I have done it! I did it for the first time in November when I was going to Paris for my birthday (I wanted to look my best) I even did the Zoom! Whitening thing.

Now it's been what.. 8 months and I have noticed that my face fell back into place. I have to go do it pronto!!!! I don't know what the heck is stopping me because it's within walking distance to my house! Humm... maybe the 400 bucks is the problem! Ah! I'm going to make it in next week.

I am between 30-35 and I must say I was such a difference when I got the "Bo T" as my daughter calls it. My doctor (I went to a dermatologist) injected the Bo T very tastefully. I decided on it because I was starting to droop in both my eye lid area and had this line in between my eyebrow area that looked like I had cleavage on my forehead! :roflmfao: After she was done I felt NOTHING it was weird because I was expecting to feel like a frozen sausage. I was still able to move my face and forehead normally the whole time. Within a few days I saw such a change! I had an instant brow lift (I miss this so much! I better get in there) my brow cleavage was gone and my whole face looked firmer! It's been 8 months and I didn't have any side affects no headaches nothing. I love this stuff! I'm definitely going to do it again and would recommend it to EVERYONE!

Good luck Bagfetish. I haven't gone in 10 mos and lines are back. Not bad, but back. I made an appt. 9/3 w/new place, Hopefully it will be less expensive. What I would like to know is what everyone else pays/how many cc's? Last place was $460 each time but this was a spa and I think pricey. This new place didn't have an opening until September and seems to be more a dr's office, not a spa.

See, $360, isn't as bad as the $460 I paid! This is your first time? It does work wonders, I can't wait to go back. I found it's wasn't instantaneous though, took a few days.

A couple of weeks ago I paid approx. $900 for a combination of Botox and Restylane. I don't know what each individual charge was, but I had it done by a cosmetic surgeon so it may have been pricier, IDK. At any rate, I was pleased and will go back to her again.

My dermatologist had been doing it, but I don't think she was as talented with the injections as the new surgeon was.

I had Botox, for the first time, 3 weeks ago. I had it done by my PS who has done fillers on me. I am alot older than most of you gals. While I loved the fillers I do not like the Botox. Rather than lifting my eyebrows a bit (not the Jack Nickelson look) My eyes and lid drooped...went right back to PS. I quess I have a shorter muscle on the top of the forehead that is causing the trouble...didn't take like it should have. He said it would get better and it has...but. He has "done" all my girlfriends, with great sucess, so I may not be the best candidate. I'm opting for an eye lift with a mini brow lift (same incision in the crease of the eye). Never have to have Botox again. Next week I'm having two types of fillers injected EVERYWHERE below the nose and in the hollow of the eyes. I think they call it "face sculpting". Wish me luck!!!

Thanks, darling, for asking. Well, I had the injections done. 2 HOURS!!! The poor PS had guite a job. I'm still swolen and black/blue. CAR CRASH! :graucho:
The undereye hollows are still bruised, too early to tell. All around the mouth, nasal folds, and jawline are healing and the swelling has gone down. Better then it was, but still a few wrinkles. He injectected above/below my lip...gave me my pout back. This I like. PS said it takes 3 months for the full effect. I guess your own collegen gets stimulated where the injections are made. Who knows? If it takes the deep wrinkles out and lifts the face a bit...I'll be happy. Can't expect miracles, I'll never be 39 again...but maybe 40! :roflmfao::roflmfao::roflmfao:

I love it! I had it done on the "11" lines between my eyebrows and it was the best money spent. I need to do it again but just don't have the extra money right now.
