Botox has been said to turn back the hands of time, but what else is important to know about this popular minimally invasive procedure?

Cosmetic surgery, nip and tuck, plastic surgery – whatever you choose to call it, minimally invasive procedures like injections of botulinum toxin type A, also referred to as Botox, are everywhere. And when celebrities, influencers and your neighbor down the street are somehow able to defy the signs of aging, it can make you wonder... how are they doing that and what is Botox?

Ask any aesthetic plastic surgeon what the most popular treatment on their menu is in terms of cosmetic procedures and they will almost unanimously say Botox. So, it's no surprise that in the Inaugural ASPS Insights and Trends Report, Botox was at the top of the list for minimally invasive procedures patients sought out in 2021 and 2022 – which is right on par with the 10 years prior.
