In these times of great scrutiny over physical appearances, a first impression is more important than ever. The drive to make oneself look as they did in their youth is strong, and many of us will do whatever they can in their attempts to achieve this. 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.
Plastic surgery used to be the only real choice when someone wanted to alter their appearance to look younger, and this more drastic option is more of a commitment. Procedures would take hours to perform and weeks to heal. The positive effects can take even more time, possibly months. But that era has now started to fade away, thanks to botox. In a report that was published by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in 2012, there was a marked increase in the use of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures such as botox injection, while there was a decline in the total number of cosmetic surgeries performed.
Why is this?
Well, for the middle class Jane Doe, botox injections can still bring out the beauty in them without emptying the bank account. 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.
However, it does appear that the entire 'botox culture' seems to have been taken on by members of a more affluent society. Celebrity papers have an article almost every day about some celebrity who has undergone botox.
But why is it that botox is so popular?
There is no doubt that botox has pretty much taken the world of cosmetic surgery by storm. 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. Its applications have these days extended well beyond just facial cosmetics, being now utilized in treating muscle spasm disorders such as blepharospasm and spastic paraplegias.
Months later, the effects of these procedures are still quite noticeable. Many people's confidence is boosted significantly by having these treatments, and they usually tell family and friends to have it done as well.
Because of such great results from botox injection treatments, many people are having the procedure done and they are gaining confidence and feeling younger because of the wider degree of acceptance.
