Did You Get The Botox® Wonder Shot?

In its original state, Botox® is one of the most toxic proteins found naturally in the world. In its adapted state, Botox® was used in the 1980’s to treat conditions like Blepharospasm [uncontrolled blinking] and Strabismus [cross eyes]. An accidental discovery led to this protein’s rise as the most popular non surgical treatment in plastic surgery. Doctors realized that Botox® could be adapted to temporarily erase frown lines, crow’s feet and laugh lines from a patient’s face. Studies also pointed to the efficacy of Botox® in relieving migraine headaches and excessive sweating among other minor complications.

Initially a very expensive
plastic surgery option, Botox® was made popular by celebrities and socialites alike. However, the speed with which Botox® treatments were administered and the minimal recovery time expected, the success and easy availability of Botox® was ensured. Today, the treatment takes as less as ten minutes and results are noticeable within twenty-four hours.

The entire treatment is administered through just an injection, the repetition of which is recommended regularly for better results. All the fuss that a
plastic surgery procedure like a facelift or a neck lift causes a patient is eliminated. There are no scars, no bruises, no bandages, no stitches and no post- procedure precautions that have to be taken care of with Botox®.

If these aren’t reasons enough to opt for the magic injection, then the cost factor certainly is.
Botox® treatments are available at a fraction of the cost that cosmetic surgery procedures usually entail. With such a painless option available to patients, Botox® injections are as enjoyable as a trip to your beauty salon- which you might no longer even need to patronize.
