Wrinkles are out, Botox is in

Let’s face it, as the years go by the aging process takes a toll on our skin. Forehead wrinkles, glabellar frown lines (the lines between your eyebrows), and crow’s feet are all tell-tale signs of aging. The economy may be down, but according to the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), cosmetic surgery is more popular than ever before. Non-invasive cosmetic procedures prove to be the more affordable alternative to major cosmetic surgeries. Botulinum Toxin Type A, also known to the public as Botox, was the number one non-invasive cosmetic procedure in 2012. The number of Botox users has risen by 680% since the year 2000. The popularity of Botox has skyrocketed since its FDA approval for glabellar frown lines in 2002. Botox is a safe, easy way to rid your face of those age identifying wrinkles. Typically the procedure takes about an hour, and results can be seen in as little as a week.
