“Botox: Cheapest in Adelaide AND Thailand”

Worth It
Spent: $159 in Bangkok, Thailand
Spent: $159 in Bangkok, Thailand
I've always wanted BOTOX and i waited for a while before i got it, i didn't really need it but at the age of 29 i find i have fine lines around my eyes and one in the middle of my forehead (between my eyes). I went to Thailand and got my breasts lifted and thought "what the heck?" and got BOTOX as an added extra. I had it done on my crows feet, the middle of my eyes and my forehead.
At first i didn't noticed anything, it takes about 3 - 5 days for the product to take effect, then it was quite subtle but SO effective: it was like i had new skin or something. You couldn't put your finger on it but you could tell there was something new about my face. People commented on it too, someone said "you have really nice skin!" which i hadn't heard in a while. I could still wrinkle my face up if i tried, there was nothing plastic looking about me, but the product just slightly ironed out my skin and i looked fresh all the time. Ttoally worth it 100%. I hate my face without it now! And it was dirt cheap too! the Thai doctors really DO know what they're doing.
Updated on 25 May 2012:
I got Botox 4 days ago through a special i found on Scoopon.com.au, one of those sites that you get discounted goods and services. It cost me $159 for one major area and one minor area. This was an issue for me because the major areas were the frown lines, crows feet and forehead lines and i wanted them all done! I couldn't decide, but i got my forehead and a little under my eyebrows to open my eyes a little more. Then the doctor let me pay the same rate i bought my Scoopon voucher for to have another major site done, that was so brilliant! So i also got crows feet.
It's by far the cheapest place i have been to out of Melbourne, Adelaide and Bangkok. I think in Thailand they give you a bit more for your money but i was happy to pay that amount for what i got. I don't look plastic or expressionless, i just have less lines, a very natural outcome.
My only criticism is the lack of professionalism. He was very laid back and made me feel very comfortable, then he hit a nerve or something in my face and left me with a massive bruise, which was uncomfortable when i moved my face. All good now, i just wish he was a little more careful. I WILL definitely go back again, nonetheless.

No aftercare follow up, i didn't email and there wasn't any need to phone (i made the appointment a few weeks in advance and they called me the day before to remind me which was lovely). Everything else was peachy!
