Botox is probably the most well-known cosmetic injectable on the market. This is in no small part due to the popularity of the treatment amongst celebrities. Botox isn’t just for the rich and famous though; both men and women from all walks of life choose to get Botox thanks to its ability to get rid of lines and wrinkles effectively.

Below are some of the main benefits of Botox

• It’s quick –
  Botox is a very convenient treatment and many people choose to have it done on their lunch break. Unlike a facelift, or any other type of surgery, you don’t need to prepare in advance or plan to take time off work while you recover.
• Non-surgical treatment –
  Botox is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment meaning that you avoid all the downsides that come with surgery, such as the scars, downtime and risks. Although Botox can have some side effects, they are mostly well-tolerated and subside within a matter of hours/days.
• It’s effective –
  Botox has been shown to be very effective at treating lines and wrinkles. It is approved by the FDA and has been available widely at countless clinics throughout the US for more than a decade.
• It’s affordable –
  Botox is a very affordable treatment and although regular treatments are required to maintain the results, the per-treatment cost is not comparable to what you would pay for surgery.

Below are some of the most commonly asked questions about Botox.

Is it safe?
Yes. Botox is a very safe treatment and it’s very rare for there to be serious complications. You will be assessed prior to treatment to determine if you’re a suitable candidate too so there is no need to worry.

Does it hurt?
People who have Botox generally experience little pain. This is because the needles used are very small and also because the treated areas can be numbed with cream or an ice pack prior to treatment.

How long will the results last?
The results of a Botox treatment session will usually last for approximately 3-6 months, depending on the individual. After this time, more treatment can be administered in order to maintain the positive results.
