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!

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

Botox Between Brows
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 :)
Wow you look beautiful! Your skin is amazing, thank you for sharing your story and your experience! How many units do you receive?
