Though the injections are said to make the faces a bit immobile and expressionless, they are very popular. There are some side reactions and some dangers associated with it but on the whole, the procedure is relatively safe and reliable. People in the public eye are the most common customers. The procedure is short and simple. A very fine needle is used to inject the minute dose of botox and within a day or two the evidence is there for all to see. The patient loses the wrinkles and frown lines and appears much younger than his age. When injected near the eyes, the crow's feet which come with age, lessens and looks smoother.

However the influence of the treatments lasts for just four to six months after which the patient has to go in for another dose. In a year he may need about three doses but after a few doses, the result may last longer. Scientific research and attempts are being made to make the effects last longer but then it is a very strong poison and only minute doses can be used for this procedure.

New instant creams are said to be all set to replace the injections but so far there has not been a single cream available which can replace Botox in all areas. Hence even if the effects last for four to six months people still prefer to use Botox. Parties are reported to be arranged where doctors and patients relax and enjoy the party, at the same time the doctors administer the treatments and the patients cum guests come out of the party looking younger than when they went in for the party.
