Those of you who have had secret Botox...

[skunkrat]

Any tips? I’m not intending to tell a soul and have it booked for when DH is away a few days next month. Terrified and excited at same time....

Emma78 Botox isn’t a filler though, it’s not going to fill an existing line. Botox is preventative, muscle relaxing only.

Just make sure they are a nurse or a doctor. And there experience

I also have secret botox. Baby botox on forhead still slight movement when i look to heaven lift my brown, and between brows.

18!!!!!!!

I go to my dentist and get baby Botox in 3 areas: between the brows, corners of eyes, and scattered across the forehead.

Lines have come back since being pregnant. Can’t wait till I’m able to have it done again!

I’m not shy about my Botox either. I happily tell everyone and DH knows full well too.

I have secret botox

My dr is excellent and I don’t have a mark when he’s done

I have it between my brows and at the corner of my eyes

Makes me laugh as he’s so “anti” any cosmetic surgery yet he hasn’t a clue

Love my botox!

Ecstatic with the results on my crows feet.

I actually didn't get any bruising to speak of (forehead and eyes) - I went straight back to work afterwards (had it done over lunchtime)

I saw a respected consultant dermatologist, no way would I see anyone other than a medical professional who's properly trained in the anatomy of the facial nerves (ie dermatologist, plastic surgeon or dentist. Not a nurse or beautician)

Responding though to comments of looking well and putting it down to other things when you know it is likely to be the Botox is just lying and portraying a fake image to the world. Women and young girls are already looking at these images in the media and thinking why can't I look like that and it's not fair as it isn't what they 'really' look like.

Anyone in North London who can recommend someone?

Ijust do you wear make up? Is that lying? My body my choice 😊

There is no 'aftermath' to botox. Definitely no Arnica, ice packs or days off work needed . Filler has to be injected deeply hence the bruising. I've never experienced any after effects of botox apart from slight redness that has always completely disappeared in the 15 minute journey home from the practitioner.
OP I have secret botox, in my 11s on my forehead and baby botox for crows feet. Have had it for years and love it. Friends/family just seem to comment that you look well/ skin looks good etc. Just makes you look more fresh faced. Come back and let us know how you get on. I'm sure you won't regret it

Most people know if you've got makeup on. If you want to have Botox that's fine but don't lie and say oh I've been drinking lots of water etc so people believe that's why you look great is what I'm getting at

No one is obliged to give out personal information just because someone oays a compliment.

I don't lie about anything Ijust. I just say thanks. But if I was directly asked if I had ever had botox I wouldn't lie. It's a pretty standard beauty treatment these days

Not a nurse banana? I’m a nurse practitioner, and I am often found teaching/correcting the Docs at Work about anatomy. I get the not beautician stuff but a nurse who specialises in this is more than qualified

Yes I think a dr/dentist/nurse is fine...definitely not a beautician though

My Botox chap is a dentist

What specialty do you practise in youlittlewally? Absolutely no slight meant to nurses - I completely agree that a nurse is leagues apart from a beautician in terms of anatomy knowledge. But personally I would also consider lots of Drs insufficiently qualified (I know many of my medic friends said they absolutely relied on their nursing colleagues during their training, so what you say about correcting Drs about anatomy certainly rings true from their POV too!).

Personally I wouldn't go to a Dr who wasn't a specialist in the field I wouldn't go to a registrar in plastics or derm who hadn't yet gone on the specialist register, nor would I go to a GP or other physician who'd done the botox course - I would only go to a consultant dermatologist or plastic surgeon (or a fully qualified dentist) who had significant experience in injectables

Just my personal preference however!

Ijust why not lie? Why do they owe you anything? I'm not gonna tell people if I'm wearing Spanx or a padded bra...

ANYONE WHO HAS HAD FILLERS HAVE YOU HAD THEM ROUND THE MOUTH, LIKE SMOKERS LINES
Sorry caps on, i had it done once and it was a mess, but would like them done again properly,i think this woman was practicing on me
Did you have a good result

Banana I’m a plastics and aesthetics nurse

Didn’t expect there to be so many women who keep it a secret! I’ve been having Botox for 8 years but everyone knows, lots of my friends have it done also.
It’s really common these days, what’s the issue?
Why do you not tell anyone?

Anyone had improvements with headaches from having it? Just curious as it would be an added bonus.

I had it done today

Currently sat stock still holding phone out in front of face!

Didn’t hurt all over in 5 mins, we shall see what happens. Check up in 2 weeks.

Skunk what areas you had? you’ll find results suddenly kick in on around day ten

You’ll look in the mirror and go WOW 😍😍

I love botox haha. Need to book my top up actually before Xmas
