A guide to popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures Botox, collagen, peels and the rest - what are they, and how much do they cost

While some non-surgical cosmetic procedures are seen as benign, the truth is that all have some form of risk attached to them, and many are seriously costly. The more popular cosmetic procedures are the ones seen to be more cost-effective; partly because they are less painful and heal quicker; and partly because of the end result. These include the following:

  • Botox injections
  • Collagen injections
  • Chemical peels
  • Microderm abrasion
  • Muscle shock treatments

Botox Injections

Botox injections continue to be popular among certain individuals who don’t believe that skin treatments will make a big enough difference in their fine lines and wrinkles. Most people are now aware that botox is a derivative of botulism, a highly toxic poison than can be deadly in certain situations. Botox is injected underneath the skin of wrinkled areas to paralyze the underlying muscles, flattening out the covering skin to give a smoother appearance.
