There's a new substitute for getting rid of facial wrinkles. It's called NO-TOX and it has some advantages over Botox. For one, the treatment lasts two years rather than the three or four months for Botox. Another advantage is that it does not involve injecting a toxic material into your face.

NO-TOX, or 'Glabellar Furrow Relaxation' (GFX) was approved for cosmetic use about six months ago in the U.S. But while Botox temporarily freezes nerves, GFX uses radio frequency waves really knock them out. This sounds kinda creepy to us, we're not sure if it's better to be frozen temporarily or knocked out possibly for life. See the excellent introduction to GFX pros and cons at the Daily Mail.
