The Booming Business of Botox

As both surgical and non-invasive cosmetic procedures have increased in popularity, their availability has increased demand.

However, today we would like to draw attention to one of the original injectables on the scene: Botox.

Botox has been used for cosmetic purposes for several decades now, and its popularity has only increased. As we head into the new year, we at Viper predict that Botox will continue to grow in popularity.

It has many benefits, both cosmetic and medical. It is low-cost, quick, and easy to administer, and its effects can last between three and six months.

Botox’s steady rise

Americans of all ages are becoming further exposed to cosmetic procedures, and the choice to undergo cosmetic procedures is gradually becoming less stigmatized.

In the decades since its clearance for cosmetic use, the price of Botox has reduced to where it is today – about $10 to $15 per unit. Botox is increasingly used by people of all ages for its many advantages.

For younger users of Botox, there are its anti-aging effects that can help them age more gracefully. For older users of Botox, injections can take years off their appearance. Its effectiveness, reputation, and price have made Botox injections for some men and women alike as routine as a trip to the salon.

And why shouldn’t it?

As more and more people begin to use Botox to prevent or reverse the visible effects of aging, the use of non-invasive procedures like Botox should destigmatize.

After all, the American population is living longer, and there is no shame in wanting to look your best as you age. More and more celebrities are openly discussing the cosmetic procedures they have undergone, furthering the de-stigmatization of undergoing cosmetic procedures.

With the increased use of non-invasive cosmetic procedures like Botox, there is greater reason to see the kind of glamour and ageless beauty previously only associated with celebrities as accessible to everyone.

Using Botox to look your best

That said, the ever-lower price of Botox injections and its wide availability expose users to risk.

For the best results, seek out a professional with extensive training and experience, ideally at a doctor-owned practice.
