If you’re on social media, you’ll know that it’s impossible to so much as glance at your feed without seeing at least one selfie and probably quite a few more. The popularity of Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and others encourages us to share details of our daily lives, often enhanced by the addition of a photo. If you haven’t posted a selfie to a social media account, you’re in a small minority, a fact which may explain why BOTOX® and other cosmetic procedures have grown in popularity.
Selfies and Self Image
While being able to share photos with numerous friends and acquaintances can be a great thing, it can also mean that we’re constantly scrutinizing our own appearances and focusing on the areas we’re less than happy with. It makes sense that this may then evolve into an interest in BOTOX® injections with the aim of taking more flawless selfies.
Celebrities publicizing the fact they opt for BOTOX® injections to enhance their looks has also made it more socially acceptable recently.
Opting for BOTOX® Injections
If you would like to join the BOTOX® trend and make use of the injections to combat fine lines and wrinkles on your face, the first step is to contact a board-certified plastic surgeon’s clinic. BOTOX® injections take just 10 to 15 minutes to apply. If you’re planning the procedure to tie in with a specific event, remember that it can take between 7 and 10 days for the results to become visible.
