Botox

I'm 40 next year and having a bit of a wobble and focussing on all the bits that make me look old. I'm diligent about applying factor 30 daily but no amount of moisturiser and sunscreen will get rid of the horrible frown lines on my forehead ( I have no crows feet or laughter lines - so I must be a right miserable git that all I've got are frown lines).

It's also my sisters wedding in August and she's so glam and i just don't want to look like the frumpy older sister.

I'm justifying the cost by the fact that I rarely spend money on any other pampering. I get me hair cut about three times a year, never get manicures/pedicures/facials etc. Wax my own legs etc. I steal feel guilty and a bit frivolous.

My concern about it is, will it actually work? I know Botox stops you being able to frown but does it actually get rid of the existing marks? My frown lines are still there when I'm not frowning so how does it get rid of them? Is it worth the money? Realistically how often do you have to keep getting it done?

Is it painful?

The practitioner applies an anaesthetic cream so not painful just maybe slightly uncomfortable sometimes. Your skin looks sunburnt after it but fine the next day if a little pik. The home roller is a little uncomfortable.
