Look Young, Feel Better!

By Devon R. Monache


Botox, injected 5.6 million times last year, has become the Kleenex of the field - the brand name so familiar that people think it is the generic term. It's safety record, and high satisfaction rating for results have made Botox the leader in cosmetic procedures worldwide. Botox is classed as a non-invasive procedure. With no recovery time required, and no freezing, Botox has very few obstacles attached to a procedure.

People Still Believe Wrongly

Despite the wealth of available facts out there, there are still some stubborn myths that seem to stick to Botox and those who get the treatment. Like many beauty treatments, it is sometimes associated with frivolity and given a bad and undeserved reputation. Frozen faces of celebrities or the most extreme examples are often paraded out as examples of Botox as an extreme lifestyle choice. But these are often wrongly associated with Botox. A competent physician with experience in Botox will produce a more natural look suited to the individual patient. When administered carefully by an experienced practitioner there should be very little effect, if any, on the ability to produce natural facial expressions.

Get Rid of Frown Lines

One of the key target areas for Botox is the treatment of the frown lines between the eyebrows. Patients and physicians target this area for a very good reason; getting rid of those frown lines makes you look younger.

When you inject the frown muscle with an adequate dose of Botox Cosmetic, it stops moving. So, in effect, the Botox makes the frown lines disappear. The overlying skin can no longer wrinkle up because the frown muscle can no longer contract.

This type of Botox procedure is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the world. The results are fast and the area is one that gets attention and notice. Since Botox was approved by the FDA in 2002, it's been estimated that 11.8 million treatments have been performed to treat frown lines. A 90% satisfaction result for people getting a Botox treatment is exceptional. It's not surprising that the good news continues to spread out in social media circles.

The treatment process for frown lines is very simple. Botox is injected directly into the muscles that cause the frown lines to occur. Again, the needle is very small, so there is no need for freezing and there is no downtime. A procedure can take between 5 and 10 minutes.

Botox has an amazing safety record. It is manufactured under very strict conditions and it is a medical pharmaceutical. Botox was initially a treatment that was only associated with the rich and famous, but nowadays, it is as common for a soccer mom to a construction worker to seek Botox treatments as a way to turn back the clock.
