People in general are always on the look out for resources to keep them looking younger and more beautiful longer. Non-surgical cosmetic procedures are one of those options. This is a list of the most well known procedures available, the cost and possible complications and what benefits you will rec 
eive from said procedure.
The most well known non-surgical procedure that comes to mind is botox injections. Botox is a potent poison, a diluted form of botulism, that is injected to targeted areas of the face paralyzing muscles thus reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This procedure is relatively painless and the affects are virtually immediate and last for approximately 4 to 6 months before having to repeat the injections. The cost on average is $350.00 per session. There are no symptomatic side affects associated with Botox injections.
Restylane is another form of non surgical cosmetic procedure. Restylane is an injection that consists of natural collagen which is injected into moderate to severe wrinkles and into the facial folds, such as around the nose and mouth to smooth and restore a more youthful appearance. The results of restylane are immediate and the affects will last from 6 months to a year. Side effects are pain, swelling, tenderness, redness and bruising that will diminish within one week. The price for restylane injections average around $500.00 but is considered a value due to the long lasting effects.
Fat injections are another alternative as a non surgical cosmetic procedure. In this procedure fat is obtained from another part of the body such as the buttocks or abdomen and then injected into the deep wrinkles such as frown lines or can also be injected into the lips to replace diminished fullness. This is an excellent alternative as it is non allergenic, all natural and the effects can last a few months to indefinitely. The average cost of fat injection can be expensive upwards from $3000.00.
