To ask for your Botox experiences?

I'm in my early/mid thirties and have noticed a few frown lines between my eyebrows and a few subtle lines on my forehead. Not sure if this is down to my poor diet lately or if wrinkles are settling in (despite in general looking young for my age).

Can anyone share their Botox experience please? What age did you start getting it, would you recommend it and did you see a visible difference after? I'm not sure if it's better used as a prevention in which case it's worth looking at now. But I also don't want to end up with a face that doesn't move Grin

Would love to hear everyone's beautiful honesty! (Appreciate some people may be anti this and come in with the grow old gracefully comments, in which case please just scroll on by rather than stir the pot with judgy comments thanks)

Some other things to know that might help:
It hurts a bit. 5 separate injections for 11s. But hurts less than having your eyebrows threaded.
You hear a weird tiny crunch as the needle goes in. It's normal.
You will have little raised bits where the needle has gone in for a few hours so plan accordingly. Whatever you do, do not press or rub them!
You should have a follow up after 2 weeks and if it hasn't taken (some people have very strong muscles) you should get a free top up.
It takes 3 days to work.
You may have a headache like there's a tight band around your head for a day or so. It goes.
Don't rub the area or lie down flat for 5 hours after.
Wearing a frownies patch at night over the area prolongs the results by a long way.
You might bruise a little.

Sounds like she's had too much and/or too many areas done. Alternatively she could have had a lift or a peel, or simply be going overboard with the 'dewy' make up!
Ive only ever had my 11s because thats the area that bothers me. I've never had a full forehead or my crows feet (I'm 52, no one is going to think having no crows feet is natural!) and don't have a tight ir waxy look. So I'd suggest picking the area that most concerns you and trying that and see how you get on.

Started in my 40s and loved it,

Unfortunately it stopped working on me after a couple of years despite bigger doses. In still sad about that

So glad to see positive responses, I may go for it as it doesn't sound like there's anything to lose.

I'm an hour from London but visit often, can anyone recommend any good clinics? I'll obviously JFGI too but personal recommendations always help. Is there a ballpark cost?
