Botox side effects become a rising concern PDF Print E-mail
Written by David Castillo   

In the past, cosmetic surgery was reserved for the rich and famous. But, these days, everybody can get them. While the risks have been reduced—there are still risks.

Botox, the famous anti-wrinkle injectable, is offered in many salons. On some occasions, people have been even known to host Botox parties, where the drug is administered by a qualified professional inside the comfort of your own home.

Some believe that easier access to Botox has led to neglect for proper procedures. When the drug is administered by unqualified individuals, it often results in ‘frozen’ faces and huge lips.

In Britain, health officials are growing more concerned about the rising incidence of complications from Botox injections. While it is easier to access, it’s nothing that should be done casually. Same can be said for other cosmetic procedures. These injections definitely need to be approached with more care.

Before getting Botox or any cosmetic surgery, one should research about it. If possible, you should consult more than one professional regarding the procedure.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, Feb 06, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) — Beach Marketing reports “what’s trending” on the Internet. A Friday television appearance when the acclaimed Dr. Oz made an example of a 55 year old woman in Times Square has shed new light on an ingredient one company has pioneered since 2009.

Taking his following to the Jumbotron in New York City, the popular Dr. Oz made an example of a guest named Diana. Dr. Oz challenged viewers by polling them asking for guesses as to her age. With her image plastered everywhere, the results were made final. The viewers rationed that her age was 53. The sad part of the story is that Diana is only 44 years young.

When it all boiled down, Diana told Dr. Oz she thinks “her eyes are what make her look old.” Not being able to afford a facelift, Diana accepted the fact she looked older than she actually is. Dr. Oz offered up an ingredient called Argireline.

Argireline is a needle free ingredient used in the best skin creams and serums that “works just like Botox.” The doctor suggests it should be a featured ingredient in the skin creams, extolling its virtues and a recommended concentration is 5-10%.

A company well known for pioneering the use of Argireline and other laboratory-tested ingredients is Skin Pro. Makers of the market-leading Elite Serum, Skin Pro have been educating consumers about Argireline and its anti wrinkle effects since 2009.

“We’ve used Argireline in several of our anti wrinkle products and are a major importer of cosmeceutical products,” stated Skin Pro CTO Richard Banks. “Our laboratory has been at the forefront of blending peptides together to make the best skin rejuvenation creams and daily maintenance products for healthier skin. We owe a lot of our success to the makers of Argireline as it’s been a lynchpin in many of our formulas that help our customers look younger,” added Banks.

In addition to the best selling Elite Serum, Skin Pro has a pending patent for a cold-activated skin cream. The company continues to build its line of boutique skin products from its South Florida location.
