Botox - why didn't I do it before?! And how long does yours last?

[MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe]

Been wingeing about my No11s for aaaages, so had botox 2 weeks ago and the difference is REMARKABLE. The 11s are almost completely gone So little faff for so much result.

So I want this to continue, how frequently do you all have it done?

Every six months here. Makes a massive difference and even when it wears off the lines are not as deep.

I had it in October, for first time - it is wearing off only now.

Love, love it. I also had it for 11s but it eliminated every line on my forehead too, even though I could still move it.

Added bonus - no headaches at all.

Can't wait to go back.

I have it done 3 x over the past year (so every 4 mths). My 11s, forehead lines and crows feet. My doc uses a light touch so I dont have complete 'freeze', she just majorly softens the lines. I love it. Has given me a fresher look and eased my tension headaches masisvely as a nice addiiton.

I have been having it done for a year and I think I am going to be able to give it 5 or 6 mths this time, as it seems to be lasting a bit longer.

Ooh, this is looking encouraging

Every four months here. Have it done for migraine .

I've had it done, just had my top up

I also love it, had it on deep deep line between brows and on forehead lines. All gone, completely gone.

I think it is more effective if you have really good skin though,my open pores are still there but at least with no wrinkles

how much did you pay, Miss B?

Twice a year. Love it too. Enables me to go bare faced and I am old!

I can still move my eyebrows up and down but all the lines on my forehead have gone and the Dr did my crows feet too.

I paid £270, Cyb but God, it was worth it

no one has noticed on me apart from a very sharp eyed and switched on friend who said I looked fresher and 'like Linda Evangalista' ARF

My next project is eyelash treatment where they dye and curl which lasts weeks for holidays.....and would love eyebrows to be filled in more permanently but don't want Scouse brow

I WILL GO BARE FACED GODDAMMMIT

How'd you find someone good to do it?

A reccy from a friend, mines a gal who works in a Medi Spa and does Botox all day. She comes to your house. Cheaper, and I felt more comfortable than going to a clinic

Nobody has noticed here apart from DH, and that's cheating because I told him.

Really handy for work though because I find my ahem, expressive face is much more under control

Report back about the eyelashes will you?

I think I might tackle my tear troughs next...

I haven't told my H! I did ask about tear troughs from my gal as she does fillers too but she won't do that area....think that may be somethingI just have to live with

|I've been having Botox for nearly 10 years now and the more you have it the longer it seems to last. I can go 7-8 months before needing a top up now.

So Botox for you 11's? I saw a private doc and he thought I would need a filler for mine. They are v v deep. I wonder should I seek second opinion.
Has anyone had a filler?

Can anyone recommend a botox person in the North West? I don't have 11's, oh no, I have 111's. The middle one is quite deep!

whats the difference between botox and filler, anyone???

Goodness i was waiting til my hubby and i had gone on a course to learn how to do it for work....hows that for efficiency savings.....but reading this i am almost jumping up and down shouting "I want it NOW"!!!! Can't wait!

pinkbraces - botox works by paralysing muscles and therefore creating a smoother effect. It will stop new lines forming and greatly 'soften' existing ones however it won't get rid of very deep and established ones.

A filler is a substance that is injected into an existing wrinkle/crevice and literally 'fills' out the area - so with 11s - it would pad out the grooves in the skin.

Can anyone recommend anywhere in Lancashire, prefeably East Lancs or Manchester?

What age is it best to start at? I'm 33 and my crowsfeet are starting to turn to wrinkles. Too early?

6-9 months.

I've been having it since I was 28. (32 now)

Does anyone know a good place to try botox for migraine? DSIL was talking about trying it but has no idea where to go. Do you go to a cosmetic place or do you need a specialist migraine/medical place?

What is 11's????

I started at 35.

11s are the two frown lines between the eyes
