Recently in Ireland and abroad there has been an explosion in the number of patients receiving non surgical cosmetic procedures such as Botox therapy.
Europe historically follows the fashion trends set by the USA where the number of procedures peaked at over 10 million procedures last year with 2.5 million Botox treatments and nearly one million filler treatments and accordingly the market in Ireland is expected to grow for the next 3 years.
The most common non surgical procedures are Botox, fillers e.g Restylane, laser treatments, microdermabrasion and chemical peels.
Botox also known as Botulinum A toxin was discovered in Germany in the 1820’s and its medical use started in America in the early 1980’s initially for eye diseases. It is still used under license for a range of muscular disorders but over 90% of world wide use is in cosmetic work.
It is mostly used for wrinkles or lines around the eyes e.g. laughter lines and frown lines and is also used for sweaty armpits and migraine in some patients.
Botox works by weakening the facial muscles and the effect can last over 4 months and is virtually side effect free.
