Many dermatologists believe that this is the year of Botox. This technology has been upgraded greatly and this procedure isn’t as exclusive as it used to be. In a sense, this is to be expected, since new trends are emerging every year. This means that not only is this procedure becoming affordable, but it is also going to become ‘a common use’, meaning that more and more people are going to get it.
As you know, the whole point of injecting Botox is to eliminate wrinkles and make skin younger and radiant. Until a few years ago, only people of certain age faced with age-related deterioration of the skin would think about getting Botox. However, things have slightly changed recently. Nowadays, the number of people who are getting it as a preventive measure is increasing. If you really think about it, this fact is not that surprising taking into consideration that we live in an era of social media platforms and selfies.
