Myth Busters | Renew Aesthetics & Wellbeing – Expert-led, safe injectable treatments in Bath

The most common myths — explained clearly

If you’re unsure what’s true, you’re not alone. Here are straight answers to the questions I’m asked most.

Myth: Botox freezes your face

Fact: When dosed and placed correctly, anti-wrinkle treatment softens lines while keeping natural expression. “Frozen” results usually come from over-treatment.

Many people use the word Botox when talking about anti-wrinkle injections. If you’d like a clear, clinician-led explanation of what the term usually means, you can read our guide here: Is Botox the same as anti-wrinkle injections?

Myth: Fillers always look obvious

Fact: Subtle volumising can refresh without changing your features. The goal is balance and proportion — not a different face.

Myth: It’s unsafe unless a doctor does it

Fact: Safety comes from training, assessment and scope of practice. I’m an Advanced Clinical Practitioner and Independent Prescriber with long-standing NHS experience and specific training in injectables.

Myth: Downtime is guaranteed

Fact: Most people return to normal activity the same day. You’ll get personalised aftercare to minimise swelling and bruising.

Myth: It’s addictive

Fact: Results wear off gradually. You choose whether and when to repeat treatment. My approach is conservative and evidence-based.

Myth: One size fits all

Fact: Every face and medical history is different. Your plan is tailored in consultation — sometimes the best plan is to do nothing.
