I am glad to welcome you again, my dear readers. Who doesn't dream of prolonging their youth? How you don’t want wrinkles to appear on your face. Unfortunately, this process is inevitable. But thank God, nowadays there are a lot of options for preserving youth. And one of them is Botox for the face, of course there are different reviews about this procedure. I can’t say that everything is super positive. So let's look at the pros and cons together.
What is Botox and how does it work?
It was discovered by American scientists in the 19th century. At that time, they were looking for the cause of botulism (an infection of the nervous system). As you understand, the substance was not initially studied for use in cosmetology. The word comes from the American botox, so it is correct to pronounce botox, not botex.
This is an A-type neurotoxin, its basis is a protein produced by the microorganism Clostridium botulinum
It is the causative agent of such a dangerous disease as botulism. At the beginning of the 20th century, scientists were able to isolate a toxin from this microbe. In animal testing, the toxin was noted to relieve muscle spasms and squints. When the toxin entered the muscles, it blocked their contraction. Simply put, it caused muscle paralysis.
In 1978, clinical trials of drugs based on this toxin began. Ten years later, the American company Allergan began producing drugs with Botox. They were used to treat strabismus and blepharospasm.
Scientists noticed that in patients receiving injections, facial wrinkles were smoothed out. It has been proven that the drug is absolutely safe in therapeutic doses. And for more than 30 years it has been successfully used in cosmetology.
Dysport is also used in cosmetology for these purposes. In essence, this is the same Botox, the only difference is the concentration of the toxin. There is less of it in Dysport and this drug is produced by the French company Ipsen.
Toxin injections are administered to areas of increased muscle tone. Botox is administered subcutaneously, intradermally and intramuscularly. The doctor decides exactly how to inject and in which area. Of course, many are interested in when Botox begins to work after injection. Visible changes occur within 3-4 days. The maximum result from the introduction of the toxin appears after 2-3 weeks.
Reviews about the procedure, as well as before and after photos
In order to understand how effective this rejuvenation method is, I collected reviews. And for a visual example, I have prepared a photo for you. Honestly, some of the photos are truly amazing. It feels like the person is 10 years younger 🙂
Lily: I constantly wrinkle my forehead and frown. As a result, glabellar and horizontal wrinkles appeared. I was injected with Botex in these places - my forehead is smooth, the effect is simply super! Hyaluronic acid can fill deep folds. But for facial expressions, Botox is still the answer.
Aster: Recently I was injected for facial wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes and in the area of the bridge of the nose. There are no problems with facial expressions, but wrinkles do not appear. I liked it and will make it again.
Daisy: I was terribly afraid of these injections! Honestly... I almost fainted right at the doctor, I even sniffed ammonia. If you are afraid, calm down. the injection is similar to a mosquito bite. But it's worth it. I now have a very smooth forehead. I can wince, but no wrinkles form. Hurray, that's what I wanted))
Camilla: It is enough for me to inject myself once a year. I use it in the summer because I often wince in the sun. The effect lasts for a long time, maybe because I’m still 30 years old... I don’t think I’m old..))
Marina: I also injected it in the forehead area, the effect lasted for 6 months. Then all the wrinkles returned, it didn’t get any worse. just the way it was
Olesya: I was advised to inject Dysport between the eyebrows. I didn’t notice much difference with Botox. Now I can’t wrinkle my eyebrows and forehead. I really hope that the muscles will get used to not wrinkle when the effect of the drug wears off.
Margot: I was given injections into the forehead and eye area. I was delighted. somehow my whole face looked younger. They were afraid that it would be worse later, I don’t know... the action went away, everything returned as it was. The only drawback is that the effect lasted a little more than six months... although it was probably my own fault, I drank alcohol and a lot of water... The difference before and after is very noticeable, despite my 33 years. I will continue to inject
Where is Botox injected and how much does the injection cost?
Now let’s talk about where the toxin can be injected and what its effectiveness is, especially after 40 years. Typically, injections are administered into the forehead, eyebrows, nasolabial folds, lips, and under the eyes. You can also use the toxin to lift the tip of your nose and eyebrows.
Before the procedure, the amount of toxin is measured in units. How many units of Botox do you need? For each zone the number of units is different. It also depends on the condition of the skin and wrinkles, so the dosage is selected individually. I will give the average values.
Drug administration area | Botox units | Action of the toxin | price, rub. |
(average)
Forehead 15-30 units Botox injections into the forehead correct the eyebrow line and smooth out wrinkles. 5000 rubles Between eyebrows 10-20 units Vertical wrinkles are smoothed out. If they are not deep, then even after the toxin wears off, they do not appear for a long time. 4000–4500 rubles Nasolabial folds 10-20 units Botox in its pure form is rarely used, because there is a high risk of drooping corners of the mouth. Smoothing of deep nasolabial areas occurs with injections of Botox with collagen. And also with hyaluronic acid. 3000-8000 rubles Lip area 5-20 units Botox for lips allows you to eliminate asymmetry, lift the corners, and get rid of wrinkles. To enlarge lips, it is used together with hyaluronic acid. 800-8000 rubles Orbicularis oculi muscle 6-15 units “Crow’s feet” are smoothed out, deep skin creases become less noticeable. Also, an injection into this area allows you to raise your eyebrows.4500-6000 rubles The transition zone between the nose and the upper lip is 2-4 units. Allows you to slightly raise the tip of the nose. 600-1600 rubles
Calculate the approximate cost of injections based on the price of 300-400 rubles per unit of toxin. Dysport is approximately half the price.
