Never Have Another Facial Expression Again with Permanent "Botox"

Filed under: Plastic Surgery

If you love your expression wrinkle free face, but hate paying out the nose for Botox every few months, then you'll love permanently ablating your facial nerves.

GFX is a novel subcutaneous lesion generation system utilizing bipolar radio frequency (RF) technology to target motor nerves, (nerves that initiate muscle action). An effective "nerve block" applied to the motor nerves initiating this muscle action has been shown to reduce or eliminate such action1.

GFX uses a patent pending combination of technologies to precisely locate bodily structures, and then apply therapeutic energy. A low intensity stimulator allows your physician to precisely locate the structure for treatment. Following location, a specific dose of RF energy is applied to effectively ablate a portion of the targeted structure. The application of a nerve block may leads to a reduction or elimination of muscle action.

Seriously though, could this be used for other medical conditions like Botox such as migraine treatments?

It could also be used to permanently treat another condition that Botox has recently been used for: teeth grinding, and the jaw fatigue and overly enlarged jaw muscles that sometimes develop from it.
