I have been getting Botox every 3-4 months for about 2 years. This last time was the first time I needed less and had less muscle movement going in. Wrinkles are caused by muscle memory, if you can't make the wrinkle, by frowning or squinting you won't have a wrinkle to get rid of. So I can say that I see how time goes by you won't need more Botox, you'll need less although you might need it in different places. Unfortunately I couldn't get the filler I wanted around my mouth due to some emergency dental work I needed, now I have to wait till Feb!
I also have done Botox. Then I have switched to Dysport it seems to last longer for me between 4-5 months and sometimes they run a speacial buy one area get the second free or they do a $50.00 rebate or both!! has any one tried the Oro Gold Bionics it is suppose to be work on wrinkles so as not to have to get botox.It is a little spendy but doesn't cost as much as Botox.
would love to know if any one has info.:wondering

Because my dermo is so darn busy that was the next appointment she had. I got in earlier, Dec, for Botox because after the first time they can get you in and out pretty quick. I'm on a cancelation list. Maybe I'll get lucky.Why do they want you to wait so long?
Has anyone used Botox for excessive sweating? I am 30 and while I have some fine lines my annoyance is really I sweat on my face which causes irritation and embarrassment to me since people constantly ask me if I am okay! Any advice would be appreciated!
I don't get botox for headaches, but I did have a headache for at least a couple of weeks after getting it the first time. Eventually, I felt better and the next time I got botox I didn't get any headaches, but they certainly are a side-effect of the injections.
Hoping you feel better, soon!
I just started botox for my TMJ/teeth grinding. I get it in my jaw and it's supposed to help relax the jaw and keep me from grinding and clenching as much. I've been grinding my teeth my whole life, have tried several night guards and this was recommended by my dentist (I'm literally grinding my enamel off). My neurologist thinks the grinding may also make my migraines worse so we are hoping it helps with those. I had no idea what to expect but it didn't hurt at all. I didn't have any visual change (though it's my jaw so I didn't expect anything---this wasn't done for wrinkles). But I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this helps a little bit.
I get a dull headache for the first few days after wards. Not too bad, but I do notice it. I got Botox last time, and this time tried Dysport. I see no difference, really like both!
I have gotten Botox and now get Dysport. I love it! For me it lasts 6 months. The first day I do get a little bit of a headache but it goes away immediately. You are not supposed to exercise the day that you get the injections and you are supposed to keep your head elevated (don't lie down for the first 4 hours and if you do just put extra pillows). . .
it's called the "botox headache" for about a few days after (or shorter, depending on the person) you usually have a dull ache where it was injected in your forehead
Just had it done for the first time. Having a dull headache that comes and goes for the last 3 days. So far just noticing a slight relaxing of the muscles and a little feeling of "numbing" just between the brows that comes and goes. Brows look a bit lifted, furrow a bit smoother already.
I only got the brow area done this time because I didn't know how it would take. Rather get a touch up in a couple weeks than look overdone.
