good time tested advice
WORTH IT$260
If you are trying to decide about spending money on Botox...I can tell you from my experience if you do it regularly every 4months for the first year or so... you can then do it far less frequently and maintain results. I have only got it once this year (beginning of year) and my once awful 11 lines are not an issue. In all honesty I could now take Botox once a year and maintain. So initial investment to the commitment of every 4 months, followed by less frequent need. This is my two cents. I hope it helps.

The more you do it, the longer duration you can wait between injections
I just want to update that with my experience, I need Botox less frequently now that I have done it regularly for a while. I got it last in early November, it is now mid April and I don't need it yet. I believe the muscle has become weakened enough that it is not as prominent, and while I will continue Botox, I can seemingly go every 7 months or so now, rather than every 4 like I used to! I thought you may like to know this because long term, it does become more cost effective. At age 32 I have been mistaken for 24-26 years old on frequent occasions. If it were not for the Botox I would look fowl due to the angry expression I couldn't help. Thank you Botox!

Botox lasts about 11 months to 1 year for me, but it did from the beginning. I started Botox when I was 39 1/2, and am almost 56 now. How long Botox lasts for me is very rare, so do not expect this anyone !!!

This has been very helpful as I am the same age and using Botox for same reason. I especially dig the part about needing less frequently after awhile !

A year later, still loving Botox
It has been 1 year since I first got Botox. I have kept it up ever since, and plan to keep it up for as long as I can! I set up a savings account which I call my "beauty account", where each paycheck $50 goes in. This way I am always saving up a budget for the next treatment.
At 31 years young, have been mistaken to be 24 on mulitiple occasions. Not sure why 24 specifically, is the age people always guess, but I will take it!
Botox was kind of a "gateway" into me wanting other procedures. I have had juvederm in my nasio folds, and in my lips ( I have a review here on realself of that too). I am also about to get a boob job to make my small boobs a full D cup. I guess once you see how amazing a small cosmetic treatment can make you feel, you tend to be more open to what else this modern cosmetic medical technology has to offer. I would not say I'm going to be "addicted" to plastic surgery because there really is nothing more I want than to look like myself, but I will say the idea of cosmetic procedures is much more open to me than it was before botox.
