In today’s episode, Anastasia and I are diving into a topic that’s on everyone’s lips—Botox. It’s become a standard in many beauty routines, but the truth is, Botox isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. While it can smooth out wrinkles, repeated use can actually change the way your face moves and functions, leading to long-term issues like muscle atrophy and loss of natural expression.
We’re not here to scare you, but to arm you with the knowledge you need to make informed, empowered decisions about your skin. We’re breaking down 7 key facts about Botox you NEED to know, including why overuse could mess with your facial muscles, and why it’s not the “preventative” miracle some people think it is.
Botox is a tool—use it wisely, and with the right approach. Tune in for a smarter, more sustainable approach to aging. This one’s for anyone who’s had Botox, is thinking about it, or just wants to understand how it works.
