Botox is a cosmetic solution to having wrinkles, fine lines, or even slightly aged and sagging skin. The way this cosmetic treatment works is this: the skin is injected where wrinkles and fine lines exist, thus making the muscles that control that part of the face relax. If the muscles cannot move, they cannot form new wrinkles, at least temporarily, and the results are smoother skin areas and a potentially more youthful-looking face.

You can get this type of cosmetic treatment at various locations, including your local plastic surgeon's office, local spas and salons that have licensed professionals able to perform Botox, and in private clinics. Only get these injections under the watchful care of a professional, and never attempt to do them at home on your own or via someone who isn't licensed.

You can get Botox prior to your upcoming vacation and feel great about your results. Here's why you should consider it.

You get beautiful results with little downtime

If you get plastic surgery to achieve the results you want for a vacation, which is smoother skin that looks healthy and vibrant, you have a lot of downtime to heal and have scarring, bruising, and swelling heal before your trip. Not so with having muscle-freezing injections for wrinkles; other than some slight injection site bruising, which isn't common with every patient, you can be ready to go on your vacation with a fresh and invigorated face in less than a few days.

You get functional benefits that other cosmetic treatments don't provide

Are you worried about sweating through your favorite shirts while on vacation? Are you concerned that your stress migraines caused by planning your vacation may plague you the entire time you're traveling? Botox is used in the armpits and other known sweat areas, such as the hands and feet, to help reduce sweating and make a person feel more in control of their sweat glands.

The same wrinkle-reducing solution for skin can also be applied to migraine sufferers, helping block the debilitating nerve pain that can make you feel weak and in pain. Talk to your cosmetic surgeon or Botox specialist about the alternative ways that this injected solution can be applied so your vacation not only leaves you feeling refreshed but like a whole new person as well. Injections are usually charged per unit used, averaging about $550 nationally per treatment. If you want injections in areas other than your face, speak to your specialist about your options.
