As an owner of a medspa we get thousands of questions a month about Botox. What is it? How does it work? Will I be able to move my face? Will I look like Heidi Montag? Will I look like Joan Rivers? Is it poison? Many people are still hesitant to try Botox because of the celebrities they see on TV that tend to overdue their treatment. The general public does not want to look plastic. The desire for most is just to look rested and to smooth out a few lines. Botox is definitely a great solution.

It is important to find a good injector for Botox. Find a professional that truly listens to you and be wary of the injector that just comes in and starts poking. Different patterns are available to achieve various results. Did you know you can have an eye brow lift? Or, if the corners of your mouth pull down they can be lifted too.
For optimum results, Botox treatments should be maintained quarterly. The goal of the injections is to weaken the strength of the wrinkle causing muscle. Over time the Botox wears off and the muscle begins to strengthen again. That is when you need to call for your next appointment. You do not want the muscle to regain full movement. Over time, less Botox is needed to achieve the same results because the muscle remains in a more weakened state. With a little bit of budgeting anyone can plan for Botox treatments and the results are so amazing most clients figure out a way. You don’t have to overdue your look and be careful of anyone over-promising results or offering unique, one-of-a-kind Botox at extremely high prices or extremely low prices.

Across the board averages depend on where you live. The northern part of the US is the most expensive and southern the least. Expect to pay between $10-$15 per unit or $250- $1,125 per treatment. Be weary of folks offering in-home Botox parties, especially if alcohol is served. Botox should always be performed by a doctor or licensed nurse practitioner who is familiar with the procedure and the delicate nature in which it should be performed.

Check out some before and after pics of celebrities and regular folks that have had good and not so good success!

Among all these enhancements available in the market, a simple procedure of removing facial creases and wrinkle lines to make the face look younger has become one of the most popular in the market.

Primarily used to remove wrinkle lines, botox is a “purified protein administered in a simple, non-surgical procedure that temporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows, on the forehead or for crows feet around the eyes in people of at least 18 years of age,  a well-acclaimed BOTOX® center in the market said.

Many people nowadays tend to get pressured to look good. In fact, in a recent research conducted by The Nielsen Company it was shown that almost all of US Consumers attest to the fact that the pressure to look good has never been so great. This burden done on these people, however, does not automatically translate to people buying or feeling obligated to purchase health and beauty products that do nothing but artificially cover up their feeling of not being too good-looking.

As a result, Americans, along with the majority of people across the globe, feel that buying beauty products does not really contribute to their need of feeling beautiful and attractive.

This, however, “doesnt necessarily mean that consumers are compelled to spend more on beauty products and treatments. It seems the older you get, the less you spend, as teens and consumers in their 20s spend more in this category, said Shuchi Sethi, VP of Nielsen Research Team.

Treatment of Wrinkles and Aging Skin
Botox for the prevention of aging is used when injections are made just below the skin of the face. The muscles below the skin are paralyzed and therefore wrinkles are relaxed.
