Anyone had botox?

[Joeve]

I am a beauty therapist and I would only get it done at cosmetic dr seen and heard lots of horror stories- just my opinion please don't anyone shoot me down. I usually have brow and side of eyes done and it cost around $380 to $420 depending on how many units... I can't remember how many he uses. I am hopefully getting more soon if I don't get utd which I would prefer lol

Yeah, I don't think I'd want someone who wasn't a Dr to be sticking needles in me.

Turks, I think your eyes must be getting old. that's why you're looking so great - your eyeballs are the only part of you that's aging.

My friend is a beauty therapist and I was bouncing some questions off her about it.
She said that although botox is great for preventing and to help minimise lines, it wont help with the already there deep frown lines.
For that you would need a filler first, like restalin(sp)

I have a horrible deep vertical frown line between my eyebrows that seems to grow everynight around dinner and bedtime

I reckon I should write my own parenting book about THE TRUE costs of having children including all the plastic surgery and beauty therapy prices in the index!

I just did a search on Botox because I'm getting wrinkly (very) around the outer edges of my eyes.

Onyx, did you get it done? If so, how was it?

Does anyone know if it actually makes the lines disappear permanently with prolonged treatment?

I don't want to look like Nicole Kidman.

yep, I've got one ( or two) of those deep lines between my eyebrows too, good to know not to waste money on botox if it in't going to help.

Wish I'd listened to my mum who kept telling me when i was a kid to stop frowning!!

It minimises the frown lines but they're still there (if you look for them).
It will also stop them getting much deeper.
