I know people who love the way Botox takes away the frown wrinkle between their eyes, but the cost and inconvenience of repeated treatments is a problem, what are the alternatives?
An exciting alternative to repeated botox treatments is SEWS(Selective Endoscopic Wrinkle Treatment). Here, we use a scope as in knee cartilage surgery to visualize the over- active muscles and thin them out. This can soften the appearance of glabella (between the eyes) lines and bulges with minimal downtime (7-10 days). The result can last 5-15 years. How you use botox depends on your goals. While some people seek treatment every 3-4 months to maintain immobility of certain facial areas, others prefer a more subtle weakening of expression wrinkles. The visual improvement of botox can last long after its weakening has worn off. Thus, some people treat every 6-9 months. Using botox is like hitting the reset button. This way, we can hold aging at bay.
