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. Although it is an answer to losing age lines and wrinkles, Botox is a treatment only and not a long term permanent solution. 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. The whole procedure can be completed in around 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.

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 is not permanent and works by only temporarily paralysing muscles, repeat injections are often needed in fact multiple treatments are recommended for optimal results. Recovery time is swift after a treatment but there may some bruising, swelling and numbness because Botox is a natural protein.

Using Botox to reduce aging wrinkles is one of the safest methods with very few side effects. To help minimize any discomfort, ice is used before and after treatment. Other benefits to using Botox are to help reduce scarring as well as acne and help to soften aging skin.

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. Men today are equally as vain as women but prefer those treatments that are less invasive and Botox is one of those along with chemical peels, collagen injections and microdermabrasion.

Probably something you don’t know about Botox is that it is also a prescription drug. Some of the non-cosmetic benefits of Botox are its ability to help control excessive sweating, muscle spasms of the eyes and neck and its ability to reduce the effects of migraine headaches. You should be warned though that it should not be used when a woman is pregnant or breast feeding. One downside to the use of Botox is the more frequent the treatments become, the more the muscles injected tend to atrophy and as a consequence it is longer before a further treatment can be given. Botox is being prescribed more than 1 million times in the United States this year and is now the most common aesthetic procedure performed in the USA.
