Myth 1: “Cosmetic procedures are only for women.”
Fact: Many men are opting for treatments like Botox, fillers, hair restoration, and laser resurfacing. Self-care and grooming know no gender.
Myth 2: “Fillers will make me look fake.”
Fact: When done by trained experts using the right product, fillers enhance your natural beauty. The overdone look results from poor technique, not the treatment itself.
Myth 3: “Laser treatments thin the skin.”
Fact: Quality laser treatments actually stimulate collagen production, thickening and strengthening the skin over time when performed under professional supervision.
Myth 4: “Botox is toxic or unsafe.”
Fact: Botox is FDA-approved, and when used appropriately, it’s both safe and effective. It targets specific muscles to relax wrinkles without affecting the surrounding areas or expressions.
Myth 5: “Once you start, you can’t stop.”
Fact: Cosmetic treatments are optional. If you choose to stop, your skin simply continues its natural ageing process—it doesn’t worsen because of prior treatments.
Myth 6: “Skincare products can give the same results as procedures.”
Fact: While a good skincare routine is essential, topical products can’t replicate the deeper action of procedures like microneedling, lasers, or injectables. Clinical-grade treatments work at a cellular level that creams cannot reach.
