I promised myself after last time I would make my appts. every three months too. I stretched it out to four months last time, but honestly, I looked so tired and saggy!
Three months is the way to go!
i did it! its pretty cool. the lines had gone. the doc said i hardly had any but getting it now will mean that my forhead remains smooth for a long time. its weird how you cant move the muscles though!
will def get again.
will def get again.
I know it does feel weird how I can't move the outside of my eyes when I try to squint. Does anyone know if you can get it under your eyes though? The lines on the outsides are gone but now I see more underneath. I guess they are compensating for not being able to move on the outside.
I've been in this thread when it first started, i've never done the botox but go for my first appt thursday.
I dont have many lines on my forehead but would like to just smooth things and my brow.
I'm going to go for 25units in the brow area, and 6 in the forehead....
PLease tell me about your first time and how many units you use and how often?

funny you mention this,I go on thursday for a consult and i'm going to ask about this. It mentions on the doc website that many health plans pay for this .. I hope so because i will be trying it out.
That's about how many I use, last time it was 27 units. I go in about once every four months. The injections sting a little, but it's over very quickly. You'll be fine and very happy with the results.
I get this done and my health plan pays for it. It's great. No more sweating at all.
I'm 37 and many people say I look 30 at the most so I don't have reason to get botox on my face yet but when it's needed, I certainly will consider it.
I would love to try it for my horrendous migraines.
When you smile, do you crinkle up your eyes? If you do, you might need some shots on your cheeks. You can tell the doctor & they will address your needs accordingly.
I've been getting shots for about 18 mo, was almost 50. Love it!
LOL. People get Botox where they have lines from muscle movement -- i.e., on the forehead, or between the eyes. Botox literally freezes these muscles so, yes, it is temporary. It's my understanding, though, as time goes on, people often need fewer units and can get injected less frequently. I think this is generally because you basically don't try to make the expressions anymore that lead to the lines.
