Looking Younger Has Never Been Easier

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. There are no incisions made, no anaesthetic needed and no recovery time is required after the treatment.

The Myths Abound

Although Botox treatments are so popular, there are still many myths surrounding the procedure. Like many beauty treatments, it is sometimes associated with frivolity and given a bad and undeserved reputation. Pictures of celebrities showing unnatural cosmetic surgery and extreme treatments can be wrongly mistaken for being the result of Botox. A well trained physician who is experienced in Botox injections will not produce the kind of extreme examples noted. Natural expressions should not be affected negatively in any way, as long as an experienced physician is administering the treatment.

Get Rid of Frown Lines

One of the key target areas for Botox is the treatment of the frown lines between the eyebrows. Patients and physicians target this area for a very good reason; eliminating those frown lines makes you look fresher and more relaxed.

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 overlying skin can no longer wrinkle up because the frown muscle can no longer contract.

Using Botox to eliminate frown lines is one of the most common non-surgical cosmetic procedure performed worldwide. It's been estimated that 11.8 million treatments have been performed for frown lines since approved by the FDA in 2002 for this specific area. With over 90% of people who get Botox indicating satisfaction, it's not surprising that Botox continues to grow in popularity, especially with the word spreading through social media.

Despite their nature, it is not a difficult process to treat frown lines. The muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows are injected with Botox. No anesthesia is required because the needle is very tiny, the discomfort is minimal, and the treatment itself usually takes less than 5 minutes to perform.

Botox has an amazing safety record. It is manufactured under very strict conditions and it is a medical pharmaceutical. Botox was initially a treatment that was only associated with the rich and famous, but nowadays, it is as common for a soccer mom to a construction worker to seek Botox treatments as a way to turn back the clock.
