Botox Treatment is used widely as a muscle relaxing injection for wrinkles treatment. It is extremely effective skin treatment to change the appearance of wrinkles and deep lines. It also helps in preventing the formation of new lines as the treatment relaxes the facial muscles and reduces extra facial movements.

Anyone know how much botox injection usually cost in the US vs. in Korea or Taiwan?
I'm thinking of getting botox to shrink my jaw muscles and trying to figure out the most cost effective place to do it.
Advice appreciated

I'm under 30, and had my first treatment about a month ago. I'm very happy with the results, and it looks totally natural. I got it on my forehead for 11's and horizontal lines. They are completely gone now.
I would do it again in a heartbeat..I'm looking forward to my follow up in July.
Tip: Scrunch/wrinkle the injected area as much as possible immediately after. It helps the product settle better.My Dr. says sometimes they don't mention this to patients but should.

Ouch. That sounds painful. What is the desired effect from having injections under the eyes?
Actually Botox is not a "cosmetic surgery procedure". It is simply, an injection of botulism toxin placed into the muscles, thus "paralyzing" said muscles. It does not remove wrinkles and deep lines. It stops the muscles from forming wrinkles by not allowing the movements that create them, like frown lines for example. It may give the appearance of smoothing out existing wrinkles, but only because when contracted, those muscles under the skin no longer are able to produce a wrinkled appearance.

I think they usually use a filler like Juvaderm under your eyes, not Botox. I had mine done (it's called your tear troughs) but didn't really notice a difference. Seems like you get the same effect (or maybe a better one) by filling the marionette lines.
I get it under my eyes.. filler has a different effect. Botox isn't 'cleared' for under eye use so you have to really trust your injector. I go to one of the best
Mine is between $12-$15/unit.Anyone know how much botox injection usually cost in the US vs. in Korea or Taiwan?

I had 2 injections either in the corner or under each eye.I couldn't see exactly where. It didn't hurt ( the ice they used before the needle hurt more)
Also just wondering, I had my first treatment a month ago, and it's starting to wear off a bit.. my Dr. recommends coming back every three months, but should I go sooner? or maybe ask for more next time? He used 43 units for forehead and eyes and I'm not sure if this is considered a lot.

If it's wearing off after a month they did not use enough (purely my opinion) heck the full effect doesn't even show for 10-14 days! Mine lasts closer to 3-4 months.
I've had both Botox & Juvederm injections. My results seem to last longer than they did at first. I have my forehead, 11's between my eyes, crowsfeet & every so often just on the outside of the corners of my mouth. I've had Juvederm injected in my marionette lines & frown lines around my mouth. I've considered Juvederm Voluma for under my eyes but have been told there may be some bruising causing black eyes. So I'm giving this more thought.
