A large number of people are having Botox injections to regain a more youthful appearance. It is now a widely accepted treatment that is as common as going for a haircut. In fact, the latest addition to the social calendar is the Botox party, a social event that focuses around Botox treatments.

Botox was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for cosmetic use in April 2002. Botox is now commonly used by many cosmetic dentists for facial rejuvenation procedure, giving you non-surgical face-lift. Botox is great for the treatment of expression lines such as crow’s feet and forehead frown lines. These lines are caused when overactive muscle movement wears away the collagen in the skin, which in turn causes the skin to crease or wrinkle. Botulinum toxin works by relaxing the muscles, thus preventing wrinkles and smoothing out lines.
Botox is a safe-to-use bacterial toxin which, when injected into the facial muscles in minute quantities, relaxes the muscles and effectively improves the appearance of wrinkles that are caused by the movement of these muscles. The procedure is painless and takes about 10 minutes. Botox injections need to be repeated every few months, as the botox is broken down by the body.
