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:
