Yes it can, I got it two weeks ago for the first time and the horizontal lines on my forehead are completely gone. I got the effect I wanted, he managed to arch my eyebrows and get my eyes to open more. I'm 34 and now I wish I started 5 years ago.

^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.

I got a headache too after my first dysport session. It was a very mild one and lasted only an hour or two. Then it went away. I think it was the dysport because I don't usually get headaches.

Recently I have really been considering it for my forehead. I'm nervous though because I don't want that surprised look some people get from the forehead injections and I'm having to convince dh who is very much against it. My derm does it in her office and we both see her I'm thinking I may ask her to tell him it will all turn out fine.

Dont be scared of botox - so many people think you are going to have a permanant 'deer in the headlights' kind of look but you wont. A good doctor will know how much to use and mine is wonderful. She will always use is sparingly and if its not enough i pop back an few days/week later for a little top up.

When you think botox you think of celebs who cant move there face. Regular people having botox never seem to look like that!! I promise you will be ok.

I almost always get a headache afterwards, but I am prone to headaches. I know it doesn't happen to everyone. I still take an ibuprofen or excedrin if needed to get rid of it.
Also if you happen to be one of those that get the "surprised" look. Just go back within 10-14 days and have them adjust it. It can be relaxed more, if you don't like that much of a "lift"

I have been thinking about it for 1 pesky little line that has begun to show up on my forehead. I didn't realize that botox gives a lifted look however. Many of you have mentioned the lift effect, does this happen to everyone? I though botox simply relaxed the muscle?

I was also curious if botox works on laugh lines? Or are fillers used to fix those? Thanks for any advice! :smile1:

Lift effect does not happen to everyone. I had nothing like that at all. No one would even know I did anything but I know because lines have lessened tremendously. It was no NOT painful I realize now I worried for nothing. I will definitely do it again in a few months.

Afternoon Princess, Sorry but i am about 100 miles out of London. I am really lucky to have a lady in Woodbridge, Suffolk if you are ever this way! I bet she is much cheaper than the london salons too!
