Botox Trends

By Ariel Mernal


Botox injections are nowadays popular as a 'quick fix' solution to younger looking skin. Botox injections have become commonplace in recent times for those who have facial wrinkles and lines, and would like to attain a more youthful appearance. What was once probably thought to be a procedure whose novelty might wear off one day is nowadays considered to be one that is here to stay.

There are sections in newspapers and magazines and segments on television that are dedicated to celebrities that have had botox in order to make their skin look more youthful. There are those who are thinking about the popularity of botox, and wondering why it has gotten so widely accepted.

It's actually pretty easy to understand why. Botox is a cheap and effective solution to ageing skin. It's a fast treatment, there are no scars which can happen from plastic surgery, and it is pretty easy on the bank account. Celebrities have made botox a household name, and because of this, many more people are now choosing to undergo these treatments.

What about Botox for Men?

It's a mistake for people to think that the only people out there getting botox treatments are women. This is far from the truth. Granted that majority of the people who undergo botox injections are women, these days' even men are undergoing these procedures. There are those in the media who have coined the term 'bro-tox'. In some areas, men are accounting for about half of the botox injections that they administer.

The trends are always evolving

The use of botox is rising. By some reports, the overall increase in botox treatments between 2010 and 2011 rose 5%, up to 5.7 million patients from 5.4 million the year before. Other statistics say that it's 10% that it has been going up, year by year. Most people see these numbers and are not surprised by them. In the past, the general attitude toward botox treatments were negative, but as time goes on, it's no longer just the super wealthy that can afford them, and regular people are much more accepting of the procedure. As time goes by, more and more people see this as an acceptable treatment method.

There is more than this though. Not only are botox treatments used to help those who have cosmetic issues, they are used for muscle spasticity disorders as well. Spastic paraparesis and cerebral palsy for adults and children, and blepharospasm are included in the other treatments that botox can be helpful for. Results have been promising and outcomes have been excellent. Botox injections can be used to treat excessive sweating, and some have found success in using scalp injections to help to treat migraine headaches.

It's plain to see that botox is only gaining in popularity. Advancements are constantly being made, and at this time the future prospects are looking quite grand.
