Page 6 | What age did you start Botox?

And what was your results like? Did it last long? I’m getting it done soon for the first time and I can’t wait lol

Oh come on @cardibach you're really reaching there. Anyone could tell she meant fresher than she normally does. Not fresher than other people.

I find it very odd that there is so much spite towards women who have it yet we don't slate people for not wanting it. I couldn't care less if you don't have it. Oh and no, you can't always tell 🤣

The original post was to ask those who had it for their experience so why people that haven't had it or are so dead against it felt the need to even reply is beyond me.

It's a bit like a poster saying they're going to wherever holiday destination and people who have never been chipping in their (worthless) opinions about somewhere they've even never been.

As for a waste of money , to those anti, pretty sure you spend your cash on something that others would say is a waste of money.

Don't tear other women down because they do something so alien to you.

@cardibach I was replying to your comment above. Doesn't really matter who originally said it!

My 1st point was that when someone says 'I feel fresher' the clue is in 'I' and doesn't imply that others are not fresh!

@cardibach 'Look' fresher is the same sentiment.

I look fresher when I've just washed my hair. That's not implying that your hair is dirty!

Had my first botox a month before my 50th birthday.
I am now 66 and have it about twice a year.
If you have a good practitioner (I only go to qualified doctors) you really only need a treatment twice a year.

cardibach · 13/02/2025 20:18

As evidence for those who can’t be bothered to look (specifically @Newbie8918 and @Thirteenblackcat - who I now realise wasn’t the person I replied to originally, so not sure what the connection was)

Newbie8918 · 13/02/2025 20:11

@cardibach oh come on!

'I feel fresher'
'I am going to freshen up'
'I like fresh pjs'

All of these statements are referring to the speaker. Not inferring that others are not fresh/dirty/a slight on anyone still wearing existing PJs 🙈

It said look fresher. Not feel.

How much are you all spending on Botox? I can barely afford wrinkle cream!

210 quid. Thats forehead, frown lines, crows feet and my jaw because of my bruxism.

I also said I felt fresher after using Botox. I felt fresher compared to how I before using it

i wasnt comparing myself to anyone else just my pre Botox face, I don’t care what anyone else looks like to be honest, it’s none of business what they choose to do or not do to their bodies, hair and faces

No, you said you looked fresher. That’s an implied criticism of how others look.

That your phrasing reveals a really twisted view?

AllFurCoatAndFrillyKnickers · 13/02/2025 18:25

Never have and I'm 61. Never will either. I'm going to get old disgracefully.
I've always worn sunblock on my face, don't sunbathe and eat a healthy diet, and I don't think I look too bad, but if I did, it is tough.
I wouldn't be injecting stuff into my face that might make me look strange.

I don’t berate or judge anyone for being au naturel - so I don’t understand why people go so mental with the mention of Botox.
There’s always a pile on on MN, it’s like catnip on a par with any poor soul who says they are fat.
On MN you must be as thin as a whippet, super busy all day long, not dye your hair, not use injectables, have a 6 figure salary and are so young looking you pay half fare on the bus and the postman faints when he finds out you have children = bingo.

I was about to say I haven’t seen any of what you describe. Then the post under yours changed all that😂

Or maybe you just think you do.....I don't know anyone who looks better for having botox. I would actually consider certain surgeries before I would botox.

2 things can be both be true.

We can both look good for our ages. No one is saying you can't.

Maybe I just look better.....😂

Very common now , im 50 and haven't felt the need to. Everyone I know has though including people in their 20's! 😱

Superhansrantowindsor · 13/02/2025 17:49

I’m nearly 50 and don’t have any wrinkles. A combination of greasy skin when younger and always using the highest spf I can get my hands on from May to September.

I would like to think I’ll never get it but perhaps I feel different when I get wrinkles.

Notsuchafattynow · 13/02/2025 17:49

There's certainly alot of angst and weirdly placed anger on the thread!

How you age also has a lot to do with your genes and lifestyle.

Tell yourself that then to make you feel better.

You seem to have had a nerve hit with your last couple of posts.

I'm 52 and look good for my age and I've never had it.

I am trying to lose a bit of weight (have a BMI of 27 at the moment) and I do wonder if I do lose the weight I will look older.

IMO, certainly not. If anything, I think that people who use it can look quite odd. Just because they think that they look 'fresher' doesn't mean that they do in reality.

Oh my goodness this a sad thread.

Is botox really the norm for so many women?
And so many young women at that?

Agree with you. Very sad.
