Reasons For The Popularity Of Botox Treatments

By Francise Annikan


While the words 'botulinum toxin' can sound like something out of a Stephen King novel, it is in fact considered one of the most popular and amazing advances in cosmetic medicine of the 21st century. More and more people are now opting to use botox as a part of their beauty regime, and this includes both men and women. Some clinics are now reporting that nearly 50% of their clientele are men. There are celebrity gossip programs on television daily that talk about stars that have had plastic surgery or other kinds of treatments such as botox.

Other options are available for people who are interested in cosmetic enhancement also. Dermal fillers, plastic surgery and many other treatments also form a part of the day to day offerings in the world of cosmetic surgery. With so many choices, what makes botox the most popular?

There were a lot more skeptics when botox was first being used for cosmetic purposes several years back. As the treatment becomes more common, and the techniques used become more advanced, it has become more widely accepted. The rise in popularity is because of a variety of factors:

1. It is very non-invasive.

Physicians who are licensed to administer botox must go through rigorous training to do so. State boards in the United States have provided regulations that medical staff must complete in order to administer injections of botox. Once training is complete, it is a fairly simple and straightforward procedure to perform that does not require any special preparation or admission to hospital. This makes it an attractive cosmetic treatment option.

2. It's pretty cost-effective

Cost can be a big obstacle to obtaining treatments patients' desire. Having these injections is relatively cheap, and when compared to the price of plastic surgery, it looks quite attractive.

3. It can be performed quickly

The time that a treatment will take depends on where the injections are made, but typically it's just a couple of moments until it's done. Usually a patient gets to the clinic, has a couple fast injections in strategic places, and they are out the door in a few moments.

4. The preparation for treatment is very simple

Compared to plastic surgery that requires patients to undergo an overnight fast and general anaesthesia during the procedure, botox injections can be done without any such special preparation whatsoever.

5. Benefits are seem right away and are quite noticeable

Botox commonly makes a patient instantly satisfied because they can see how effective it is right away, and the effect is very noticeable.

Synopsis

At this time, the rate of botox use has been going up steadily, and the general public has become more accepting of these treatments that are used for many different reasons. The dream of younger looking skin devoid of fine lines and wrinkles is now easily achievable!
