The neuro-toxin Clostridium Botulinum which is the bacterium that causes botulism is better known as Botox. Botox is not a permanent cosmetic therapy to deal with age lines and wrinkles but a therapy which requires repeat treatment. Frowning causes lines on the forehead which often makes a person look older and these are the lines Botox is most commonly used to reduce. It is not a difficult treatment to perform and reducing wrinkles usually makes a person look younger. It obviously depends on the number of areas to be treated but the whole process usually takes less than 15 minutes. Looking younger couldn’t be simpler or quicker with lines around the mouth, eyes and forehead reduced within a couple of days.

Botox works because it is a neuro-toxin that paralyses the muscles it is injected into usually around the eyes and forehead for instance so that most of the movement in them is frozen. 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. You will probably have some swelling, numbness and bruising in the area where the injections were inserted and this is quite normal but recovery time is usually very short.

Using Botox to reduce aging wrinkles is one of the safest methods with very few side effects. Any discomfort felt using this procedure is minimal and only lasts a very short while as ice is used before and after treatment. This procedure can also help to reduce scarring, soften aged skin, and eradicate acne.

Because Botox helps to relax the muscles, wrinkles fade slowly as do deep laughter and frown lines. Most ‘A’ list celebrities have had a Botox treatment at some stage and many are frequent users but it should be remembered that cosmetic surgery isn’t always about how good you look to others. Microdermabrasion, chemical peels, injecting collagen and Botox are the preferred cosmetic procedure men favour as they are less invasive.

Botox has other medical uses and isn’t just a natural protein used in plastic surgery treatments. 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. One unfortunate downside is the muscle recovery time becomes longer the more frequently you have a Botox treatment. As aesthetic cosmetic treatments go, Botox is number one in the USA where over one million will be prescribed this year.
