Botox–The Best Cure for Acne?

BEAUTY BLABBER | PLASTIC SURGERY

I’m not the biggest fan of Botox, personally I’ve seen some really young girls look extremely old when they used it! It just gives them that look, their brows raise, their skin becomes shiny–there’s nothing beautiful about it! I’ve always believed waiting till you really need it to not only remove wrinkles but also lift your brows!

I would never really consider getting it now UNTIL I read that Botox has been used to rid Acne! It’s not a popular study, but it actually makes sense! I know so many people who use Botox to help with sweating issues and I have seen their success! The way Botox helps Acne is similar to the way it helps with sweating–by closing the sweat glands producing oils. So as much as I am not an advocate of Botox, the results sound promising, especially since such low dosages have been recorded! So, maybe for very severe acne, this could be the answer and a great way to avoid more invasive things such as Acutane, which have caused some of my friends slight blindness in their eyes and also depression.

Keep in mind, Botox is not permanent, it would need to be redone every 4-6 months while Acutane you take for 3-9 months (depending on your condition) and you may need to retake in case of more outbreaks later on down the line. What do you guys think, does it seem too good to be true, or is this the acne cure we’ve been looking for?

    i’m willing to try anything that helps get rid of acne…i suffered a lot when i was a teen, my skin is better now but i still get one or two from time to time…so yes with no doubt i’m willing to try it

  3. Botox for acne…sounds rather promising since it is in such low doses. Accutane is nightmare with all its side effects.
    I think it isn’t a permanent answer to getting rid of acne but it could help control symptoms while buying time to fix root issues such as hormonal imbalances and unhealthy lifestyles.

    Hey huda i am in love with your blog and i know thats not the right picture to ask this question below so excuse …. I wanted to ask if the luscious curl cream by frederic fekkai has a more chemical or natural base because the relashionship between my hair and my scalp isnt that good so im afraid to buy new things could this product support my hairfall or would it be a good investation also in my situation ? Thanks

    Worth trying since it is only a temporay thing and may just be the answer so many woman are looking for help with their acne. However, I like how you tend to use the more natural cure for things so I will try to avoid botox in my lifetime. Let us know if you try it out.

  8. I like your more natural beauty options that have been on your blog however I say if this works than it could be a huge relief for people who suffer from acne. I am not a fan of botox either but If it can help someone’s confidence with their skin then lets do it! Keep us updated!

  9. Well, Botox can actually help you reduce sweating, But, I hear there is this new treatment called the MiraDry for sweating… is it better than Botox?

      To be honest, I’ve never heard of it! But I do know Botox is amazing for sweating! Some of my very close friends swear by it!
