Why Botox Is The Most Popular Treatment

By Francise Annikan


While the words 'botulinum toxin' can sound like something out of a Stephen King novel, it is in fact considered one of the most popular and amazing advances in cosmetic medicine of the 21st century. At this time, botox is being accepted by both sexes as a normal thing that people can do in order to enhance their appearance. Men actually compose about half of the patients in a lot of botox clinics nowadays. When a celebrity has a cosmetic procedure, either plastic surgery or botox, the newspapers are other media spend a lot of time reporting on it.

These are not the only choices in cosmetic medicine nowadays. Typical cosmetic surgery procedures include plastic surgery and other injections such as dermal fillers. But why is it that botox remains the most popular treatment?

When botox was first reported on to the public years ago, the reaction was not nearly as accepting as it is these days. As the treatment becomes more common, and the techniques used become more advanced, it has become more widely accepted. The rise in popularity is because of a variety of factors:

1. This is a very simple procedure.

Medical experts have specialized training that teach the optimal techniques for injecting botox. There are regulations that state boards in the United States have set up that set forth the qualifications for medical personnel to deliver the treatments. The training is very in depth, but after a physician has gone through it, they quickly become incredibly proficient due to the ease of the administration of the products, and it's done in-office. This makes it an attractive cosmetic treatment option.

2. It is relatively cheap

The expense of cosmetic treatments is usually the major stumbling block for a patient. Having these injections is relatively cheap, and when compared to the price of plastic surgery, it looks quite attractive.

3. The treatments are very fast

The time that a treatment will take depends on where the injections are made, but typically it's just a couple of moments until it's done. Basically, most people show up at the office, get a few quick injections and are back to their day in no time.

4. Treatments do not need much preparation at all

Getting quick botox treatments is incredibly simple compared to the hassle of fasting before plastic surgery, and the more invasive use of having anaesthesia used during the procedure.

5. Results are instant and excellent

Patients seem to be almost universally satisfied with the treatments as they take no time to show results, and the enhancement is quite significant.

Synopsis

Botox is gaining in popularity as of late, and there are many reasons for the success of these kind of cosmetic treatments. Wrinkles and lines can be significantly reduced using these procedures, and patients can look years younger, rather quickly.
