The popularity of Botox treatments has risen steadily over the years and this is because of the many benefits it has to offer the recipients of the treatments. Although Botox is used in many different medical situations with many benefits, one of the most popular uses of these injections is to decrease the appearance of wrinkles on the face. Unlike many other surgical procedures used to enhance one’s physical appearance, the use of these injections can be done in one short visit to a doctor and there is no need to schedule time off for recovery. The effects of one treatment can greatly improve the interactions of the recipient with the people encountered throughout daily activities.

As a person ages, wrinkles begin to change the youthful appearance of the face and hands, transforming the smooth surface of their skin into valleys and furrows. Throughout the course of history, people have resorted to many strange and, often, dangerous lengths trying to delay or erase those wrinkles. More recently, the drug Botox has come into use. The Botox injection works to reduce wrinkles by relaxing the muscles that have become tight or rigid and which are causing the unsightly wrinkles. The medication has been used to treat a wide variety of conditions, most of which involve specific muscles or nerves that have become weakened or even paralyzed. The person suffering from these conditions experience relief after treatment injections.

The convenience of treating wrinkles in one easy visit, with no invasive surgical procedures and no follow up recovery period is one of the greatest benefits to a Botox treatment, whether the procedure is being done as part of a medical treatment or as a cosmetic treatment. Replacing face lifts and other forms of cosmetic surgery, the treatment of wrinkles by injection is relatively painless and inexpensive. This alternative treatment option is also advantageous for people using it for non-cosmetic treatments as they can experience relief without sustained, drawn out treatment regimens.

The appearance of wrinkles above the eyes and between the eyebrows can make a person look angry or intimidating. Wrinkles around the mouth and eyes might create the appearance of weariness and fatigue. These impressions may lead acquaintances, business peers and even family members react in a negative way and can increase uncomfortable misunderstandings. A smooth face and easy smile is a better first impression in a business meeting than an apparent frown.

Perhaps the most important moment of influence is the one when you first catch sight of the unlined forehead and smooth skin around your eyes and mouth.
