What You Should Know About Botox

By Pamela Perry


The world of cosmetology has undergone a definite and gradual evolution over the last three decades. The botulinum toxin commonly known as Botox was introduced in the 1980s and has since then become a household name in the world of cosmetics. It has been celebrated as the miracle drug by most of its users and has become a common drug for millions of men and women worldwide.

The drug has been praised for its reliability, affordability, and convenience. It promises a quick fix to those users who do not prefer surgery or any downtime. The marketers promise that the drug can be administered within fifteen minutes or a typical lunch break. The number of users has been on the rise with most paying a lot of money to have the drug injected in their facial muscles. This paralyzes their facial muscles, remove wrinkles and provides a visible smoothness on their face.

This is what attracts the majority the users of the drugs who are mostly women. It makes the drug appealing as it is also affordable and accepted by society. Its simple nature and popularity have made it possible for the users to get access to the drug in malls and spas everywhere. In some regions, the drug is even administered in noon clinical areas.

The major use of the drug is to remedy the expression lines also referred to as frown lines of the face. It is a quick, safe, easy and reliable way of removing these lines temporarily on the face. This makes the user look much younger thus the name anti-aging wonder drug.

It is important that the drug is always administered by a licensed professional in a professional setting. Only a diluted form of the drug should be used on the facial muscles. In the case of wrinkles, three injections are administered on each side of the wrinkles and in the middle. Within ten days, users should start seeing the results. Instant results are just a myth provided by marketers to attract more users of the drug.

During this time the facial muscles are paralyzed. The user may find it difficult to make certain facial expressions such as frowning or scowling during this time. The wrinkles also disappear as the facial movement is controlled.

Since the drug is injected in its diluted form, no significant risks can develop. However, when used in its natural form without diluting the drug can cause severe respiratory failure. Extreme cases can lead to death. It is therefore important that one seeks the services of a licensed professional to administer the drug.

Since the injections of the drug are temporary, the user is only able to keep the youthful face for a few months. The wrinkles can only be prevented continuously if the user is able to get two or three injections in a year. This makes the drug become even more popular as more and more people enlist to the lifetime maintenance program.
