In Las Vegas Botox Treatment Is As Commonplace As A Visit To The Dentist

By Anita Ortega


Many millions of dollars are spent each year by people that want to improve their looks. It has become trendy to look younger, to live healthier and to be fit. In fact, the health and cosmetic industry has shown tremendous growth and can now be considered to be one of the fastest growing industries in the world. For example, in Las Vegas botox treatments have become as common as applying cosmetics.

It is important to understand that this drug can be extremely dangerous. It is a close relation of a poison called Botulin Toxin A that is responsible for food poisoning and that can actually lead to death. The cosmetic version of this drug can also be fatal if it is used in the wrong way. It is interesting to note that botox is not a new drug. It has been around for many years.

Long before the drug became famous as a cosmetic treatment, it has been used routinely and successfully to treat many medical conditions. Medical practitioners use it to treat migraines, weak bladders, incessant twitching, and conditions that affect the muscles of the neck and shoulders. It is also used to control extreme under arm sweating. It seems as if the medical uses of the drug have been known for a long time.

The drug works in a very simple yet effective manner. It is injected into nerves and muscles and then those nerves and muscles become paralyzed. This means that the targeted muscles cannot move and a muscle that cannot move cannot cause pain or discomfort and neither can it wrinkle, hence the cosmetic popularity of the treatment. It is vital to be extremely careful to target the correct muscles and nerves because treatment remains effective for anything from there months to a year.

Even a cursory internet search will reveal that the drug has many critics. Independent clinical studies indicate that the drug is safe however, but great care should be taken to use only qualified and experienced practitioners for administering the drug. There are some side effects. Some people develop symptoms typical to flu and most patients will sport bruises for a while.

It is the cosmetic application of the drug that has made it so extremely popular. Both men and women flock to clinics and there is no doubt that the drug is effective as long as the practitioner is experienced and careful. When compared with the cost of surgery, it is rather cheap and as an added bonus, there is almost no recuperation period.

While the drug is famous for its cosmetic uses, one should remember that numerous people also rely on the drug to relieve debilitating medical conditions. If people want to use it for cosmetic purpose, they should be able to make up their own minds. People have the right to make decisions about their own bodies. After all, the drug is legal and freely available.

It would be wrong to think that it is only women that use the drug for cosmetic purposes. Men are increasingly becoming conscious about their looks and their individual grooming regimes. It seems that the modern competitive world gives preference to those that look good and as long as that is the case people will do whatever is necessary.
