Look Young, Feel Better!

By Devon R. Monache


Botox, injected 5.6 million times last year, has become the Kleenex of the field - the brand name so familiar that people think it is the generic term. It's safety record, and high satisfaction rating for results have made Botox the leader in cosmetic procedures worldwide. Botox is classed as a non-invasive procedure. With no recovery time required, and no freezing, Botox has very few obstacles attached to a procedure.

The Facts Contradict the Myths

Even though Botox is so widely used, and with so many great results, there still exists a kind of a prejudice against the brand and those that seek out the procedure. Like many beauty treatments, it is sometimes associated with frivolity and given a bad and undeserved reputation. There will always be people who take cosmetic procedures to the extreme. One should not look at the extreme examples to gauge the excellent results that Botox can achieve in the right circumstances. But Botox in the hands of a competent and practiced physician, simply does not produce those bad effects. When administered carefully by an experienced practitioner there should be very little effect, if any, on the ability to produce natural facial expressions.

Frown Lines

The most common cosmetic use for Botox is the treatment of the frown lines between the eyebrows. The reason so many people have chosen to eliminate their frown lines with Botox is simple; reducing frown lines gives you a much younger appearance.

The reason Botox can make your frown lines disappear is that when you inject the frown muscle with an adequate dose of Botox Cosmetic, it stops moving. The frown lines disappear because the frown muscle can no longer contract and thus can no longer wrinkle up the overlying skin.

Eliminating frown lines with Botox is one of the most common of the cosmetic treatments. Since Botox was approved by the FDA in 2002, it's been estimated that 11.8 million treatments have been performed to treat frown lines. A 90% satisfaction result for people getting a Botox treatment is exceptional. It's not surprising that the good news continues to spread out in social media circles.

It is not a complex treatment process for frown lines. It involves the physician injecting Botox directly into the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows. Again, the needle is very small, so there is no need for freezing and there is no downtime. A procedure can take between 5 and 10 minutes.

Botox is incredibly safe. The preparation used by clinics is safe and the Botox itself is manufactured under very stringent conditions. Botox is no longer reserved only for the rich and famous. Though it is widely known that your favourite actor or actress has probably received a treatment, the same can be said of your local teacher or soccer coach.
