Botox has made a huge splash in the health and beauty market because of its ability to erase and minimize wrinkles. The stunning success of the BOTOX solution has had beauty enthusiasts lining up to receive their wrinkle treatments. Are botox treatments safe? After all BoTOX is a protein toxin produced by clostridium botulinum bacteria. This is the first cousin to the deadly botulism bacteria.
Botox has been safely used by opthamoligists for over a decade without any serious
side effects being reported. This drug has actually been around since the early
1960's. Originally it was used as a treatment for crossed eyes. The manner in which
botox works is that it is injected into the muscle where the wrinkles appear. When
the botox is injected into the muscle the frown lines, crow's feet and laugh lines
temporarily disappear. I stress the use of the word "temporary" because a botox
treatment normally lasts about 3 to 6 months. Botox treatments were approved by
the Food and Drug Administration as a treatment of muscles that produce frown
lines.
Botox injections have quickly become the fastest growing cosmetic procedure and
are anticipated to be used on over 4.5 million patients in 2006. They are more
popular than breast augmentation. Current botox patients report that after several
treatments that the effects of this wrinkle cure last much longer. It is important to
note that Botox is ineffective for fine wrinkles because fine wrinkles do not appear
because of facial expression caused by facial muscles.
On the flipside, the one negative of botox treatments is a slight and temporary
drooping of the eyelid. At the present time this appears to be the most important
side effect of botox treatment.
While botox has been safely used by millions of patients, it is recommended that
pregnant women, or women who are breastfeeding their babies as well as patients
suffering from neurologic disease should never use botox.
Botox treatments do not work for everyone. However, over 90% of patients who have
been surveyed are extremely happy with this procedure. This temporary cure for
wrinkles has created quite a bit of excitement in the health and beauty field. This
procedure is administered by qualified plastic surgeons. The average cost for a
simple botox treatment is about $200 - $400 for each area that it is applied to. Ricardo Sanchez Gonzalez is an active health and beauty enthusiast and the webmaster

treatments bring about.
