Botox Trends

By Ariel Mernal


People today know that botox injection procedures are fast and easy, and make the skin look more youthful. Wrinkles and fine lines in the face become quite a big concern for ageing people, so many of them are utilizing the latest advances in cosmetic treatments, and that means getting botox injections. There was a time when people may have thought that botox was a trend that would disappear, but people now realize that it is not going anywhere.

There are sections in newspapers and magazines and segments on television that are dedicated to celebrities that have had botox in order to make their skin look more youthful. A lot of people are wondering why this has become so increasingly mainstream in recent years.

It's actually pretty easy to understand why. People realize that botox is low-cost, and works well to make the skin look younger. Unlike plastic surgery, there are no scars after the procedure, it's low-cost, and it takes only a few minutes to have done. Celebrities have made botox a household name, and because of this, many more people are now choosing to undergo these treatments.

Botox for men?

Many people think that botox is only something that women are interested in, but this is not true. This is far from the truth. Even though the procedure is more often performed on women, men are getting botox treatments more often nowadays. Some newspaper reports have even gone to the extent of calling it 'bro-tox'! Some clinics now report that up to 50% of their patients undergoing botox are male!

The trends are always evolving

Botox is becoming more popular all the time. By some reports, the overall increase in botox treatments between 2010 and 2011 rose 5%, up to 5.7 million patients from 5.4 million the year before. Other statistics say that it's 10% that it has been going up, year by year. This rising trend should come as no surprise. In the past, the general attitude toward botox treatments were negative, but as time goes on, it's no longer just the super wealthy that can afford them, and regular people are much more accepting of the procedure. As time goes by, more and more people see this as an acceptable treatment method.

There is more than this though. Botox's applications have advanced from just cosmetic use to management of a variety of clinical conditions that cause muscle spasticity. Some of these conditions include blepharospasm, spastic paraparesis and cerebral palsy in both children and adults. The benefits are looking good and the results are more than satisfactory. Migraines have been known to be reduced using scalp injections of botox, as well as excessive sweating and other issues.

We can all speculate with certainty that botox is only going to rise in acceptance in time. Advancements are constantly being made, and at this time the future prospects are looking quite grand.
