Did you know that Botox injections are not near as effective nor as safe as many of the best wrinkle creams out there? Well, its true. Not only that that, but botox injections aren’t even permanent. An injection must be done every couple of months in order for you to maintain youthful, wrinkle free skin.
Is that all that’s bad about Botox injections? Unfortunately, no; the “con” list goes on and on. Here is a small part of that list and a few of the “negative” things that accompany Botox injections. After going through this list, you decide whether you should use Botox or if you should stick to using the best wrinkle creams.
– Unlike most wrinkle creams, which can be used on any facial region, Botox can only be used on incredibly limited regions of the face. Just a minuscule 5% of our face can be treated with Botox.
– Being injected with Botox means being injected with a bacterial neurotoxin known as botulinum. Many Botox users don’t know this, but botulinum is actually one of the most poisonous substances known to man. In fact, when exposed to large amounts of this deadly poison, death CAN be the result.
– After receiving Botox injections, it’s possible that the skin adjacent to the injected area may actually become more wrinkled.
– If Botox injections are done regularly to areas of the face, damage may occur to both the skin and the nerves.
– Unlike the best wrinkle creams, Botox addresses ONE and ONLY ONE aspect of facial “restoration”; motion wrinkles. The injection will not help with age spots, fine lines, crows feet, sun damage, under eye bags, or any of the other signs of aging. So even after the injection, you’ll still be left with lots of work to do.
– As mentioned earlier, Botox injections are in no way permanent. Most users find that their wrinkles come back within a mere 3-6 months after each injection. This might not mean much to someone with thousands & thousands of dollars to burn, but to the average Joe on a budget, $700-$800 per treatment is no drop in the bucket.
So, are these 6 facts enough to convince you that Botox really isn’t the best choice for facial rejuvenation? For your sake, I hope so. If it isn’t enough to sway you, then perhaps you need to do some research on the best wrinkle creams on the market. If the facts about anti wrinkle cream don’t change your mind, nothing will!
