Where Botox is heading in the next five years?

Every medical procedure has evolved from a progressive past to come under practice owing to their certain benefits. When it comes to aesthetic medicine, we see a lot of people looking to improve their looks by having procedures which may pose potential health risks. Health governing authorities such as NHS in the UK have made regulations that guide cosmetic doctors on practising those cosmetic treatments. New studies and researches are being conducted to uncover more impacts on how new techniques can provide further impact in our lives. That’s what happening in present, but what future holds, one can only speculate by analysing current happenings and trends.

Botox emerged as a number-one remedy for anti-wrinkle treatment about two decades ago. Later on, the world saw Botox as a healer. Major health organizations approved Botox as a medical solution for bruxism and temporomandibular jaw disorder. As years went by, Botox came into practice for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and proved to be an amazing alternative to existing treatments. Its aesthetic blessing didn’t seize to end as it was approved as an alternative to surgical jaw reduction. Moreover, blepharospasm and migraine were also added to the list of issues which Botox can resolve. We could possible see new and improved uses of Botox.

Medical science never stops its quest for more. We are looking whether Botox can be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women as it is still under research whether the injection of botulinum toxin affects the newborn.

We could possibly cure cancer with Botox, as it has been observed that the nerve signal-inhibiting phenomenon of Botox along with vagotomy can provide a relief to one to gastric tumerogenesis.
We could be looking to minimize unwanted complications that couple with Botox’s wonder results. One of the most annoying of those effects includes the ‘frozen’ face, an aftermath of bad Botox which makes facial expressions rather stunted. We might not see those frozen faces anymore.

Botox promises to be more beneficial in the future. In the next five years or so, we might be able to see lots of improvements in the remedy that improves our wrinkles.
