Botox and fillers often raise questions. And that is not surprising: a lot is said about them, but not everything is true. From persistent myths to half-truths: there is still a lot of confusion about what injectables really do. At Aepril Clinics, we believe in clear, honest information. In this blog, we discuss five common misconceptions, so you can make your choices with confidence.
Misconception 1:
“Botox and fillers are the same thing”
Although the terms are often mentioned in the same breath, they are two completely different treatments. Botox relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles. Think frown lines or crow’s feet. Fillers, on the other hand, add volume and soften lines. For example, they are used for fuller lips, filling the nasolabial fold or accentuating cheekbones.
Both treatments can give a fresh look, but the effect, composition and application are fundamentally different. So always get good advice on what suits your face and needs.
Misconception 2:
“You always see it when someone has botox or fillers.”
Many people fear that treatment will be immediately visible. A tight forehead, puffy lips or an unnaturally tight jawline. That fear is understandable, but not justified when you are treated by an expert doctor with an eye for subtlety.
Proper results are precisely not visible as “treatment,” but simply leave you looking fresher, more rested or softer. At Aepril Clinics, we believe in natural rejuvenation, always keeping your unique look as the starting point.
Misunderstanding 3:
“Botox is dangerous or toxic”
The word “toxin” scares some people. Yet botulinum toxin has been used safely in the medical field for decades, for example for muscle spasms, migraines or excessive sweating. The amount used for cosmetic purposes is very small and carefully dosed by a physician.
At a professional clinic with medically trained practitioners, the risk of complications is minimal. What’s important is that you choose a safe environment, A-brands and a doctor who knows what he or she is doing.
Misunderstanding 4:
“Fillers make your face stiff and unnatural”
A common concern is that fillers make the face look “bloated” or artificial. That perception is often created by over-treatment or faulty techniques. But in experienced hands, fillers are actually a subtle tool to restore volume and refine contours.
A properly placed filler follows the natural shapes of your face. The result enhances what is already there without being noticeable. At Aepril Clinics, we work with careful dosages and an eye for harmony. Less is often more beautiful.
Misunderstanding 5:
“Once you start, you have to keep treating.”
An injectables treatment is not a contract. You’re not stuck with anything. Botox and fillers have a temporary effect and fade away gradually. You decide if, and when, you want a follow-up treatment. Some clients leave it at one time, others choose a maintenance plan that suits their needs and lifestyle.
At Aepril Clinics, we think it’s important that you stay in control. We give honest advice, but you decide. Always.
