Botox Your Way To A Refreshed Face

By Marlene Ataine


It has a safety record that is outstanding. It is affordable to get treated. The results are non-permanent but last for some time. And the results turn back the clocks of time. This is the calling card of Botox. Frown lines, smile lines and wrinkles are no match when effectively targeted by a competent surgeon with proper Botox training and experience. By relaxing the underlying muscles, these lines become less deep. 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. It gradually wears off naturally over a 3-6 month period.

It's not surprising that Botox is so popular. With an exceptional safety record over the past twenty years, and a price point that is very comfortable and relatively cheap compared with alternatives. Botox is produced in a lab by a bacterium called clostridium botulinum and it has been purified under very strict controlled conditions.

It's not just for woman any longer. There is the need and desire among men to look younger. As a result, they are turning to Botox in record numbers. Looking younger or the desire to look younger is no longer just the domain of women. The market for men is booming. The numbers are quite impressive. Some industry reports have estimated that the numbers have tripled in the past six years. That puts the actual numbers about a half a million men. A segment of about ten percent of all Botox injections.

A lot of reasons are cited to explain the large growing segment of the market that is now looking for youth enhancing procedures. One main reason is that a lot of men are being introduced to it by their wives, who are more aware and sensitive to the impact of frown lines or those deep forehead lines that can make them look much older. 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. Regarding pregnancy or nursing, there are no tests. As such, the recommendation is that it should be avoided as a precaution.

You will not be administered an anesthetic for this procedure, but before your treatment, your specialist may numb the injection site slightly. Normally, there procedure is quite fast. Usually, it will take under ten minutes. And there is no recovery time required, so you can go back to work or off to another errand if desired.

The price point for your Botox treatment is quite reasonable. In fact, this is one of the main reasons for the popularity of the treatment. Depending on the nature of the treatment, a BOTOX session will usually cost between $300 and $400 per syringe. To maintain results, Botox patients will have to pay somewhere in that general range every four to six months.
