Botox alternative with better longevity

Brett Kotlus answers: What are the best Botox alternatives?

Not so sure I want to try Botox.  Are there good alternatives that will help me get rid of wrinkles on my forehead the same way Botox does?

A longer lasting alternative to Botox is GFX, which is a radiofrequency procedure that lasts approximately 1 year or more. This is due to ablation of the nerves which cause muscular contraction of the glabella (corrugator, procerus, depressor supracillii). Only one treatment is required.
