Why We Don’t Recommend Botox: The Long-Term Trade-Off No One Talks About

Botox might smooth your forehead lines in the short term, but let’s talk about what happens beneath the surface. Neuromodulators like Botox work by paralyzing facial muscles to reduce movement, and yes, that means fewer visible lines. But over time, those muscles weaken. And once you start, you have to keep going. Forever.

At Beauty Unfiltered, we believe in waking up the skin and muscles—not shutting them down. That’s why we offer alternatives like specialized facial massage and gua sha, which naturally lifts, tones, and strengthens facial muscles through lymphatic movement and tension release. Think of it like yoga for your face. Your provider will teach you how to do these at home so you can maximize your results.

With consistent practice, gua sha improves circulation, softens lines, and brings vitality back to your skin without freezing expression or creating dependence. It’s a long-term solution rooted in balance, not suppression.

Our Supreme Facelift Facial is for lifting and tightening, giving Botox-like effect without any injections. Here, we use V-Line gel, which is a Korean ampoule solution that masterfully combines the extraordinary potency of Colloidal Gold for an exceptionally powerful lifting and rejuvenating effect. Additionally, our Custom Beauty Unfiltered facial includes a plant-based peptide serum that is microneedled into the entire face and neck and works to increase collagen and elastin.

We’re not here to shame anyone’s choice, but if you're seeking a more holistic, empowering approach to aging beautifully—one that works with your body, not against it—we have you covered. Because real results shouldn’t come with long-term compromises.
