In these times of great scrutiny over physical appearances, a first impression is more important than ever. We all wish to look younger than we are, and are willing to go to great lengths to regain our youth. In order to deal with wrinkles and other lines that people inevitably have appear on their faces as they age, people are seeking out botox injections to make their skin look younger.
In the past, improving one's appearance was all about getting some form of plastic surgery that actually involved one to go under the knife. The healing process from such an operation can go on for weeks. It would even take months before any sort of effect showed. But that era has now started to fade away, thanks to botox. Recent studies in 2012 show that less invasive treatments such as botox injections are increasing, and more invasive plastic surgery is being chosen less often, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Why is this the case?
Well, for the middle class Jane Doe, botox injections can still bring out the beauty in them without emptying the bank account. The popularity of botox is increasing because it's safe, inexpensive, and makes a significant improvement on the overall appearance of individuals, and costly plastic surgery is less appealing.
It should be noted that people with a larger amount of disposable income would be more likely to get botox, so it is more popular in those circles. Media loves to print stories about famous people who appear to have had botox treatments.
What factors made botox to well-known?
It's safe to say that botox treatments are a huge part of modern cosmetic surgery clinics. The ease of administration, the absence of in-hospital stay for the procedure, its effects and its low cost make it an attractive option when it comes to treating fine lines and wrinkles. Its applications have these days extended well beyond just facial cosmetics, being now utilized in treating muscle spasm disorders such as blepharospasm and spastic paraplegias.
The effects can last for months and are obvious and recognisable. It has a positive effect on the confidence of the person, and there is a high chance that they would recommend it to a friend or family member.
Botox makes such a huge difference in the lives of those who get the treatments that they are visibly happier and feel more confident, and because of this, more and more people are giving botox a try.
