The "frozen" look comes from over-treatment, not Botox itself. Here's how to ensure natural results: 1) Choose an experienced injector who prioritizes natural outcomes. 2) Start conservative—you can always add more at your 2-week follow-up. 3) Communicate clearly: tell your injector you want to retain movement. 4) Avoid treating every area at once initially. 5) Look at your injector's before/afters—do their patients look natural? Modern Botox technique focuses on softening lines while preserving expression. Most people won't be able to tell you've had treatment; you'll just look refreshed.
