No More Stigma with Botox

By Andrew Wughin


Botox has become the preferred alternative to cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery can be painful and uncomfortable and it takes a longer time to heal. Of course, any surgery comes with the possibility of complications. On the other hand, Botox is affordable, there's little down time and the procedure is a fine needle that is painless.

It has been used to treat thousands of patients medically and cosmetically for over twenty years. Botox is produced in a lab by a bacterium called clostridium botulinum and it has been purified under very strict controlled conditions.

Moderation Works Best with Botox

Although Botox treatments are so popular, there are still many myths surrounding the procedure. Because it is a beauty treatment, it is often portrayed negatively in news reports. There will always be people who take cosmetic procedures to the extreme. One should not look at the extreme examples to gauge the excellent results that Botox can achieve in the right circumstances. But Botox in the hands of a competent and practiced physician, simply does not produce those bad effects. There should be very no impact on the ability to produce natural facial expressions, when administered carefully by an experienced practitioner.

A Desire for Youthful Skin

Getting mature often means our skin is changing. We lose our elasticity and our face begins to reveal deeper lines and wrinkles. It is effortless to make out the most noticeable areas. These are areas where a lot of muscle use occurs. The forehead region, encompassing the eyes, and the mouth are pretty standard challenge areas. Often, the consequence is a look of fatigue. To achieve a rejuvenated look, Botox goes right to the source of the issue. The muscles of the face that are creating the deep lines and wrinkles are targeted.

Facial wrinkles are most often formed while people smile, frown or make other facial expressions. The muscles that make the facial skin fold or crease, give rise to crease lines that form into permanent wrinkles. By a simple process of inhibiting these muscles from causing creases, Botox goes about reversing this process.

What Can you Expect from your Doctor?

You will not be administered an anesthetic for this procedure, but before your treatment, your specialist may numb the injection site slightly. The procedure will likely take around ten minutes and you can return to daily activities shortly afterwards.

Doctors, dentists, assistants of physicians, and licensed nurses are typically the demographic taking Botox certification courses. This varies from state to state and it's important to understand that only physicians can buy Botox and it must be administered either by the physician or someone under their supervision.
