S/O... botox?

[Deleted]

So I keep 'joking' about this to my husband but it's getting to a point where I"m seriously considering it. I'm FINE with almost every wrinkle on my face - they're from laughing! BUT, I have this super deep crease on the left between my eyebrows that is actually really uneven with the fainter matching wrinkle on the right and it's really starting to get on my nerves. Especially because it's caused from unintentional frowning due to pain levels over the past few years and I hate it. HATES IT. The more weeks/months go by, the less I'm joking about wanting to prevent it from getting worse.

Anyone tried it?

I get it and love it! My place is $10/unit. The first time I got it (forehead lines and 11's) it was downtown and I felt it was pricey, but since I stay up on it, I need less each time so it's not crazy to maintain. I'm actually going this weekend to get it done.
It doesn't take effect right away, it actually takes 2-3 weeks for the full results to be noticeable. It definitely doesn't hurt- just a tiny sting.
Also if you decide it's not for you, it's not something you have to do, you can just let it wear off and that's that. Mine usually lasts 4-6 months.

I dont know how much it is, but my salon does it and my hair stylist had it done and loves it.

@ksta, I can always send you a sample of Acute care. Like botox but not botox you can just put it on at night and sleep

What is this? I haven't heard of it.

Last night I woke up from nightmares and was in physical pain and had to take pills to go back to sleep. I can't control furrowing my brow from pain while I"m sleeping. This sucks.

In this case, you should totally see if your medical insurance will cover it.

Also, it does make a HUGE difference in regards to headaches. I definitely get way less with getting the Botox. And, a coworker actually gets hers covered through our medical insurance because her headaches are pretty bad.

Shimmer Airbrushing and Esthetics. The DR who administers it is there once a week. $10/unit is a great price, too!

I used to get them a few times a month. It has gone way down, now.
