Is Botox Really Meant for You to Look Younger?

February 23, 2012
Asked By:SORTKWIK in Minneapolis, MN

I was really excited two weeks ago because I was getting botox done for my eyes. I am disappointed that it did not make me look any younger at all! I am going back for a 2 week follow up but expect not to get instant results like I was told. When I look at before and after pictures the results look excellent and people with the wrinkles under the eyes look like they have diminished! They told me there was nothing they could do for my deep wrinkles underneath my eyes?! Disappointed!
