I'm very happy with the result from Juvederm and Botox. It took about one week before I could see the full difference from the Botox. I experienced no swelling or bruising at all. I was extremely impressed by the high standards of professionalism and courtesy shown to me during my visit to SKIN medical spa. I will definitely be returning for further treatments. I love the new look that Botox has given me. I look rested and this has dramatically improved my self-esteem and how I feel about myself. As long as you attend a reputable and medically professional practitioner, I see no real problems with this method

Nicki, I know that retinoids and Fraxel are supposed to stimulate collagen production, but are you serious, Botox increases it, too? I may have to reconsider being injected with Botox if that’s the case. Thanks for the very informative post.

If only it was easier to train our facial muscles naturally. I started noticing forehead lines about age 25 so I tried to stop myself from raising eye my brow(s) which seem to have helped. It’s getting harder though so I may have to resort to this….I probably would have already if not my fear of needles.

Maybe we can do what my mom preaches? Go the natural way… be less expressive when laughing or showing emotions to decrease recurring expression lines.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Christine! I’m 27 and have been considering Botox for a couple years. I have a deep furrow in between my brows (like half of an “eleven”). It’s an expression line that I’ve had since I was a kid, but it’s gotten much worse the past few years. I think I want to get Botox to stop it in its tracks and keep it from further cementing itself smack dab in the middle of my face.

Personally, I think Botox is hardly any different from using any anti-aging product. In the right hands, it’s VERY safe, and if you don’t like the results, no big deal because its effects are temporary.

Thank you for all the great information! I wonder how I find the ‘best’ surgeon to do this in my local area? Word of mouth? Again…I am so glad to have found your blog. It is great!

I appreciate the research you have done on this, and it confirms for me even more, that I just do not want to undertake this kind of cosmetic surgery. I do feel, however, that it isn’t wise for me to never say “never” about it because there may come a day when I decide I want to have it done, but for now, I will remain in the camp of those who don’t.

After having a few Botox injections (over time), it seems that you don’t need to have the injections as often, which is a bonus when considering the upkeep. Doctors prices can vary widely even in a particular city. For best results (for any procedure) go with a doctor that has done the procedure many, many times and with one that you feel comfortable and follow their after care directions to a “T”.

Great post. Talk of Botox is all around. It is so expensive. What is the best way to find the right doctor to give you Botox?
