We all know how important physical first impressions are in today's superficial society. We all wish to look younger than we are, and are willing to go to great lengths to regain our youth. Wrinkles and lines on the face are an unsightly and unwelcome sign of ageing, and many people are turning to the idea of getting injections of botox in order to help renew skin that is getting older looking.
Years ago, the only option was to have plastic surgery, and this is a much more invasive procedure, but many people went through with it anyway. Procedures would take hours to perform and weeks to heal. It would even take months before any sort of effect showed. Because of botox, this kind of procedure is no longer necessary. 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?
When an average person wants to improve their appearance, they can do this with botox without paying for highly expensive surgery. For many reasons, botox is becoming more mainstream, but one of the biggest reasons is that it's much faster, safer, and cheaper than having a plastic surgery, which is way more invasive.
People who are in the higher social class are obviously more likely to have botox treatments, and this is helping to fuel a wider acceptance for the procedure. Celebrity papers have an article almost every day about some celebrity who has undergone botox.
But why is it that botox is so popular?
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. These type of injections are being used now for conditions such as spastic paraplegias, blepharospasms, and muscle spasms, as well as for cosmetic purposes.
The effects can last for months and are obvious and recognisable. When a patient is highly satisfied with the results of their procedure, they are much more likely to promote the procedure to their acquaintances and other people they know.
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.
