Botox can be used by anyone who does not have any allergic reactions to such medicines, who is in good health and does not use drugs in any form. Any person suffering from muscular problems or anyone who wishes to look young and graceful can undergo this procedure. Though cosmetically women use it to look young, men have also been using it.

There have been cases where newborn babies have been administered botox on medical grounds and proved to be successful. A two and a half month old baby in Washington was suffering from Charge syndrome, which includes some birth defects in the heart, eyes, ears or salivary glands. This baby was suffering from overactive salivary glands, which can lead to engorgement in the lungs and other parts. The doctor used this injection on him and now, at two and a half years, the child is normal and healthy.

The cosmetic use of this was discovered when a doctor couple observed that the wrinkles on a patient disappeared and she looked young when she was treated using this procedure for an eye problem. Since then, the cosmetic use of botox has grown in leaps and bounds. Thousands of older men and women use it. Some girls in their twenties have also been reported to have used this injection to retain their youthful appearance.

Botox works by paralyzing the muscles. If there is no movement in a muscle as it has been paralyzed, obviously it cannot cause wrinkles either. That is the principle used in rejuvenation cases. Many film and TV stars, models and beauty conscious women and men use it .Now the use is so common that there are reported parties for this procedure where a group of people meet, have a party while their doctors administer the injections. These injections are given to the patients when they are relaxing and it takes just about five to ten minutes for the procedure.
