Did you know that there were 4.8 million Botox procedures carried out in 2014, an increase of 748% from the beginning of the 21^st century? While the vast majority of these were performed on women, there were still more than 640,000 procedures conducted of men, and 19,000 on teenagers, proving that the demographic interest for Botox is a lot more wide-ranging than you might think.

It is well known that Botox is an ideal method of facial rejuvenation, but it can also treat numerous medical conditions such as cervical dystonia, muscle contractures and bladder dysfunction. It has the potential to transform a person’s life, although it is not suitable for everyone – pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with Bell’s palsy and people with a coagulation disorder should not get Botox.
