It has a safety record that is outstanding. It is affordable to get treated. The results are non-permanent but last for some time. And the results turn back the clocks of time. This is the calling card of Botox. Botox Cosmetic is an injected liquid used to treat frown lines, squint and smile lines, nasal crunch lines, and horizontal forehead wrinkles. By relaxing the underlying muscles, these lines become less deep. The injected liquid does not travel anywhere else in the body but in the facial muscle area. Again, Botox treatments are non-invasive and non-permanent. A treatment will wear off within 3 to 6 months.
For over twenty years, Botox has been used safely for both cosmetic and medical purposes. Botox has been purified under very strict controlled conditions. It is a bacterium called clostridium botulinum.
It's not just for woman any longer. There is the need and desire among men to look younger. As a result, they are turning to Botox in record numbers. The trend is obvious. You see it in daily news reports, in social media, and in general in popular culture. The market for men and Botox is expanding. Some industry reports have estimated that in the past six years alone, the number of men getting Botox injections has increase by 300 percent. It's a segment of about ten percent of all Botox injections, or around a half a million and counting.
There are probably many reasons that the number of men signing up for wrinkle-reducing injections is increasing. One main reason is that a lot of men are being introduced to it by their wives, who are more aware and sensitive to the impact of frown lines or those deep forehead lines that can make them look much older. The social stigma of not appearing to care about how they look is no longer in fashion for men. Appearance matters and it is becoming evident in study after study.
Who Should Not be Receiving a Botox Treatment?

Usually, it will take under ten minutes. And there is no recovery time required, so you can go back to work or off to another errand if desired.
It's not surprising that the affordability of Botox is one of the factors that has driven it's popularity. Depending on the nature of the treatment, a BOTOX session will usually cost between $300 and $400 per syringe. Botox patients can anticipate this price point every four to six months, if they are looking to maintain the results of their treatment.
