When the going gets tough, the tough get botox. Well not always, but the investment might help if you’re feeling crushed over the US election result.
Indeed getting a jab of botox used to be that “thing” many people did without fully admitting it – at least not until they were asked to smile and couldn’t.
But nowadays, the odd injection of boxtox is becoming increasing common and not just among women.
According to a study released by market researcher Technavio, the number of facial injections is expected to significantly increase over the next five years as women and increasingly men try to iron out their wrinkles and look more youthful.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons said that between 2009 and 2010, there were 1.1 million more men opting for some sort of plastic surgery.
Research suggests that if done correctly cosmetic treatments such as Botox can also have therapeutic benefits that assist in fighting depressing by lifting a person’s mood. So what’s that worth to you?
Anti-wrinkle injections can cost between $1200 and $2800 over the course of a year. So that’s several treatments at $300 – $700 a session, every three to four months.
Each injection lasts between three to six months and it’s increasingly being used in younger women as a preventative aging drug.
