There had been numerous opinions regarding Botox. Some would not prefer such because they are scared since they are not really comfortable in injecting such medication a few inches from their brain, for them they think that it might be injuring their brain. Still others, doesn’t like the idea of being stuck in one position for months. Others, who have tried it, aren’t satisfied with the results for the reason that the effect of this medication injected to them doesn’t last long enough.
However, despite many negative comments, rest assured that Botox really does work. It’s just that various people have placed different expectations for this treatment. When these expectations are not met, they get easily frustrated and blame the product for not working as it supposed to be. This is the reason why people who have used Botox have begun to look for Botox treatments. There are many choices for these people. The alternative choices made available to the public are the following: face lift, laser re-surfacing, brow lift, collagen injections, facial fillers and injectable fillers. They are discussed further as we go along.
Before the Botox begun, there was face lift. They share the common goal with face lift. The face lift will only require surgery. The surgeon does the surgery. It will surgically pull and makes your skin tighter. It has the same results but it last much longer. This procedure is sometimes combined with laser re-surfacing to destroy the blemishes that are defiling the young appearance that you always wanted to have.
Aside from the face lift, there is also brow lift. The procedure is done in your forehead and brow. The same principle with using Botox is applied, that is to pull the sagging skin hence lifting the brow and forehead. Although it is not permanent, it will last longer than the Botox injection.
Just like the face and brow lift, another alternative can be the collagen injection, which has already been in the market for quite a while than that of Botox. They have been giving amazing results to people who had avail of it. They also made them much happier after attaining such results. What is done with the collagen is, through injection, it is injected into the person’s face where wrinkles are eminent. The skin is lifted and it smoothes out unwanted wrinkles. It makes you wrinkle free. However, this treatment doesn’t produce permanent treatment for your wrinkles, it last longer than the Botox treatment. An advantage to this is that it doesn’t use harmful or harsh toxins. It is uses also in conjunction with laser re-surfing, chemical peels which achieves a smoother and younger look.
Chemical peels and laser re-surfacing may be another option than Botox. But they rarely give results that most people are after, which is young, vagrant, and smooth skin.
Lastly, another alternative would be facial fillers and injectable fillers. It is safe and effective for filling in scars and wrinkles, rejuvenates your skin that has been sagging, and most importantly removing those lines.
