I started at 25 on my 25th birthday. I know a lot of people will argue it's too early but honestly it's about a personal preference. I get minimal amount and a couple lines that I had no longer exist - more so overall, when I compare side by side pictures of me 2-3 years ago and now I can confidently say I look better and younger. My features softened up. Some of my friends - we are in our 26-28 age group have pretty deep wrinkles and they are only getting worse.

42 and I just did it for the 1st time and only on forehead. I have to say its only in the last year or 2 that I noticed the wrinkles in forehead and it bothered me.

Stay out of the sun ladies--its bad for the wrinkles!

If you don't mind me asking what age did you all who use botox begin?

Mid 30's is when I started..Im in my late 40's now..
I had really bad frown lines developing,
they disappeared after the first treatment.
About avery 5 months I get it in my forehead (lifts brows) and frownlines..
sometimes crows feet.

It's one beauty treatment that I will never give up..

I say, to each her/his own. If you feel like you need it, get it! It's been 5 days since my first treatment and I'm delighted. She went really easy on me and I can still notice a difference. It's subtle, but I know it's working and it makes me happy! I hate looking in the mirror at that darn furrow... it was like the furrow itself was causing me to fret and deepen my furrow even more!

I can't say I can even feel the Botox's presence in my muscles. As I said, her application was minimal, and after 7 days I go back to see her. We'll then decide whether I need and more.

Oh!! I also have two nasty scars above both eyebrows from an accident. She said she can help make those disappear too! I suppose with fillers or something.

I just scheduled an appointment for January 28!! I'm nervous and excited! :D

I think my best girlfriend is going with me because she is interested in getting it done too (she'll just watch)... We are both 42.

^Not to worry! I was so nervous and honestly I could not believe how painLESS it was. No bruising, no pain, nothing. You just can't lie down for a few hours.

I have to say the wrinkles I wanted to disappear did not go away 100% but it is much better. I am definitely going to do it again in a few months and I may even ask about filler in addition to botox.

Good luck--I'm sure you will be fine.

I love botox! I do it 2x's a year and I need it freshen up...I am considering it around the crows feet area but am scared. The botox has an extra bonus for me; it helps my migraines a bit too. I did try dysport but it wore off much faster than botox.

^b careful because i had it done for this first time and got a WICKED headache as a result that has lasted WEEKS(Google side effects and u will see its common!)
But I have to say i love the result.eyebrows look more raised and the creases between my eyes are way lighter(Im 40 and just did between eyes for first time)

^You got a headache afterwards? I currently get botox injections 1-2x's a year and never had a head ache from it,...it actually helps prevent my migraines. I am just scared of the results around the eyes, the crows feet area.
