The fact is that facial exercises are a total scam. The more you stretch your face, the more dynamic lines you will end up with. That is what Dysport and Botox treats; dynamic lines. Add to this the fact that we loose subcutaneous fat in the mid face as we age, except if you are very obese, so it's a recipe for disaster. Those who preach the exercises have been misled and or have a vested interest in pushing the scam. The more still you keep your face, the less wear and tear. Have a Mona Lisa smile, over exaggerated facial expressions and frowning cause over many years, permanent lines.

I never frown or raise my eyebrows, ever, and I have very few lines on the forehead at age 48 1/2. I also wear bangs which are good as they provide a shield to the forehead from the sun, as well as a big hat and always, always wear big wrap around sunglasses and don't smoke.

Thanks Britt, I would never have known the answers to so many questions, if it wasn't for this website !, so THANK YOU RealSelf !!!

Botox is NOT the way to treat depression, you need to change your outlook by reading some free self help books from you library and maybe join a support group in your area. Botox is a chemical that paralyses the muscle in the area that it's who knows what long term affects it will have.

Just remember, all the doctors and surgeons are pushing products to make money from you -ALOT of money from you. Their bank accounts grow each time you are conned into thinking you need those substances.
