Botox is More Common than you Think

By Andrew Wughin


Going under the knife with costly surgery is not as popular as Botox treatments. Cosmetic surgery is comparatively much more expensive, painful and uncomfortable, takes a longer time to heal, and comes with the possibility of complications. Botox is different. It is extremely affordable. There are rarely complications. There's no recovery time required. And it's a painless procedure.

It has been used to treat thousands of patients medically and cosmetically for over twenty years. There are a lot of myths about Botox. One of them is that it is poison being injected into patients. This is not accurate. It is a bacterium called clostridium botulinum that has been purified under very strict controlled conditions.

Moderation Works Best with Botox

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. Because it is a beauty treatment, it is often portrayed negatively in news reports. Frozen faces of celebrities or the most extreme examples are often paraded out as examples of Botox as an extreme lifestyle choice. But these are often wrongly associated with Botox. A well trained physician who is experienced in Botox injections will not produce the kind of extreme examples noted. There should be very no impact on the ability to produce natural facial expressions, when administered carefully by an experienced practitioner.

A Desire for Youthful Skin

As we mature, our skin begins to lose its snap, leading to facial lines and wrinkles. Due to physiology and the demands of usual life, the standard areas of concern usually begin with the forehead area, in and around the eyes, and in and around the mouth area. Unsurprisingly, this can cause people to seem less than energetic. To achieve a rejuvenated expression, Botox goes right to the origin of the problem. The muscles of the face that are creating the deep lines and wrinkles are targeted.

Over time, the natural expressions that we make, like smiling or frowning, cause wrinkles to appear and set in. A certain group of muscles is activated for each expression, and these muscles give rise to crease lines that form into permanent wrinkles. Botox prevents the formation of wrinkles through a simple technique designed to limit these muscles from causing creases.

Expectations and your Doctor

You will not be administered an anesthetic for this procedure, but before your treatment, your specialist may numb the injection site slightly. The procedure will likely take around ten minutes and you can return to daily activities shortly afterwards.

Botox courses are offered to doctors, dentists, assistants of physicians, and licensed nurses. Depending on where you are located, this may differ, however, it's important to understand that only physicians can buy Botox and it must be administered either by the physician or someone under their supervision.

For whatever purpose we choose a botox treatment it is essential that it should be administered by the physician or the doctor who has undertaken a best Botox course and practical training.
