I have been considering Botox for a while and so as a present to myself I decided to give it a try! I am a 28 y/o wife, caseworker, mother of two under two with a crazy busy schedule and extreme lack of sleep. I didn't have significant frown lines but would like to prevent as much as possible now rather than try to repair it later! The doctor I used I have previously done two rounds of accutane with in my teens and felt comfortable with! I explained it was more for prevention and I wanted to still have movement, but softer expressions. We decided to do 20 units in my "11's" and 4 units in the forehead region. I am one day out so we shall see how this goes!
In our hands, the HALO laser is an extremely effective tool to improve skin tone, texture and color. This treatment demonstrates safety, minimal downtime and great results. We use it every day. Hope you have a wonderful result from your HALO!
The most common cosmetic procedure done in the US is injecting one of these products to relax muscles that cause wrinkles in the face. The treatment is fast, safe, and predictable when performed by a well-trained, highly-qualified injector. Do not settle for the "cheapest". In the Midwest, Botox prices typically range from $11-15 per unit unless a sale or special is being offered.
I have injected Botox and, more recently Xeomin, for many years including thousands of treatments. The best things about these neuromodulators are reliability, safety, and simplicity. There is no mandated pre or post treatment instructions. I advise patients to simply do whatever they normally do!
I see no reason to wait at all. Both are safe, minor proceedures and I dont see a risk or drawback with doing them close together. We have excellent results with both!
I think that acne scars are extremely difficult to treat and often require more aggressive treatment. I probably would forego Halo and consider fractional CO2 laser, perhaps coupled with Bellafill injections (for the scars that are flat-based). You might expect 50-70% improvement with that combination.
