Botox Is NOT Anti-Aging? Here's What It Really Does…

In this episode, Dr. Kristen breaks down the common misconception that Botox is an anti-aging treatment. Spoiler: it’s not. Botox is preventative, not restorative. You'll learn how Botox works, what types of lines it treats (dynamic vs static), and when it's the right time to start. Plus, she covers who shouldn’t get Botox, the truth behind “Botox in a bottle” trends, and what treatments actually are anti-aging—like microneedling, lasers, and Sculptra.
