Popularity


BOTOX® has really become a household name for wrinkle-treatment. Even though in the past couple of years a couple of contenders have been introduced to the market, BOTOX® remains the only brand name that is as recognized for anti-aging in the same way as Kleenex® has become synonymous with tissue. Cosmetic medical treatments are also not as hush-hush as they once were, with patients no longer keeping what treatments they’ve undergone a secret.

You can just look at the statistics, compiled annually by the American Society of Plastic Surgery, that shows the number of procedures performed every year for almost every cosmetic medical treatment has risen consistently since 2000. But most importantly, the procedures that have really increased in popularity are non-surgical treatments, like BOTOX®. BOTOX® (and other related types of injectables) experienced an increase of 12% over 10 years (2000-2010). Most surprisingly is that between 2000 and 2010, there was a 584% jump.

These days, patients are choosing more and more non-surgical cosmetic treatments to improve their appearance. It appears men and women no longer want to commit themselves to a lengthy recovery period that involves time off of work. They may also be less favourable of knives and incisions because non-surgical options can sometimes achieve results that are just as good, with far less downtime and a dramatically smaller number of related risks and side effects. Furthermore, the unfavourable economic climate may also be a reason for the popularity of non-invasive solutions, since they do tend to be less expensive.

So if you want smoother skin that’s wrinkle-free, and you don’t want to undergo surgery or pay a hefty amount to get your improved and younger-looking complexion, then BOTOX® may be the perfect solution for you. Talk to Toronto Botox Clinic today for more information about the treatment.
