Another Botox thread

[Deleted]

I'm going on 32 but I feel and look like a wreck so I already want to get Botox on my forehead.

I have at least 3 prominent horizontal lines and then a '1' but going on '11'. Will Botox smooth this out or do I need a filler or something else?

Do I need to see a dermatologist or who else can legally (and proficiently) give Botox??

Also, if you get Botox done, how often do you go and, if you don't mind sharing, how much do you pay?

I don't know anything about botox, but I am 33 and also have forehead lines that I want to do something about so my derm recommended retin-A (it's a topical form of vitamin A that encourages fast cell turnover). I also have some acne that retin-A is great for. I've noticed a slight tightening in my forehead after using for 9 months. It may be worth asking about this instead of botox (but by all means go for botox if you want it!).

I get then on my 11s and it works great.

I'm 47, I go every three or four months. $250 a pop.

Im annoyed that I can't get botox anymore which is not helping!!

I go to a plastic surgeon.

I'm 35 and had my horizontal lines in my forehead done. It was a massive difference! totally worth it! I only did 20 units, and I used Xeomin, not Botox. But I was very happy with the results.

Do you mind sharing who did yours?? (Dermatologist/plastic surgeon/other) How often do you go? I'm looking into all options at this point!

I have a very deep 1 instead of 11s. I just had Botox on it for the first time and it smoothed it out some, but it didn't completely get rid of it. I had 20 units. It's still noticeable. I'll give Botox another couple of tries since it's supposed to be better if you keep up with it. If it's not okay by this time next year, I'll likely explore a filler.

A friend of mine has a Botox party at her home. A doctor comes in and does it there, and there's a price break per unit. Next party is in 4 months.

I'm 35 and get Dysport every 4 months. I go to a plastic surgeons office and would never chance it anywhere else. I pay about $300 each visit. I get it in my forehead and crows feet. Contemplating starting in my neck because I notice in pics my neck is aging quite a bit.

I have an appt for a consultation at a Dermatologists office to get Dysport. It's nor for a week and a half and i can't wait. It's $5 unit where I am going to go but I have no idea how many units I will need.

I go to a plastic surgeon and either he or his wife (an RN) do it. I've been getting it over a year now on a regular basis. I'm 37 and no one ever believes me when age comes up.
I have been getting my 11s and forehead lines and right around my eyes. It's subtle but really makes a difference, if that makes sense.
I pay $18/unit (cc) and I get 20 units so it's $360 per visit. They usually have a bonus program going on with the manufacturer I fill out a quick online survey and get either a $50 or $100 visa gift
Card then I use that toward next treatment.
I usually go about every ten to twelve weeks. Closer to ten lately.

I'm 30, and I've been getting it done for about a year and a half. I get my forehead and crows feet done (16 units in my forehead and 10 around each eye). I get mine done by my dermatologist, and I pay $10 per unit. I go back around every 4-5 months; my forehead definitely stays smoother longer than my around my eyes do.
