Why Botox Is The Most Popular Treatment

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.

These are not the only choices in cosmetic medicine nowadays. Cosmetic clinics have many kinds of treatments available, including the more common forms such as plastic surgery and dermal fillers. There are a lot of options available, what is the reason that botox is so successful?

There were a lot more skeptics when botox was first being used for cosmetic purposes several years back. But things have changed dramatically in the recent years, and procedures have become a lot more refined and accurate. The rise in popularity is because of a variety of factors:

1. This is a very simple procedure.

There are specific programs that train physicians to administer botox injections. There are regulations that state boards in the United States have set up that set forth the qualifications for medical personnel to deliver the treatments. After a medical professional receives their specialized training, the application of botox treatments are fast and safe for patients, and these can be done using out-patient processes. Because of these reasons, it is a popular choice for cosmetic treatments.

2. It is relatively cheap

The expense of cosmetic treatments is usually the major stumbling block for a patient. 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. It requires no special preparation

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. Results are instant and excellent

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

Conclusion

Botox is gaining in popularity as of late, and there are many reasons for the success of these kind of cosmetic treatments. Wrinkles and lines can be significantly reduced using these procedures, and patients can look years younger, rather quickly.
