Looking Younger The Botox Way
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. Botox Cosmetic is an injected liquid used to treat frown lines, squint and smile lines, nasal crunch lines, and horizontal forehead wrinkles. It is used to target the muscles underneath the skin. As a result, a more youthful appearance is achieved. The injected liquid does not travel anywhere else in the body but in the facial muscle area. It gradually wears off naturally over a 3-6 month period.
For over twenty years, Botox has been used safely for both cosmetic and medical purposes. Botox is produced in a lab by a bacterium called clostridium botulinum and it has been purified under very strict controlled conditions.
Increasingly, men are turning to this exceptional wrinkle cure to look younger. 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. It's a segment of about ten percent of all Botox injections, or around a half a million and counting.
A lot of reasons are cited to explain the large growing segment of the market that is now looking for youth enhancing procedures. Frankly, many men are being introduced to it by their wives. Their wives may have had the procedure themselves, seen the exceptional results and the youthful appearance. And then, naturally, they want the same thing for their husband. Men no longer think of erasing wrinkles as a the domain of women.
