Botox has become a well used cosmetic enhancement over the last few years by ridding people of age line and wrinkles but how much do you know about Botox. Despite its recent rise to fame, the original research into botox is a few decades old.

Used originally for disorders of the brain, botox was first studied back in the early 1960’s and derived from the now famous poison Botulinum toxin. For patients suffering with uncontrollable blinking and crossed eyes, a treatment finally came in 1989 when the FDA granted approval for botox to be used on these patients and also for wrinkles.

Botox was also found to be effective at helping patients with neck and shoulder contractions and in the year 2000 was given the all clear to treat this condition in addition to other eye related problems. In their research, doctors discovered that Botox softened the frown lines between the eyebrows and it was after this discovery that Botox officially came into existence and was FDA approved for cosmetic use in 2002.

When Botox is injected into the muscles of the forehead, it blocks nerve impulses which results in the weakening of the muscles that cause frowning and eventually over a period of several months, given enough of these injections, the frown lines start to soften. Continued treatments mean in many cases the lines disappear and now the same treatment is used on other areas of the face like the crows’ feet, laughter lines and other facial wrinkles.

To allay any fears about injection toxin into our bodies; these injections only contain a diluted and purified version of the poison that can make us very sick. The problem is that when we laugh, cry or make any facial gesture, lines and wrinkles appear caused by the muscles that have helped create the expression and botox can eliminate these lines.

Many cosmetic manufacturers have tried to create creams to eliminate the creases and lines that are formed on our faces after years of wear and tear but botox is the only treatment to date that can actually rid them from us. Many people believe that overuse of botox leaves the recipient with a look similar to that of a mannequin because they cannot use their facial muscles.

Because frown line, wrinkles and facial creases have all but disappeared, it provides the user with a look of someone much younger. Some will be happy that the people who can afford botox treatments are still the wealthy and with individual treatments in the low to very high hundreds of dollars it looks to remain that way.

There is always some concern about new treatments and botox is no exception with many people worried about the long term effects of botox injections but even so this has not stopped its popularity.
