Botox - The Temporary Wrinkle Solution
By Harald Anderson
Botox has made a huge splash in the health and beauty market because of its ability to erase and minimize wrinkles. The stunning success of the solution has had beauty enthusiasts lining up to receive their wrinkle treatments. Are treatments safe? After all is a protein toxin produced by clostridium botulinum bacteria. This is the first cousin to the deadly botulism bacteria.
Botox has been safely used by opthamoligists for over a decade without any serious side effects being reported. This drug has actually been around since the early 1960’s. Originally it was used as a treatment for crossed eyes. The manner in which works is that it is injected into the muscle where the wrinkles appear. When the is injected into the muscle the frown lines, crow’s feet and laugh lines temporarily disappear. I stress the use of the word “temporary” because a treatment normally lasts about 3 to 6 months. treatments were approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a treatment of muscles that produce frown lines.
Botox injections have quickly become the fastest growing cosmetic procedure and are anticipated to be used on over 4.5 million patients in 2006. They are more popular than breast augmentation. Current patients report that after several treatments that the effects of this wrinkle cure last much longer. It is important to note that is ineffective
for fine wrinkles because fine wrinkles do not appear because of facial expression caused by facial muscles.
On the flipside, the one negative of treatments is a slight and temporary drooping of the eyelid. At the present time this appears to be the most important side effect of treatment.
While has been safely used by millions of patients, it is recommended that pregnant women, or women who are breastfeeding their babies as well as patients suffering from neurologic disease should never use botox.
Botox treatments do not work for everyone. However, over 90% of patients who have been surveyed are extremely happy with this procedure. This temporary cure for wrinkles has created quite a bit of excitement in the health and beauty field. This procedure is administered by qualified plastic surgeons. The average cost for a simple treatment is about $200 - $400 for each area that it is applied to.
