  You probably have seen Botox commercials on television. You may think that there aren’t any real health benefits of these treatments.

You need to know more about it and find out if Botox could be useful for you.

The Health Benefits of Botox Are Not Just Skin Deep

In February, the Mayo Clinic published an article detailing something that is rarely talked about – the health benefits of Botox treatments. Botox is not just used for removing wrinkles. It can also help with other issues like neck spasms. Of course, treating wrinkles can also be helpful, since addressing cosmetic issues can reduce the risks of mental health issues like depression and anxiety. Botox is an anti-wrinkle treatment that was made available worldwide back in 2002, although it was accidentally invented 15 years earlier. Botox has quickly become the most popular treatment around. A lot of people have started becoming interested in Botox procedures and the benefits they offer to slow-down the ageing process. Yet, the average consumer does not really know enough about it to make an informed decision on the procedure. If you are considering getting botox in Melbourne, there are many qualified professionals in the field and it is essential that you have the proper information to make the right decision for you. The anti-wrinkle injection is the most common cosmetic procedure available, and there are specific areas where it works best. Every year there are more and more injections being done by certified professionals, and many people are thrilled with the results. If you have been considering some anti-ageing treatment for your wrinkles and lines, Botox may just be exactly what you need. Keep reading for a basic understanding of Botox and whether or not it is an affordable option for you.

What Is Botox?

This really should be the first question you ask when starting to think about getting Botox treatment. A wise consumer would never have anything injected into their skin without knowing what it is first. Thankfully Botox is actually a naturally occurring substance that is in your body. Botulinum toxin is classified as a protein and has the important job of keeping muscles in place. A Botox injection will essentially freeze muscles in certain parts of the face so they act stronger and hold the skin in place better. It is also used for other procedures, other than cosmetic, and it is very effective for these other applications as well. It is by no means a permanent treatment option, but, if affordable, it can make a huge difference to the lines and wrinkles you want to get rid of.

Where Can Botox Be Used?

As stated, Botox is not an injection that can be used just anywhere. There are three very common places that Botox is normally administered for anti-wrinkle treatment purposes. These areas are the forehead, the corners of the eyes and in-between the eyes. The areas above seem to be the most common ones to start showing signs of ageing first, and Botox is even used to prevent these wrinkles and lines before they happen. These areas of your face use the most muscles for facial expressions, so they have to work harder and therefore age quicker than other areas. If you are looking to get rid of fine forehead lines or crow’s feet, Botox may be just the treatment option you should reach for.

What Does Botox Cost?

Botox injections are always sold at an average cost of $12 per unit, and they normally come packaged as 10, 20, 50, or 100 units per order. The average forehead treatment can take anywhere from 10 to 20 units of Botox, which equals $120 to $240 for the actual injection itself. The variable here will be the cosmetic surgeon you choose to perform the procedure. You will need to contact a professional service and get the exact cost of their labour, and then you can get a firm idea of how much you will pay. Some procedures will take much more Botox than others, so keep in mind that you could find yourself needing to purchase upwards of 100 units.

Botox Is Growing For A Reason

There has to be a reason for the growing trend in using Botox as an anti-aging procedure, people are seeing results. Compared to many other cosmetic surgery procedures, Botox is quite affordable for the average consumer. It has been deemed safe for almost 20 years, and when done by a certified professional, will make you look younger and may even help to rejuvenate your entire life.
