Botulism is something to avoid but Botox, the brand name of the popular cosmetic treatment is a neuro-toxin derived from the same bacterium, Clostridium Botulinum. 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. It is the forehead lines usually caused by frowning that Botox is most commonly used for. As a cosmetic procedure it is a fairly simple one but the results can be amazing as the reduction of facial lines makes the recipient look younger. The whole procedure is quick in addition to simple and most recipients have the treatment completed in less than 15 minutes, depending on the areas treated. Results after a Botox treatment can be seen within a few days so lines around the eyes, mouth and forehead are visibly reduced.

Botox injections work by paralysing the muscles that cause wrinkles and lines, like horizontal and vertical lines on the forehead or crow’s feet near the eyes for instance, so there will be less movement. Because Botox neuro-toxin only paralyses muscles for a temporary period, repeat treatments are normally required and more often than not multiple injections if the best results are to be seen. Recovery time is swift after a treatment but there may some bruising, swelling and numbness because Botox is a natural protein.

There are very few side effects to this procedure and is one of the safest available for reduction of wrinkles. Any discomfort felt using this procedure is minimal and only lasts a very short while as ice is used before and after treatment. Botox treatments have other uses to for those who suffer with acne or facial scarring.

Because Botox helps to relax the muscles, wrinkles fade slowly as do deep laughter and frown lines. 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’. As a general rule, men usually choose less-invasive surgeries such as Botox injections, as well as collagen injections, chemical peels and microdermabrasion.

The uses of Botox aren’t just limited to cosmetic treatments either as it has other useful medical properties. There have been other studies on the properties of Botox and it has been found to help reduce the effects of migraine and sweating in addition to muscle spasms of the neck and eyes. Two occasions when it can’t be used though are when a woman is breast feeding or pregnant. As treatments become more and more frequent the injected muscles may begin to atrophy, leading to a longer period of time needed between treatments. Botox has become so popular now that in the United States this year over one million treatments will be prescribed.
