When it comes to achieving smooth, youthful skin, Botox is one of the most talked-about treatments — and also one of the most misunderstood. To help clear up the confusion, Cosmetic Nurse Injector Katrina at Third Eye Beauty Lounge in Tempe, AZ, is here to set the record straight. Below, she breaks down the top Botox myths and facts every client should know before booking their treatment.
Myth #1: Botox Will Make You Look Frozen
Fact: When administered correctly by an experienced injector like Nurse Katrina, Botox simply relaxes targeted muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles — it doesn’t erase your expressions. The goal is to enhance your natural beauty, not take away your ability to smile or frown. At Third Eye Beauty Lounge, Katrina uses precise micro-dosing to deliver natural-looking results that move with your face.
Myth #2: Botox Is Only for Older Women
Fact: Preventative Botox is becoming increasingly popular for clients in their 20s and 30s. By softening early lines before they deepen, younger clients can maintain smoother skin longer. Katrina often explains that Botox isn’t about age — it’s about prevention and confidence.
Myth #3: Once You Start, You Can’t Stop
Fact: This is one of the most common misconceptions. Botox gradually wears off after about three to four months, and your muscles simply return to their natural movement. If you choose not to continue treatments, your face will not worsen — you’ll just go back to how you looked before your injections.
Myth #4: Botox Is Painful
Fact: Most clients are surprised by how quick and comfortable Botox injections are. The needles are extremely fine, and Katrina’s gentle technique makes the process virtually painless. Treatments take less than 15 minutes, and there’s no downtime — perfect for a quick lunchtime refresh.
Myth #5: Botox and Fillers Are the Same Thing
Fact: While both can enhance your appearance, they work differently. Botox relaxes muscles to prevent wrinkles, while fillers restore volume and contour the face. At Third Eye Beauty Lounge, Katrina customizes every treatment plan based on your individual goals, often combining both for the most balanced, youthful results.
