What is actually a Botox? Botox is a very diluted version of the botulinum toxin. While the pure form is known as dangerous and can caused food poisoning, Botox has been carefully administered therefore, it is generally safe.

So how does this Botox work? We all know that Some of the wrinkles are caused by pressure from the muscles in your face.The Injections of Botox will paralyze the muscles and release the tension, reducing or even removing the wrinkles there.

These are some of the reasons why people prefer to use Botox:
1. Botox is Inexpensive. Normally it only cost $500 / treatment. Compare to Face lift which could cost thousands dollars
2. The effects are fairly rapid, most of the time it will take 3-5 days
3. The procedure is very quick, It takes around 10 – 30 minutes and after that you can simply go home. Face lift patient will have to wait longer with much more recovery time
4. The pain is minimal
5. Botox almost never requires anesthesia


However, beyond of those benefits there are also some shortcomings and drawback about Botox such as:
1. Not all wrinkle can be removed by Botox. Those caused by smoking habit or sun exposure, for instance are not the ones.
2. Botox works by paralyzing muscles. You may not be able to peep or glare after the treatment. In worse but rare case, It could caused your eye lid to sag or a slight tendency to drool..
3. Botox’s effect is temporary, It tend to wear off after a few months, meaning if you like the effects, you'll have to get another treatment. However, if you don't like what Botox does for you, then this limited period of effectiveness is a good thing.
4. To get the full benefit of Botox, there are some requirements that you should fulfill such as: You have to be in a good condition of physical and Psychological health, not using any drugs or alcohol.

Last but not least, take a lot of consideration before you decide to receive Botox, Seek as many as you wish all the information from your doctor, follow all the instruction and be honest about your health (allergy history, etc) and personal being.
