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. More and more people are now opting to use botox as a part of their beauty regime, and this includes both men and women. 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.

There are, of course, other cosmetic treatments available these days. Dermal fillers, plastic surgery and many other treatments also form a part of the day to day offerings in the world of cosmetic surgery. 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. With recent advances in the treatment procedures, the acceptance of the treatments is rising in the general population. The rise in popularity is because of a variety of factors:

1. It is simple to perform

Physicians who are licensed to administer botox must go through rigorous training to do so. In the United States, the state boards have set down rules and guidelines as to who can perform botox injections. Once training is complete, it is a fairly simple and straightforward procedure to perform that does not require any special preparation or admission to hospital. Due to this, it has become a very common solution for those who are looking for cosmetic treatments.

2. The price is actually pretty low

When a patient is seeking treatment, one major issue is the price. Plastic surgery is much more expensive than botox injections, so patients choose this option more.

3. It can be performed quickly

Depending on where the botox injections need to be administered, the procedure can take no more than a few minutes to perform. So it's into the doctor's office, a few injections where required, and out in a jiffy!

4. Treatments do not need much preparation at all

Compared to plastic surgery that requires patients to undergo an overnight fast and general anaesthesia during the procedure, botox injections can be done without any such special preparation whatsoever.

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.

Summary

As it is evident, there are a number of reasons why more and more people prefer botox injections these days, making it a popular cosmetic treatment. Having a more youthful appearance has never been so easy, since these treatments can help get rid of unsightly wrinkles and lines.
