to take the first step.At The Face Place, we believe in honest, expert guidance so you can make informed choices with confidence. Here are 10 of the most common myths about injectables—debunked!
Myth 1: “Injectables will make me look frozen.”
Truth:
Anti-wrinkle injections relax specific muscles to soften lines, not eliminate movement. With an experienced injector, you’ll still look like you—just more refreshed.
Myth 2: “Fillers will make my face look fake or puffy.”
Truth:
The days of overfilled cheeks and exaggerated features are long gone. Modern filler techniques are all about natural-looking results that restore balance and volume without drawing attention. Subtlety is key, and every face is treated individually.
Myth 3: “Once you start, you can’t stop.”
Truth:
Injectables are not addictive, nor do they create a dependency. If you decide to stop, your face will simply return to its natural aging process. Many clients choose to continue because they love how they look, not because they have to.
Myth 4: “Injectables are only for people over 40.”
Truth:
Preventative and subtle aesthetic enhancements are common among people in their 20s and 30s. Whether it’s softening early lines or enhancing lips, chin, or jawline, injectables can support beauty goals at many stages of life.
Myth 5: “All injectors are the same.”
Truth:
The experience and training of your injector make a huge difference in both safety and outcome. Always choose a medically qualified, skilled professional.
Myth 6: “Botox and fillers are the same thing.”
Truth:
They’re actually quite different! Anti-wrinkle injections like Botox relax muscle activity to reduce expression lines. Dermal fillers add volume and structure to areas such as cheeks, lips, and jawline. We often use them together for balanced, natural results.
Myth 7: “Injectables are unsafe or toxic.”
Truth:
Both anti-wrinkle and dermal filler treatments have a strong safety profile when performed by qualified professionals. Botulinum toxin has been used in medicine for decades and is FDA-approved for aesthetic use in small, controlled doses.
Myth 8: “I’ll see results right away.”
Truth:
While fillers offer near-instant volume, anti-wrinkle injections typically take 3 to 14 days to show full results. We always explain what to expect and offer follow-up appointments to ensure you’re happy with the outcome.
Myth 9: “I don’t need a consultation—I’ll just ask for what I want.”
Truth:
A proper consultation is essential for safety, satisfaction, and natural results. Every face is unique, and what works for one person might not be right for another. We take the time to assess your features, listen to your goals, and create a custom plan that suits you.
Myth 10: “People will know I’ve had something done.”
Truth:
The best aesthetic work goes unnoticed. Our goal is always to enhance your features—not change them. Friends may comment on how well-rested or radiant you look, but they likely won’t be able to pinpoint why—and that’s the beauty of subtle, skilled treatment.
