According to a recent study sponsored by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Botox’s popularity is waning with more women than ever saying no to the wrinkle-busting injections.

The study states that in 2007, Botox injections dropped by 15% over 2006 figures despite the number of cosmetic surgery procedures increasing by 2% over the same period. Botox amongst men also increased by 10% over the same time frame implying that women are turning their backs on Botox.

However, not everyone believes the figures are correct Allegran, the makers of Botox, have said that they doubt the claim that Botox popularity is declining, and some other organisations have also expressed doubts over the figures.

There are a few reasons why Botox popularity may be waning the most prevalent factor is the current economic climate. With people becoming increasingly worried about their finances, and with levels of personal debt increasing, some are cutting back on non-essential expenses which include things such as Botox.
