Reasons For The Popularity Of Botox Treatments

<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>By Francise Annikan</div><br /><br /> <div class='uawarticle'>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. The popularity of botox is increasing steadily for both women and men, and they are enjoying the benefits of these treatments equally. There are clinics out there that report that half of their patients are actually men. Newspapers have articles almost every day about some celebrity having had a face lift or a brow lift or a similar botox procedure.<br /> <br /> These are not the only choices in cosmetic medicine nowadays. Cosmetic clinics have many kinds of treatments available, including the more common forms such as plastic surgery and dermal fillers. But why is it that botox remains the most popular treatment?<br /> <br /> There were a lot more skeptics when botox was first being used for cosmetic purposes several years back. But things have changed dramatically in the recent years, and procedures have become a lot more refined and accurate. The rise in popularity is because of a variety of factors:<br /> <br /> 1. It is simple to perform<br /> <br /> There are specific programs that train physicians to administer botox injections. State boards in the United States have provided regulations that medical staff must complete in order to administer injections of botox. 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.<br /> <br /> 2. The price is actually pretty low<br /> <br /> The expense of cosmetic treatments is usually the major stumbling block for a patient. Plastic surgery is much more expensive than botox injections, so patients choose this option more.<br /> <br /> 3. It can be performed quickly<br /> <br /> The injection site is a main factor in determining the duration of the treatment, but for the most part, it only takes several minutes to administer. Basically, most people show up at the office, get a few quick injections and are back to their day in no time.<br /> <br /> 4. Treatments do not need much preparation at all<br /> <br /> Botox injections can be done without much planning, but plastic surgery requires people to fast overnight, and have anaesthesia administered, which increases risks. <br /> <br /> 5. The effects of the treatment are immediate and significant<br /> <br /> Patients seem to be almost universally satisfied with the treatments as they take no time to show results, and the enhancement is quite significant.<br /> <br /> Conclusion<br /> <br /> 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. The dream of younger looking skin devoid of fine lines and wrinkles is now easily achievable!<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawresource'><br /> <div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br /> About the Author:<br /> </div><br /> <div class='uawlinks'>Get <a href="http://iapam.com/botoxtraining">Botox certified </a>with the IAPAM.
