Botox® injections are nowadays popular as a ‘quick fix’ solution to younger-looking skin.
Its cosmetic applications have advanced significantly over the last few years, with more and more people now looking to undergo Botox procedures with the hope of getting rid of fine lines and wrinkles.
What was once probably thought to be a procedure whose novelty might wear off one day is nowadays considered to be one that is here to stay.
If you're looking for an effective solution to target problem wrinkles, then Botox may be the answer.
You may have read about it in the news or even seen it on television – more and more celebrities are now using Botox® injections to maintain their young looks and skin.
But the question on many people’s minds is ‘why is it so popular?’ or ‘what makes it such a sought after the procedure?’
Well, the answer is simple really. Botox procedures are a cheap and effective solution to aging skin. The entire procedure only takes a few minutes, is cheap and does not produce any scarring that may be associated with plastic surgery.
More and more people have realized this now, thanks to all the publicity Botox® treatments receive through celebrity use.
When Botox® is used cosmetically to treat wrinkles, for example, an injection is done through the skin into the muscle beneath, which causes the muscle to be temporarily weakened.
This is accomplished by blocking the number of impulses the nerve receives.
This allows the skin to have time to recover, due to the skin not being constantly stretched and contracted, due to regular facial movements in those areas.
Botox® can be used to treat much more than wrinkles, however. It is a very effective treatment for muscle spasms in the face, eyelids, or many other areas of the body.
For those that have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, for example, Botox injections are able to prevent or reduce some of the muscle spasms associated with that condition.

Excessive sweating can be both embarrassing and irritating. You might get sweats in different parts of your body.
The two most popular places in your body for sweating are underarms and face. Every person wants to get rid of this embarrassing problem as soon as possible.
The technical term for foo much sweating is ‘hyperhidrosis’. Sometimes the problem occurs due to medical condition while sometimes due to other reasons.

There is a common misconception that Botox procedures are sought after by women and women alone. This is far from the truth.
Granted that the majority of the people who undergo Botox® injections are women, these days’ even men are undergoing these procedures.
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 use of Botox® is rising. It is estimated that the number of men and women who underwent Botox procedures rose by around 3% from 2017 to 2018- that’s a rise to people 7.4 million people! In 2011, that number was 5.4 million.
This rising trend should come as no surprise. The previously attached ‘stigma’ and social attitude to Botox® injections being the treatment reserved for the wealthy no longer exists, and neither does any sense of any shame of undergoing the procedure.
It has now become a well-recognized and widely accepted surgical procedure.
But that’s not all. 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. Results have been promising and outcomes have been excellent.
Other applications include managing patients with migraine (multiple Botox® injections are given to the scalp) and excessive sweating.
There is no doubt that the future is bright for Botox®. Research is ongoing into looking at newer applications, and the results so far are promising.
