For those of us who wish to get rid of unwanted wrinkles to make our skin look a little younger there are other alternatives to going under the surgeon’s knife, the alternatives are a relatively pain free way of helping you feel better about yourself and also requires less recovery time than traditional cosmetic surgery. Most of them however do need to be used on a regular basis and a lot of them are expensive with some of the creams costing £170 and of course they need to be used on a regular basis to see results, which can work out very expensive.

The alternative face-lift, eyebrow lift or eyelift

Unlike the traditional cosmetic surgery involved when giving a face-lift, eyebrow lift or eyelift which all require a general anaesthetic you can gain the same benefits from these procedures with a combination of botox cosmetic injection and fillers. This procedure will normally take around an hour to complete and is virtually painless and depending on the type of filler used, the results can last for up to two years depending on the type of filler used in the injection.

Alternative chin and cheek augmentation

This type of alternative to the chin and cheek surgery involves the use of an injectable material that stimulates the body to produce more collagen, the area in which the injection is given thickens and softens which increases the volume and smoothes out creases and wrinkles.
