At Peace Love Tox, we hear a lot of rumors. Botox will make you look stiff. It’s only for people over 50. If you stop, your face will collapse. None of that’s true. The reality? Botox—and other neuromodulators like Xeomin, Dysport, and Daxxify—can be used in subtle, smart ways to help you look rested, relaxed, and confident. Not frozen. Not overdone. Just…refreshed. Let’s clear the air on the biggest myths and talk about how these treatments actually work.
Myth #1: Botox Will Freeze Your Face
This one won’t go away, but it’s flat-out false. Botox doesn’t freeze your face—it relaxes the muscle activity that causes wrinkles from repeated movement. Think forehead lines, crow’s feet, and that deep “11” between your brows. When done correctly, you’ll still look like you. Just smoother.
We’re all about balance here at Peace Love Tox. Our injectors are trained to use precise, strategic doses so you still have natural expression and movement. It’s not about erasing personality. It’s about softening the lines that make you look tired or tense.
Myth #2: Botox Is Only for People in Their 40s and Up
Actually, more and more people in their 20s and 30s are coming in to prevent those deep-set lines before they form. It’s called preventative Botox. Tiny doses in key areas—like the forehead or around the eyes—can slow the development of static wrinkles. The kind that stick around even when you’re not making a face.
In your 20s, this might look like a subtle brow lift, a lip flip to give the illusion of fuller lips, or smoothing out those little “bunny lines” on the sides of your nose. Pair it with medical-grade skincare and you’re setting yourself up for long-term skin health.
Myth #3: All Injectables Are the Same
Definitely not. Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, and Daxxify are neuromodulators. They relax muscles to reduce movement-based wrinkles. Fillers, on the other hand, restore volume, contour, and structure.
We use a variety of fillers depending on the area and the result you want:
- Juvéderm, Restylane, and RHA Collection for lips, cheeks, and undereyes
- Radiesse and Hyperdilute Radiesse for skin smoothing and collagen stimulation
- Sculptra to gradually build volume and improve skin quality over time
They’re often used together to create natural, balanced results. Think softening fine lines with Botox, then restoring volume in the cheeks or jawline with filler.
Myth #4: Botox Is Unsafe
This one comes from fear, not fact. Botox has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use for over two decades and is used safely every day around the world. Like anything medical, results depend on the skill of the person behind the syringe.
We prioritize safety, comfort, and results. You’re in good hands here. We’ll walk you through every step, explain what’s happening, and make sure you’re fully comfortable with your treatment plan.
Myth #5: If You Stop Botox, Your Wrinkles Will Get Worse
Nope. If you decide to take a break, your muscles will simply return to their normal movement patterns, and lines will gradually come back to how they were before you started. That’s it.
What actually happens for most clients is this: regular Botox use trains your muscles to relax. So over time, you may actually need less product or less frequent touch-ups to maintain results.
Real Talk: What Botox Can Actually Do
Let’s set the record straight with what Botox (and its neuromodulator cousins) can do when it’s used properly:
- Soften lines on the forehead, around the eyes, and between the brows
- Create a subtle brow lift
- Refine a gummy smile or correct downturned mouth corners
- Reduce neck bands and soften neck wrinkles
- Sculpt and slim the jawline (great for TMJ or clenching)
- Enhance the lips with a natural-looking flip

One Size Doesn’t Fit All
We’re not just tossing Botox into the same three spots for everyone. Every face is different. Some people want subtle. Others want dramatic. Some want to soften just one area. Others are ready for a full-face refresh.
At Peace Love Tox, we take the time to understand your goals and build a plan that works for you. That might include Botox or Daxxify for wrinkles, cheek filler for volume, or even PRP for hair restoration or skin glow. We also offer treatments like weight loss support, microneedling, chemical peels, and skin-tightening threads.
