Abstract

A positive attitude toward life at any age is now seen to be consistent with inclusion in all societal activities. A mere increase in years is no longer enough reason for "ageism." Botulinum Toxin (Botox) aesthetic treatments, because of their outstanding effectiveness and safety, can continue to play a positive role in the rebuttal of "ageism."
