Botox alternatives
Botox isn’t for everyone especially if you are (a) scared of needles, (b) fear a frozen celebrity face, or (c) can’t get past that Botox is derived from botulism. Let the search for a Botox alternative begin! If you are looking to smooth your facial lines and, let’s face it, look younger there are all sorts of skin care products and botox alternatives, including collagen injections, hyaluronic acid fillers (such as Restylane), intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments, and laser therapy.
