21 is not too young. I've seen a lot of people in that range that have terrible furrows already. They need to prevent them from getting deeper. Plus it helps with acne. And a lot of the younger ones that get it done have acne.
And it has improved.
I prefer botox over dysport. I've used both.
My magic day to "kick in" is day 4 or 5, but it could take up to 14 days

Ok I'm back from getting it done.

I am shocked that it really did not hurt at all. He said it would feel like little bee stings but I have to say it really did not. The actual injections probably took 5 minutes. My appointment was 1:15 and I was home by 1:30. I was told not to lie down for 3 hours and do not put ice on it or make up for several hours. Hopefully I will see results within 2 weeks.

I will keep you posted! Today my lower forehead area is still slightly tender and ever so slightly puffy. It's not visibly noticeable, but I can feel it when I run my fingers over the area. I'm still waiting for the success, but then again, it's only been one day.... hurry, hurry, I'm becoming impatient!!

Boston girl, you know what stinks? I should have had my eye brows waxed BEFORE I did it. Now I'm told I should wait 2 weeks. Oh well. Next time I know to have it done a day or 2 before.

Snibor, I forgot to mention that my dr. told me to keep moving my face around for 4 hours after the injections. Like the movements that caused the wrinkles in the first place. She says that if you do that, it could be possible to see results in less than 3-7 days. It looks silly, but I did it as much as I could.

Well he said I could wax under the eyebrow not in between the eyes but the nurse said I should really wait 2 weeks to do the center, etc. I looked on-line too and it seems most dr.s says wait 2 weeks before waxing so the botox settles.

My face looks fine this morning--No one would notice. I still have the wrinkle I want to disappear but that should hopefully go (or lessen) within a week or 2.

HE said I should see a noticeable difference right after Christmas

I remember having my first Botox session and every morning i would rush to the mirror expecting to see someone different staring back! My DR has a different brand of Botox what works within 2-3 days wish is great. I really need a top up but i havent had the £££ as my horse has had an expensive month. Boooo. I hate wrinkles!!!

sally.m so true! I keep looking in the mirror hoping to see a difference. Nothing much yet. Two days a few hours, and counting!

Uhg, snibor, we might have to wait until Christmas for results!?!

(fitting, since my SO got me this treatment for Christmas... gosh, how sick is that?!!)

Maybe I will, in 15 years or so...
I'm 20, but some lines have developed in my forehead over the past few years.
They have lessened because I decided to teach myself to move my forehead as little as possible.... but still, they're there - so I'll probably be a victim of forehead wrinkles.

I already take good care of my skin, and I'm rarely in the sun - so it's really genetic.

I think a lot of it is genetic, ByeKitty. That, and the stresses that come with living in general. If you're taking good care of your skin now, you're farther ahead than probably a lot of us were when we were 20!!

Hmm, it's interesting he told you to move as much as possible, I remember my doc saying not to move it and not to press the ice pack on it either too hard. He even told me not to work out for a few hours afterwards !

I usually see results in 2-7 days but I go often enough so that my wrinkles don't relax fully.

My nurse told me to move my forehead too. She told me to do it as often as I could. She told me not to lay down (or is it lie?) for 3 hours after my injection and she told me not to rub it.
