Look Years Younger With Botox® Cosmetic

We all want to look young and fresh and “new,” which is why it is no surprise that more and more these days you see women (and even some men) getting Botox® Cosmetic to restore their youthful appearance. It's been the 'secret weapon' of celebrities for years - so it's great news that it's becoming more common.

Botox® , in essence, is an injection that is used to smooth out lines and wrinkles in the face, including getting get rid of things like crow’s feet as well. Botox® , over the years, has become more and more common – but it hasn’t always been that way.

In the 1820’s, Dr. Kerner discovered bacteria in contaminated meat products, which caused botulism, and eventually found a cure for it, and then about fifty years later Dr. Müller named the bacterium Botulism after Kerner’s earlier description of the Botulinum Toxin as “wurstgift” i.e. “sausage poison.” Botox® itself came about by the finding that food-born botulism would cause drooping eyelids, difficulty swallowing, muscle weakness, and if left untreated, worse things such as paralysis and respiratory failure.

In the 1950s and 1960s, scientists began researching the beneficial effects of botulism and they found that botulism could also be used as a therapeutic application. In 1989, Botulinum Toxin (Botox® ) Type A was approved to treat numerous neurological disorders such as strabismus and blepharospasm and many others as well. From there came the discovery that through the use of these injections, brow wrinkles were starting to disappear.

As soon as this news got out Botox® was a hit among almost every person imaginable. Botox® , which was originally used for treatments of certain “illnesses,” has now become something that everyone – from Hollywood stars to every day housewives – have now come to covet.
