Why Botox® is the Most Popular Injectable

It’s no wonder why Botox® has become the most popular injectable used in cosmetic procedures with over six million treatments administered in a year. With a myriad of uses, it can be a surgeon’s best tool. That’s why our office of Providence Facial Plastic Surgery would like to share with you just why Botox® is such a good choice.

Reverse Aging

The most obvious of all of the uses for Botox® is perhaps the cosmetic benefits. It can be used to smooth out wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and on the neck, as well as help make lip lines and crow’s feet disappear.

Aging brings attention to a lot of problem areas on the face that used to not be so severe when the skin was younger and more capable of keeping itself healthy. Botox® was developed to help ease the signs of aging.

Facial Contouring

Aging isn’t the only thing that can cause skin trouble. Botox® can be used to help shape eyebrows and smooth out chin dimples that genetics would otherwise cause. Using a naturally occurring therapeutic protein called Botulinum, Dr. Ginsburg can ease away some of the problem areas that may be keeping you from feeling as confident as you deserve.

Medical Benefits

Perhaps one of the most exciting reasons for the popularity of Botox® is the plethora of medical benefits it can provide. People with chronic migraines have found relief in medically prescribed Botox® treatments as well as people with overactive sweat glands on their upper lips, eyebrows, and even their palms.

The idea of Botox® is that the protein Botulinum freezes the muscles to keep them from progressing signs of aging. This process is exceptionally helpful to patients with muscular disorders. With their muscle activity slowed down to a near halt, a series of treatments can be incredibly relieving.

Ease

Of course there are a number of similar treatments in the field that could take the place of Botox®, but none provide the same level of comfort and ease. The procedure itself is practically painless and happens in the span of a few minutes. No downtime is needed, and patients can resume their normal routine immediately after leaving their appointment.
