New Botox Alternative

03/15/2009 by Anil R. Shah, MD

The lastest botox alternative offering a needle free chance at aging gracefully is Freeze 24-7, and Freeze & Go. This product contains GABA a muscular relaxing agent which claims to soften your lines, highlight your bone structure and shrink pores. While it may indeed be a great product , any product which claims to work by relaxing muscles in the form of a topical, should raise the eye of skeptiscism.

A study ws conducted and demonstrated reduction of fine lines. Again, any dermatologic study sponsored by a cosmetic company always needs to be examined closely.

Botox is the best treatment in facial aging and maintenance. The way it is injected, at least in my practice is pain free, without bruising, swelling and even ice. Patients are ready to go in public in 5 minutes after the procedure.

Here is a little Math for those interested in any product which is the Cost/Benefit Ratio. This product costs $65 for 10 ml which should last one month. For 4-6 months of use of the product, the cost would be $260-490 which does not really save money over botox. The product needs to be applied daily which does not save time over botox. It is not going to rejuevnate as effectively as botox. But it may be a useful adjunct to Botox not a replacement.
