Hi everyone! after the 'touch-up' administered by Dr. McKenna, I can REALLY tell a difference. the '1' is now gone and it still looks pretty natural... I don't have that "freshly injected" or completely expressionless. I am so far happy with my results!
Also, I never bruised or had swelling at the injection sites

i decided to call the clinic and go back for a "touch up" today, as it has been one month since I had botox and still have a strong "1" in between my eyebrows.
Dr. McKenna said i have a great forehead result but i should have come back within a week vs. a month. Their "touch-up" policy is that they will do up to 10 additional units within 7 days after the injection for free.
He injected 10 additional units between my eyebrows and charged me for 8 ($64). he said to come back in may or june and it should be fine and on schedule. I posted another picture to show what lines I am referring to, again... this is one month out from original botox injection and before the 10-additional units injected today. I will post another photo in a week. The total cost of the botox is now $358 for 53 units of botox.

It's interesting that you had to wait so long to see results. When I had mine done about a month ago I saw results the very next day. I posted a review here with pics but apperantly it takes some time nefore the site will post it. Good luck with your results and keep your eyes opened for my review.

It has been 10 days since my Botox, and I think it needed a 7-8 days to take full effect for me. I can move my forehead a bit and move my eyebrows together, but not NEARLY to the extent I could 5 days ago. my forehead lines are almost gone and my skin looks great. I could have probably gotten a bit more on my left side between my eyebrows or gone for a touch-up, but with it being my first time I opted not to and just see how this went.

botox takes about a week after the injection to fully paralyize the muscles. botox in the frown lines area won't make your '11' go away if the lines are already deep set, which they appear to be from your pictures. the collagen there has been worn away, so you'll need a dermal filler too.

thank you for the insight! i asked the doctor about a filler, but he said he thought i just needed more botox between the brows and would re-evaluate in June. I had an additional 10 units added today.
