Botox - Anyone done it?

[Purses]

Out of curiosity, what is the weird feeling? is it a restriction of movement?
I'd do botox later in life, but I have some weird clausterphobia, so if that's the case it would most likely drive me crazy.

I think botox gives you the forgetfullnes of making a facial expression. I call them negative facial expresion. This is the best way to describe it from my experience. I did find that I got a headache when I had strong emotion of anger and tried to make a facial expression and it would not work.

I just wanted to say that I went for a follow up with botox and I think I was overcharged. I don't know how many units I got, but I paid $440.00 and I remember paying less in the past.

When I went the receptionist said that eventully treatments can be stopped. Something along the point that Purses said - about not making the expressions. I don't know how true that is though. About the testing on animals, I did not know that either.

I have had it done many times but by a plastic surgeon. I would not go to just anyone to have it done and I love the results!!! I feel it is also preventitive.

Thank you for the info. I was not aware of this, and it is always good to be well-informed before making any decisions.

ITA. What source told you that they inject it into animals?

This is fact, just to be clear, not something something someone told me randomly. One of the many reliable sources, the Human Society of America: http://www.hsus.org/animals_in_research/animal_testing/the_beauty_myth_botox_kills_animals/

But again, I don't this to turn into a bashing Botox thread. It's everyone's individual choice.

Thanks, IS. I will take a look.

I am so in love with botox that Im afraid I can not turn back now. Im going to stay uninformed Im afraid. I can not imagine my face without all the botox and restelyne at this point in my life.

Anyone have experience or with any other dermatology treatments?

Not willing to ever do plastic surgery.

This 40 thing really stinks.

I've been getting Botox and Restylane for a few years for my forehead wrinkles, the creases between my eyebrows and my marionette lines.

I look happier since I'm not inadvertently frowning and the look is so natural that I doubt anyone suspects it.

i've used botox in the past and love it. i haven't gotten it recently becuase i been to lazy to go to dr's office.
advice: ask around and see if anyone you know gets it, becuase a good dr makes all the difference, i've tried a different dr once and i didn't think i had as good results from my regular dr!

I'm 35 and have had botox twice, once last Sep then again in Dec. I'm a believer!

I am 35 and when i get it look 25 lol. I can show you pics of me when I had it done. It seriously works and not that painful. I need to go get it done again been a while.

Hmm. Thanks guys. I try to take care of my skin but this is the first year I noticed wrinkles at the laugh lines. I want them to be gone! Now that I had kids, I also noticed darkness under my eyes.

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm 35 and I'm planning to get it done, but I haven't yet. I gotta stop these little lines around my eyes NOW!

I'm 48 and went twice so far. Right before my 48th bday and 4 mos. later. It's been just about 5 mos. and still working. I recommend it! The first time didn't hurt at all. The second time it did a little. It's expensive but I don't use a lot of fancy, expensive items as far as skincare. I've streamlined that a lot as most of that stuff irriated by skin anyway. So the botox is my splurge - better than any skincare item!
