Botox Injections

Botox, or botulinum toxin is an anti ageing drug that is very popular these days. Earlier it was only used by Hollywood and other celebrities but nowadays it is also used by common people as an anti ageing drug.

Botox blocks nerve signals that tell muscles to contract, flattening wrinkles when used on the face. Botox treatments can cost you about $600 per session but these days a lot of people are ready to spend this kind of money to get a face lift.

Getting Botox injections hurts a little , When the needle pricks your skin, you can actually hear the tip penetrating—it sounds like a teeny tiny bag of potato chips is being crushed. Pain wise it hurts less that an eyebrow wax , but still it does hurt. Because Botox stuns the nerves, you can try with all your might to make the facial muscles move, but they can’t.

In most cases you look very natural and after the completion of the treatment you need to visit your plastic surgeon or laser clinic almost every six months just for normal checkups.

There are people who are against this treatment ,those who believe that we should stay the way god made us but I guess we all have a right to our opinion.

For me Botox treatment is just like getting an orthodontic treatment , that is also used to improve your looks.

Botox can also help can help patients left immobile by brain injuries, multiple sclerosis, spinal problems or strokes. An Australian stroke victim Russell McPhee , paralysed for more than 20 years is walking again thanks to anti-wrinkle drug Botox, in a case hailed as extraordinary by his medical spa team.

“I thought I was going to die in a wheelchair,” McPhee said. But now he can walk around his home unaided and travel up to 100 meters using a walking stick.

So depending upon your need and requirements , Botox can be a very effective drug.
