Virginia Madsen is one Hollywood star who’s open about her Botox treatments. Rather than hide them, Madsen isn’t ashamed to admit that she uses the procedure conservatively not for her fans or a guy but to feel great about herself.

“I don’t want to be 25. I’m 45. I love the way I look. I feel better than I ever have in my life,” the **** star said.

As the model for the “Keep the Wisdom, Lose the Lines” campaign of the National Women’s Health Resource Center, Madsen hopes to educate women about injectable cosmetic treatments.

Desperate Housewives’ star Teri Hatcher can’t seem to make up her mind whether or not she loves Botox. Last year, she admitted being a Botox fan in the past but decided that she would rather age naturally and gracefully.

“I haven’t had anything done to my face in over a year. And I don’t plan to. It needs to be OK to have wrinkles,” she told fans.

This year, she told the Daily Express that she never had Botox injections nor does she plan to get them.

Since it was approved for cosmetic purposes in 2002, Botox’s popularity has grown by leaps and bounds. Celebrities like Sylvester Stallone, Elizabeth Hurley, Ryan Seacrest, Celine Dion, Madonna, Cher, Kim Cattrall, and Kylie Minogue are suspected of using it. But the Botox Club isn’t confined to TV or movie stars. Thousands of men and women all over the world rely on this non-surgical procedure to fight wrinkles and the number of converts is increasing.

“The reason Botox has become so popular is due to the simplicity of the procedure. It does not require hospital admission, there are no surgical scars, no anesthesia and the results are visible in a few days,” according to an article in MediIndia.Com.

Botox is the brand name of the botulinum toxin type A, the purified form of the toxin secreted by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. When taken in large amounts, this toxin causes the food poisoning botulism. In small doses, Botox paralyzes specific muscles and stops them from contracting. This relaxes the muscles around wrinkles and makes the latter less noticeable.

Botox is currently used by doctors as a temporary treatment for moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet, and wrinkles on the forehead.

“Not all ****** wrinkles benefit from Botox injections, however. Botox won’t reverse wrinkling caused by sun damage. Also, it’s less effective treating the lines around your mouth because muscles in this area are needed for eating and talking. Your skin type, skin thickness and degree of wrinkling all play a role in determining whether these injections are effective for you,” said the MayoClinic.Com.

Moreover, the procedure is not free from side effects. Adverse reactions include pain and bruising at the injection site, redness, headache, nausea, and temporary ****** weakness. At the hands of an inexperienced doctor, Botox injections can be dangerous.

For your safety and protection, choose a board certified physician. If you’d rather be sure than sorry, use a product that works like Botox like the Rejuvinol AM/PM Botox Alternative Age-Defying System. This anti-aging system combines the power of the Rejuvinol morning moisturizer that creates firmer, healthier, and younger-looking skin; and the Rejuvox night cream that reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

Botox – Where Did it All Go Right: the Asprin of the Cosmetic Surgery World!

Originally utilised in the seventies for the treatment of patients with various movement disorders, Botox injections (Botunlinum Toxin A) were used in small doses to kill off the nerve cells within the muscles responsible for the offending disorder – reversing the severity of the movement. Dr. Caruthers, a pioneer of this revolutionary treatment, discovered that many of his patients also experienced anti-ageing benefits as a result of their treatment. After further experimentation, Botox Cosmetic Treatments where born.

This discovery of the Botox injection, as an anti-ageing treatment, revolutionised the cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery world. Since then, there have been a number of other comparative treatments – including Collagen injections, developed however Botox injections still remain the most popular treatment due to its non-permanency and cost effectiveness.

The Botox treatment however is not just a pretty face (pardon the pun). Although it has built its reputation through the successful treatment of forehead wrinkles, eye wrinkles and lines in cosmetic surgery for thousands of men and women– it also has many other uses in the cosmetic market. Some of these include injection into the balls of the feet.

Superstars such as Victoria Beckham and Sarah Jessica Parker are famous for high heels. This fetish comes at a cost. Many women in the UK experience pain in the balls of their feet from prolific wearing of high heels. Botox injections, once every three months, is used to relax the muscles and reduce pain.

Another condition that benefits from Botox injections are headaches and migraines. Much of this pain is caused by muscle spasm and over tight muscles. Botox treatment can stop these from occurring.

Hyperhydrosis. Sounds like an illness that could cause death doesn’t it? The only death it will cause however is from embarrassment. It is when someone has uncontrolled sweating and yep, you guessed it our old friend botox can stop it. Botox injected into the correct sweat glands, can stop this embarrassing affliction - the rise in this treatment is meteoric.

Cade Witnish, M.D. of Harlequin Medical, a Cosmetic Surgery Clinic in London, says ‘Botox injections for hyperhydrosis treatment has increased in the plastic surgery market by 400% in the last year. Botox remains the number one treatment in the cosmetic surgery industry. Botox anti-ageing still remains number one, but other botox treatment such as in cosmetic surgery for men, migraine, high heels (balls of feet) and other botox cosmetic treatments are growing faster.’

So there you have it – not just for anti-ageing (it’s an oldie but a goodie), but for all other cosmetic surgery treatment purposes, Botox is the cure all. It has been a long reign at the top of the plastic surgery world, but I don’t think this anti-ageing super heavyweight is going anywhere soon. Many have tried and failed – it will be interesting to see what product will be the next contender to try and take the place of botox injection as the king of cosmetic surgery jungle.
