It’s hard to believe but the well known cosmetic enhancement treatment known by the brand name of Botox, a neuro-toxin, is derived from the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum which causes botulism. Botox is used to treat lines associated with aging but does not offer a long term solution as it is a treatment and not a therapy. The most popular use of Botox is to reduce frown and forehead lines. It is not a difficult treatment to perform and reducing wrinkles usually makes a person look younger. Not only is the treatment simple but fast, with most being completed in under a quarter of an hour. The results of Botox treatment are seen quickly as well with mouth, eyes and forehead lines noticeably reduced only a few days after the procedure.

When Botox is injected into the muscles that cause wrinkles around the eyes and forehead for instance, it paralyses them and stops almost all movement. Because Botox is not permanent and works by only temporarily paralysing muscles, repeat injections are often needed in fact multiple treatments are recommended for optimal results. Fortunately, it doesn’t take long to recover from a Botox treatment although some numbness, swelling and bruising may be present.

This treatment for reducing wrinkles has very few side effects and one of the safest on the market. There is a little discomfort with this procedure but it only last a few seconds as ice is applied before and after the procedure. This procedure can also help to reduce scarring, soften aged skin, and eradicate acne.

Botox relaxes the muscles when it paralyses them so that the lines that are normally seen around the eyes mouth and forehead gradually fade away. It seems that nearly every popular celebrity has had Botox injections or a face-lift to improve their appearance but cosmetic surgery isn’t just about improving your appearance to ‘fit in’. Microdermabrasion, chemical peels, injecting collagen and Botox are the preferred cosmetic procedure men favour as they are less invasive.

Botox is a prescription drug and not just a purified protein used in cosmetic surgery. It has been found to be effective in reducing migraines, muscle spasms in the facial area and can assist in excessive sweating. Two occasions when it can’t be used though are when a woman is breast feeding or pregnant. The one fault with Botox treatments is that the more frequent they become, the longer the period is before they can be given again as the effect it has is to cause the muscles to atrophy and a greater time is needed for them to recover. As aesthetic cosmetic treatments go, Botox is number one in the USA where over one million will be prescribed this year.
