WORTH IT$250
I decided to try Botox in 2013 for the touted asthetic effects and absolutely loved it ~ the added benefit that I did NOT expect was the elimination of my tension headaches! HUGE bonus! I get Botox between the brows about every 9 month - 12 months and am very happy with both the smoothing asthetic results and the elimination of any tension headaches. I have RA and recieve chemotherapy for my condition ~ RA can cause headaches because it affects the neck joints (as well as the internal organs and overall body joints - it is an autoimmune disease that has no cure).

I would highly recommend Botox to anyone who is a headache/migraine sufferer and/or would like the smoothing skin benefits of Botox. Botox usually lasts about 9 months for me, but can last as little as 3 months for some - depends on one's individual metabolism - everyone is different.

Procedure is painless - just a few mild needle pinches in the brow muscles and it takes about 5 minutes tops to do (if not less). One may also opt for injections in the upper forehead muscles and around the eyes - I've been told that the "around the eyes" injections provide and "eye lift" effect. My doctor is very versed in his practice and will advise me if I need any in a particular area - genetics play a very large role in how one's skin ages. So far, he said that between the brows, if anything, is enough for me - plus it's ridding me of my tension headaches.

The cost depends on how many areas are done at one time and what region one resides in. I would guesstimate that Botox can cost anywhere between $250.00 ~ $1000.00, depending on how many areas that the client wants injected.

One can be beautiful at ANY age, with or without makeup - just take care of your skin and don't forget the sunblock. Try to purchase makeup with sunscreen already in it - protecting the skin from sun helps tremendously in maintaining smooth skin. I'm headed to 50 years old and I'm doing my best to age gracefully ???? Much love!

I get about 4-6 shots between the brows - I am guessing that it is one unit? I've never asked - I will ask though so I can provide this info! It's really great to eliminate tension headaches - amazing stuff! Thanks for your compliment!

It is wonderful until you meet the botox cheats! I am in that predicament now looking for new dr. It is a nightmare. You look great.

Thanks for your compliment! No more tension headaches either :) What is a "Botox cheat" - a doctor who charges too much?

Gorgeous! I just got Dysport 4 days ago and already love that my 11 lines between my brows are so flat now! I will be 47 this year

It's almost 4 months now and the Botox between my brows is still going strong - very happy with the smoothing effects and the lack of tension headaches. It tends to last quite a while for me - some it lasts for 3 months and others it can last up to 8/9 months. I will continue using Botox until I feel that I need a facelift :)
