Botox has been the No. 1 minimally invasive cosmetic procedure in the United States for more than five years now. More than 7 million Botox treatments were performed across the country last year alone. The procedure works very quickly and effectively as a viable solution for fighting the signs of facial aging.
In recent years, it has been the best-selling minimally invasive treatment. What is the secret behind the success and popularity of Botox? Let’s find out:
1. Botox can conceal signs of facial aging
Botox works to interrupt nerve signals that trigger muscle contraction. It temporarily stops movement in the muscles of the face to reduce the appearance of expression lines such as forehead creases, crow’s feet and frown lines, among other things.
2. Botox is safe for most people
One of the top reasons for Botox’s popularity has to do with its FDA approval. It carries the FDA seal of approval and is generally safe for all skin types in men and women above 18 years of age. However, you’re expected to be in good health before treatment. Pregnant and breastfeeding moms may not be able to get the procedure done. It has minimal side effects, and you may start seeing the results as soon as 24 hours after injection.
3. The procedure is simple
Botox treatment can be done in just 15 minutes. It’s so easy you can even get it during your lunch break. It won’t hinder you from resuming normal activities and won’t pose any risk to your health. Everything about getting Botox is simple, but the improvements it can make on your appearance and self-esteem are quite enormous.
4. Botox is effective and temporary
Botox results, unlike facial plastic surgery, are temporary. The procedure delivers predictable results because it’s made with a precise mixture. If you’re hesitant to have a more invasive, permanent surgical procedure, Botox might be a suitable alternative. The product has undergone more than 15 years of clinical studies and is today a highly trusted name in the cosmetic field.
5. Botox has multiple uses
Botox’s primary purpose is to soften the appearance of expression lines. However, it has other medical benefits along with its primary cosmetic benefit. It also does an excellent job of relaxing the muscles in and around the site of injection. Therefore, it is also beneficial in treating muscle spasms, chronic migraines and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
