I'm young, but I work(ed) in the industry. I had a few units put in my forehead just to try it. Great results can be achieved if injected properly. And to answer the question about pain, it doesn't hurt. It feels like a tiny shot. I am really comfortable around needles, but they bother some people.

Just had my first treatment on Friday and the results are starting to show now. It was kinda a split decision to try it. I had been thinking about it and took the plunge at the dermatologist . I was just going in for my routine check , but I will be 39 in September and am beginnning to see changes no doubt to my sun-worshipping teens and twenties.

Wow, Wow, Wow- is all I can say. I cannot stop stealing peaks in the rear view mirror because I cannot believe I am in the sun and squinting and there are very few lines! WHoohoo. I cannot wait 'til it really settles in and begins to work which I heard is about 7 days.

I definitely plan on keeping up this beauty regimen. I was planning on trying it between the brows for my "scowl" but doc suggested also under the eye area to help with my "laugh lines" and oh my gosh, it is seriously a huge difference.

I have not told my husband yet ( or anyone else for that matter) - I need to let the income tax payment get off his mind- so I just payed for it out of my personal stash. I will eventually tell him because I want him to pay for it. I paid $425, and since it lasts about 4 months or so, that average of $100 a month is certainly worth it to me because I already feel so much better it is ridiculous.

This is somewhat of a rant, but I wish my botox lasted 4 months like promised. I guess , it's individual based but the most it lasted for me was about 9 weeks and already after 6 weeks I was noticing lines coming back. By two months they are almost back to where they used to be.

I go in every 6 weeks now, yes, it's an expensive regimen, but to me worth much more than all the clothes and handbags I used to buy.

I'm about to try Botox for the first time soon. I will be going out of town 5 days later. Will it take effect or be swollen before I leave? I'm also going to try juvaderm for lips.

I heard Botox can take up to two weeks to take effect?

Ok, this might be a silly question and I didn't search this thread for an answer. I know...bad of me.. :lecture:
I have 2 lines coming out under my eyes in the soft, thin area. Can you botox this area or will it cause droop with the eye?

It can, but usually I see results within a matter of a couple days. The botox area won't be swolen per se, but the lip area where the filler will be injected might be.

I'm 34 (35 in 2 weeks) and just got my first injection this weekend. I love it so far! I got dysport instead of botox because of the rebate. I had my glabellar lines injected for prevention since I have a subconscious tendency to scowl and furrow my brows a little and I started noticing ridges in that area visible in direct sunlight. I had a mild headache for several hours after but it went away and after 2 days it really settled in. I can still scowl just not as much or as easily as before.

Has anyone compared botox to dysport? What differences if any did you notice?
