I have been seeing Jonathan for close to 15 years for fillers and botox. He is amazing!! Very kind, gentle and caring! He is a true artist and you will always look like you, but just better! I have been thinking about threads for some time, but the whole idea was just scary. Yesterday, I took the plunge and never would have even attempted it except for Jonathan, whom I have the utmost confidence in. Well, it was so much easier than I could have ever imagined! Totally painless and the results were amazing! I have had surgical procedures done and could not have shown my face in public for weeks. I was able to go out to dinner the day of the procedure and my boyfriend only noticed that I looked great!! :) Jonathan is the best and I would never go to anyone else!
Botox has become too expensive for me. It may have been that my PS was pushing me to do areas that weren't needed. But it was just too much, $600 every 3-4 months. So when I came across a Groupon for Xeomin. I researched the salon and the product and decided to give it a shot. It's too early to report on results, as I just had it done today.. I stuck with the 20 units in the forehead, that was the Groupon deal, for $119. And the salon did not try to sell me more, than the Groupon deal. The salon was awesome.. very relaxing, comfortable, polite.. And they took time to answer questions. The injections were over I a flash and not painful.. Everything went great.. Now I just need to wait a few days and report back on the results.. Updated on 13 Sep 2014: No improvement or even a tiny bit of difference.. Nothing. I know it's early. But with Botox there's an immediate reaction .. although it takes days to peak. I immediately feel and see a hint of the final result..can feel it working.. With Xeomin, not even the tiny little pin prick, very temporary bumps...following treatment.. Absolutely nothing.. Day 1 following treatment with Xeomin . Absolutely nothing yet, not even a little hint at anything.. Forehead as completely mobile as before. I will update daily and could be proven absolutely wrong. But have very little confidence in this product.. Updated on 14 Sep 2014: Skeptical me..!! I'm starting to see results. Very different to the onset of Botox.. Of course the fact that I went to a completely new salon, so different injector. Factors in. I was extremely skeptical. In part because of the Groupon. I didn't believe I'd see much, having only spent $119. But here I am on day 2, starting to see results... Updated on 15 Sep 2014: Very little, if any change from yesterday.. Will wait and see if it really starts kicking in over the next couple of days.. or not. So far the jury is out. Updated on 16 Sep 2014: Definite improvement from day 1.. Still some movement.. but each day less and less. I'm pretty happy, considering what I paid. Updated on 17 Sep 2014: Hardly any movement.. I was extremely skeptical of a new product. Having used Botox exclusively for over 7 years. But I'm very happy with my Xeomin results. Difficult to describe but for me it worked differently to Botox. Botox for me once it kicks in, it's immediate. Xeomin seemed to take it's course over a few days, improving day by day.. I highly recommend The Laser Lounge Spa in Estero FL. They have a Groupon for Xeomin.. Worth trying..I will be going back when it's time for my next treatment. So.. I went from highly skeptical of Xeomin..to very pleased with the result. As another reviewer stated.. it's an airbrushed look.. Not the frozen Botox look.. I prefer it to Botox.. Will review again ..when I know how long it lasts.. Updated on 24 Sep 2014: On around the 4-5 day as the Xeomin started kicking in..my right eye felt strange.. started twitching. I've never experienced that..in my life. It's stopped now. But I've been sick for days.. Weak, dizzy, headache, nauseous.. muscle aches, upset stomach.. I ride my bike 20 miles a day..I'm a fitness freak and health nut..I don't drink, or smoke..Eat clean and so on..I can't even think about riding my bike. I jist feel like going back to bed. All these symptoms started at the time the Xeomin started working. And are extemely unusual for me. So I cannot rule out a connection. I will not be using Xeomin again and hope what I'm feeling is temporary..Right now it fee;s like my had is going to explode amd every muscle in my body aches..Back to bed :(
