BOTOX® (Botulinum Toxin A)
Botox treatment in the UK and Botox alternatives have undisputedly become the most popular of all cosmetic procedures, with well over 4 million patients choosing it every year. Botox is expensive and only celebrities such as Demi Moore, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Aniston can afford these treatments. Average income people prefer cost-effective Botox alternatives.
Botox treatments and Botox alternatives help people to look younger and revitalise the skin. These treatments involve injecting a refined form of Botulinum Toxin A that helps block nerve impulses that normally cause a muscle to contract. Botox alternatives on the other hand are safer and involve no painful and risky chemicals to be injected in the skin. If you go for Botox treatment in the UK, it results in an absence or reduction of muscle contraction, which leaves the skin looking comparatively smoother, lending a more relaxed appearance to your facial features.
Botox alternatives do not penetrate in the skin and work by safe electric pulses that relax and condition facial features. They are also very inexpensive unlike Botox treatment in the UK where you have to spend about £300 per session on a regular basis. The effects of these treatments are also temporary and a single session lasts up to 2-3 months. In a single year on an average – you would spend over £1200 – an exorbitant amount by any stretch of the imagination. This treatment is therefore unviable for an average person and most people look for Botox alternatives.
Many people opted for Botox alternatives after Jenny Driscoll, a health campaigner at the consumer watchdog ‘Which?’ stated, “People tend to think that procedures such as Botox and dermal fillers are safer than plastic surgery because they are quick and don’t involve an operation...however, when it comes to non-invasive procedures like Botox, there is no single body you can go to for information, and rule-breaking often goes unchecked.”
Botox treatments also have alarmingly large number of side effects. The list of hazardous side-effects includes, but is not limited to:
- Eyelid droop
- Nausea
- Double Vision
- Eye twitching
- Redness of the skin
- Muscle weakness
- Anaphylactic shock
Botox alternatives on the other hand have no side effects and can be safely used by adult men and women to prevent as well as treat wrinkles and other signs of ageing. These alternatives have earned reputation of being a safer and non-invasive procedure because of the danger a person is exposed to when he chooses Botox treatment in the UK. Many people now believe that Botox treatments are unsafe, unnecessary and expensive procedures and are looking for Botox alternatives.
There are many Botox alternatives that are non-invasive as well as effective. Safetox is one such alternative. It is a new anti-ageing skin care electronic device that deals with the cause of winkles and has been medically proven. Functioning at the muscular level, Safetox is extremely effective and reduces wrinkles as well as the ageing process. This device helps relax the muscles to alter the balance between the tissues. It is also without any side effects and activates the muscles that are needed for the existence of a youthful skin. Safetox works deeper at the rear of the head, which is responsible for opening up the face, giving a facelift effect.
This Botox alternative is worn on the forehead before it generates special electric impulses that inhibit the muscles in the central and upper part of the face, inducing relaxation. At the same time, the impulses from this therapy activate the posterior muscles to assume a dominant role, pulling back the ears and the skin of the forehead. Safetox helps open up the face and reduce tension lines and wrinkles.
