Originally utilised in the seventies for the treatment of patients with various movement disorders, Botox injections (Botunlinum Toxin A) were used in small doses to kill off the nerve cells within the muscles responsible for the offending disorder – reversing the severity of the movement. Dr. Caruthers, a pioneer of this revolutionary treatment, discovered that many of his patients also experienced anti-ageing benefits as a result of their treatment. After further experimentation, Botox Cosmetic Treatments where born.
This discovery of the Botox injection, as an anti-ageing treatment, revolutionised the cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery world. Since then, there have been a number of other comparative treatments – including Collagen injections, developed however Botox injections still remain the most popular treatment due to its non-permanency and cost effectiveness.
The Botox treatment however is not just a pretty face (pardon the pun). Although it has built its reputation through the successful treatment of forehead wrinkles, eye wrinkles and lines in cosmetic surgery for thousands of men and women– it also has many other uses in the cosmetic market. Some of these include injection into the balls of the feet.
Superstars such as Victoria Beckham and Sarah Jessica Parker are famous for high heels. This ****** comes at a cost. Many women in the UK experience pain in the balls of their feet from prolific wearing of high heels. Botox injections, once every three months, is used to relax the muscles and reduce pain.
Another condition that benefits from Botox injections are headaches and migraines. Much of this pain is caused by muscle spasm and over tight muscles. Botox treatment can stop these from occurring.
Hyperhydrosis. Sounds like an illness that could cause death doesn’t it? The only death it will cause however is from embarrassment. It is when someone has uncontrolled sweating and yep, you guessed it our old friend botox can stop it. Botox injected into the correct sweat glands, can stop this embarrassing affliction - the rise in this treatment is meteoric.
Cade Witnish, M.D. of Harlequin Medical, a Cosmetic Surgery Clinic in London, says ‘Botox injections for hyperhydrosis treatment has increased in the plastic surgery market by 400% in the last year. Botox remains the number one treatment in the cosmetic surgery industry. Botox anti-ageing still remains number one, but other botox treatment such as in cosmetic surgery for men, migraine, high heels (balls of feet) and other botox cosmetic treatments are growing faster.’
So there you have it – not just for anti-ageing (it’s an oldie but a goodie), but for all other cosmetic surgery treatment purposes, Botox is the cure all. It has been a long reign at the top of the plastic surgery world, but I don’t think this anti-ageing super heavyweight is going anywhere soon. Many have tried and failed – it will be interesting to see what product will be the next contender to try and take the place of botox injection as the king of cosmetic surgery jungle.
