Botox Your Way To A Refreshed Face

By Marlene Ataine


Botox Cosmetic has for years retained the title as the most commonly performed "non-surgical" cosmetic procedure in the United States, based on its ease of use and consistently good cosmetic results. Frown lines, smile lines and wrinkles are no match when effectively targeted by a competent surgeon with proper Botox training and experience. These lines and wrinkles become less pronounced with a Botox injection. The muscles underneath the skin become relaxed and this reduces the display of wrinkles. Contrary to any myths floating out there, Botox does not travel anywhere else in the body. It is localized to the area of the injection. Again, Botox treatments are non-invasive and non-permanent. A treatment will wear off within 3 to 6 months.

For over twenty years, Botox has been used safely for both cosmetic and medical purposes. Botox has been purified under very strict controlled conditions. It is a bacterium called clostridium botulinum.

Not surprisingly in these super competitive times we live in, men are now turning to the power of Botox to look younger. Looking younger or the desire to look younger is no longer just the domain of women. The market for men is booming. Some industry reports have estimated that in the past six years alone, the number of men getting Botox injections has increase by 300 percent. That puts the actual numbers about a half a million men. A segment of about ten percent of all Botox injections.

The reasons for men flocking to this product are varied but can generally be broken down into several underlying categories. It's not surprising that woman, including girlfriends, family members, and wives are introducing the benefits of looking younger to their male counterparts. Men are starting to appreciate that looking younger and feeling more refreshed has an impact on their lives.

Are there any people who should not receive Botox?

If you are pregnant or nursing, you should not be getting a Botox injection. As well, if you have any neuromuscular diseases, you should certainly avoid taking Botox. If you have any concerns or worries about whether you fit into one of these groups, consult with your physician. Patients who are allergic to human albumin, which is different than an egg allergy, should not use Botox. It has not been tested during pregnancy or nursing and that is the reason for the recommendation to avoid Botox in these situations.

Your specialist may numb the injection area slightly, but it is certainly not a necessity. The needle used for Botox injections is very fine and you should barely feel it. The Botox procedure is very quick, usually around ten minutes in total, and it is virtually painless. In other words, there should be no down time required at all.

BOTOX treatments are generally quite affordable, which is one of the main reasons for the procedure's international popularity. A Botox treatment will usually range between $300 and $400. Every four to six months, patients will have to return to have another procedure in order to maintain their results.
