When people hear the word Botox, the image that often comes to mind is of frozen faces, raised eyebrows that never move, and the dreaded “plastic” look.
While these clichés make for good reality TV drama, they don’t reflect the truth about modern aesthetic medicine, or what happens in the skilled hands of an expert.
Let’s separate fact from fiction and address some of the biggest myths about Botox, with insights from one of the most experienced aesthetic doctors in the field, Dr. Villar, a highly trained injector with years of expertise in MD Codes™.
Truth: When administered properly, Botox doesn’t erase your expressions, it enhances them.
The “frozen” look comes from improper technique or over-injection. Dr. Villar, who has extensive experience working with MD Codes™, uses a highly strategic and personalized approach. This system allows him to assess facial dynamics and tailor each treatment so that results are subtle, balanced, and natural.
You’ll still smile, frown, and raise your eyebrows, just with fewer lines getting in the way.
Truth: Botox has a wide range of medical and aesthetic benefits.
While it’s well-known for smoothing out frown lines and crow’s feet, Botox can also help with jaw slimming, excessive sweating, teeth grinding (bruxism), and even migraines. Dr. Villar often combines Botox with dermal fillers, using the MD Codes™ methodology, to address volume loss and enhance facial structure holistically.
Truth: Botox is for anyone who wants to look refreshed and feel confident.
More and more men are seeking Botox to maintain a youthful, rested appearance. Dr. Villar customizes his approach depending on the unique anatomy and aesthetic goals of each patient, regardless of gender.
Truth: Botox takes time to work, usually 3 to 7 days.
While dermal fillers offer immediate volume, Botox works by relaxing muscles gradually. The full effect typically settles in within two weeks.
That’s why Dr. Villar always schedules a follow-up to ensure that results are progressing as expected and to make any minor adjustments if needed.
Botox, when done well, should be invisible in the best way. The key isn’t just the product, it’s the practitioner.
Dr. Villar’s reputation as a skilled and artistic injector is grounded in years of experience, deep anatomical knowledge, and advanced training in MD Codes™
a revolutionary system developed by Dr. Mauricio de Maio to bring structure and strategy to facial rejuvenation.
This methodology allows Dr. Villar to not only soften wrinkles but also improve overall facial harmony, using Botox and fillers in a way that respects your unique facial expressions and natural beauty.
Botox myths are common, but so are beautiful, natural-looking results when you’re treated by the right hands.
With Dr. Villar’s expert application of MD Codes™, you can feel confident knowing that your face will reflect you, only fresher, smoother, and more vibrant.
