Popular Botox Clients Reveal The Truth
Years ago, when Botox was first introduced as a plastic surgery alternative in the late 80s, it was an expensive procedure in addition to which, there was little known about how safe it would be. Things have changed since then, especially in the last few years. The cost has come down considerably and Botox has proven to be not just a fad but to have actual, documented, clinical use for more than just removing wrinkles from popular Botox clients.
What is Botox & How Does it Work?
Botox is the trade name for a solution used for facial enhancements that contains the botulism toxin A. Toxin A is not the bacteria that causes the illness known as botulism, but one of the neurotoxins created by the bacterium. It attaches itself to the nerve endings in the injection site, and blocks the neurotransmitters in our own bodies from causing any muscle contractions in that particular area. Muscle contractions cause wrinkles to form, and popular Botox clients swear that wrinkles cannot form until it wears off, usually around 6 months.
Opponents to popular Botox users have what they think are solid arguments against it but so far the two main arguments have not been proven to be valid at all. The first one, that the shot causes patients to develop botulism, is completely untrue. The dosage of a Botox shot is very small and there is no chance that the neurotoxin on its own will cause the illness. If any of the many cases of celebrities and Botox has ever gotten sick after receiving an injection, it is because they had an allergic reaction to something in the solution, not because of the toxin itself.
With Botox, A Little goes a Long Way
Other opponents against celebrities and Botox or at least the most popular Botox clients, claim that the end result makes the user look like their faces have frozen. While this may be the case in some users of this compound, the reason behind it is not the treatment itself. As eloquently stated in the past by popular past clients such as Jenny McCarthy, Sharon Osborne and Vanessa Williams; “A little goes a long way”.
There are some people who have the smaller dose done, do not see immediate improvement and insist on getting injected again. This is what causes the “frozen face” look. According to Ms. Williams, a popular icon among celebrities and Botox, schedules her appointments three months apart and only receives a very small amount at a time. As she so rightly claims, smaller doses over several sittings make the wrinkle reduction look more natural as opposed to getting a larger dose at one sitting. The results vary from person to person, so getting a professional’s advice before beginning any procedure is always the best way to go!
