Do you get Botox?

[Deleted]

I want to. With two in daycare I need to do some saving for it though.

I'm 36 and I hate the line that divides my forehead in half.

[thatgirl2478]

No. I don't know anyone who does. I'm not sure I could justify the cost.

[Deleted]

But yes, a chemical peel is coming up too for sure. I've heard that a good peel can rival the results of botox.

I'm trying to decide if I need to see a plastic surgeon or go to my regular derm for botox though. Any thoughts on that?

[MWOS]

no, I still look naturally amazing.

[pantsparty]

I am hoping my religious regiment of sunscreen, glycolic peels and retinol keeps me looking good. I see a lot of scary-looking faces in SoCal, and I'm not sure if it's surgery, or too much Botox, or what. But I think it looks horrible. I'm probably not noticing the people with well-done Botox treatments, LOL.

[trixiedicksnatch]

No but I want to. I'm getting some forehead wrinkles that I don't love. And I've been using wrinkle cream since I was like 19 or so.

Part of me is like let's do it and then I see people who've had bad Botox. Plus I wanna be able to mean mug the fuck out of people what if I can't do that any more??

My neuro wants me to do the ones for headaches but the possible risks on those ones sound way more terrifying than face Botox.

That's the thing, if botox is done well- you don't even know the person has it

[iamgrace]

I'm waffling. My H is vehemently against it.

I got botox for the two wrinkles between my eyebrows and it didn't work. I went to Restalyn instead. It's been 3 years and I just now need another injection.

[karmasabiotch]

I have but my issue is I need to raise my eyebrows when I judge people and Botox makes it problematic for me.

I got it done last Friday for migraines, and the lack of movement in my forehead is freaking me the fuck out. I keep trying to make surprised looking faces in the mirror and I can't.

[flex]

I do. But I started after age 50.

Truthfully, I think it's kinda unnecessary before 45, but that's just me. Don't hate. lol

How will people know I think they're fucking ridiculous if I can't raise my eyebrows in shock and horror?

Yes.  It's cramping my judging style!

no, but i have been doing chicken liver fillers in my lips.

Lol.  

You have amazing skin. 

[LoveBug]

I don't want it yet but know I will want it in the future. I am so afraid I will get a messed up batch or end up looking ridiculous.

I haven't had botox yet but I plan to once I feel like I need it.

I got a light chemical peel before my wedding and my skin looked so flawless. I have been wanting to do another one.

Did your Derm do this?

And I didn't do it for the lines in my forehead (although that is a plus). It's for the furrows between my brows. too many years of squinting and frowning I guess.

Nicole Kidman's forehead scares me.

tell me more.

I have some sun damage and old acne scars. Does this help with that?

[Deleted]

It pays to have a fat face.

[hereigo]

I so want to do a chemical peel!

I want to hold off on the botox a few more years.

[mrsg123]

I want to. Soon!

[Deleted]

I don't need it yet, but I will start the second there is a need.

No, my mom bought me a gift certificate to the place that I had it done. I believe it was a plastic surgeons office actually. 

[littlesthobo]

Well I certainly wanted to when my 3y/o told me I had "stripes" on my forehead last week. But I just can't justify the cost. Dammit.

[flex]

If you look close enough you can tell if a person uses Botox. It's only to be used around the corners of the eyes, the forehead and in between the brows. You can't use it for droopy eyelids. So if a person has a tight forehead and no crows feet, but is all crepe-y right above and below the eyes: Botox'ed

I really like Makeup Artist's Choice chemical peels: www.makeupartistschoice.com/At-Home-Chemical-Peels_c_53.html

Pretty inexpensive and they always have sales if you sign up for emails, or check the Daily Deal. The 40% glycolic peel is my favorite; the mandelic peel is good, too.

I have some light acne scarring/discoloration as well and it helped TREMENDOUSLY with them. Again, I had a lighter chemical peel done so the redness/burning wasn't as extreme as I think some can get. My skin just looked completely renewed, healthy and radiant. I know that sounds corny but it's amazing what happens once they get all the old dead skin off your face.

Samantha Jones scared me off from ever wanting to try a chemical peel.
