Is this an alternative to quarterly Botox injections?
We know that Botox works, not just for removing wrinkles but even for treating excessive sweating, scar treatment, and depression. One big problem - every couple of months you have to go back to the cosmetic surgeon for some more. Good for a plastic surgeon's wallet, but not for you. Apart from the pain of the needles, the cost becomes too high.
But what if there was a permanent Botox treatment?
Sounds too good to be true but cosmetic surgeons in Brazil, where some of the cutting edge research happens, have developed a procedure in which they simply remove the muscle that causes the wrinkles to appear in the first place.
You should be able to recover in about 2-4 weeks and it can be done either as a standalone procedure or as part of a facelift. The only risk that you need to be aware of is that it is a permanent procedure and it is not known what will happen 10-20 years later. (Related: Alternatives to plastic surgery)