You can find these procedures at a good discount on Biglion and Groupon. I recommend looking at the options on these sites first. So it’s better to ask the price, and read the reviews of those who have already tried it.
Is Botox harmful for the face?
Now let's figure out why Botox is harmful to the face. Negative consequences usually occur when the drug is used incorrectly. It is very important to correctly calculate the dose and location for introducing the toxin. Professionalism depends on the cosmetologist, his experience and understanding of which points to inject. The most harmless complications are bruising, swelling and redness at the sites of botulinum toxin injection.
Other side effects may include:
- headache;
- pain in the injection area;
- waxy face (complete lack of facial expressions);
- penetration of botulinum toxin into neighboring muscles;
- nausea, double vision;
- Quincke's edema;
- flu symptoms;
- drooping eyelid or eyebrow.
Doctors often keep silent about the dangers of the drug. Of course, such complications occur extremely rarely. Basically, harm to health occurs due to the incompetence of the doctor. Or this may be due to the body’s individual reaction to the drug. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict this in advance.
Of course, in addition to favorable assessments after the procedure, there are also negative consequences. In order to study this procedure from all sides, I collected negative results from injections.
Oksana: Unfortunately, I had a negative experience... I was injected with botulinum toxin in the forehead area. This is terrible... instead of smooth skin, I got drooping eyelids and eyebrows. I found another clinic, thank God they fixed everything. It turned out that the first time they injected me with the toxin in the wrong place. The moral is simple - look for a good specialist!
Lusi: My facial expression has changed... my look has become different, as if you were always walking around in surprise. Thank God the effect of the injection wore off and facial expressions were restored. I definitely won’t be getting any more injections.
Valyushka: I’m having trouble with these beauty injections... I wanted to get rid of the “crow’s feet” on the outer corners of my eyes. The specialist I went to was experienced and did everything correctly. The result was that after two days the bags under the eyes disappeared on the third day. And three weeks later I had Quincke’s edema ((I was admitted to the hospital, the immunologist told me that it was an individual intolerance.. that’s it..
Snezhana: I’m not allergic, but my experience with Botox is extraordinary. A couple of hours after the injections, I was taken away in an ambulance with Quincke's edema. no more injections((
Alenka: I was given injections in the bridge of my nose and eyebrows, it only lasts 4 months. Then it’s all over again, to be honest, it’s terrible to have to have injections three times a year. I completely abandoned this idea.
What not to do after the procedure - restrictions
In order to achieve maximum effect and the result to be visible for a long time, after injections it is necessary to observe some restrictions. In the first 4 hours after the procedure, it is necessary to maintain a strictly vertical position. You should not lower your head, this is important for the muscles. After all, after the injection of botulinum toxin, they relax and must take the correct position.
Under no circumstances should you touch the injection sites, massage them, or apply creams. It is important not to introduce infection to the injection sites. All sports are prohibited for at least 48 hours. Even measured fitness yoga and other types of physical activity are prohibited. The muscles should be at rest.
For at least 7 days, and preferably 10-14, any thermal procedures are prohibited. At this time you will have to forget about the solarium, sauna and even drying your hair with a hairdryer. The thing is that heat accelerates the removal of the drug from the body.
Swelling also nullifies the effect of Botox. For the first two weeks, try not to eat salty foods, smoked foods, or drink a lot of liquids.
As for alcohol, it is also prohibited for at least 14 days. Please take this limitation very seriously. Alcohol dilates blood vessels, in this situation botulinum toxin can be easily absorbed into the blood. This is a potentially dangerous situation for the body. Then you shouldn’t be surprised that you have complications. This also applies to blood thinners.
Botox - contraindications
Since botulinum toxin is essentially a poison, it naturally has a number of contraindications. Before listing them, I want to warn you against injections at home. Even an experienced doctor can miss the dose and injection site. What can we say about amateurs?
Trust your face only to an experienced specialist. Restoring facial expressions or, God forbid, treating angioedema will be more expensive. In what cases are Botox injections strictly contraindicated:
- chronic diseases of the lungs, liver and kidneys;
- hernia of the upper or lower eyelid;
- drooping upper eyelid;
- neuromuscular diseases of an autoimmune nature;
- severe myopia;
- poor blood clotting;
- oncology;
- predisposition to the formation of keloid and hypertrophic scars;
- individual intolerance to the components of the drug.
When planning, as well as in the early stages of pregnancy, it is better to avoid injections. Botox during pregnancy can negatively affect the fetus. This is confirmed by more than 40 recorded cases around the world. It is also worth holding off on injections during lactation. In Europe, a study of the toxin was conducted on pregnant rats. There was a negative effect on the fetus; many animals were born with pathologies of muscles and bones. Many pregnant females experienced miscarriages.
A temporary contraindication to beauty injections is fever. Exacerbation of chronic diseases, any infectious diseases, herpes. Recent facial surgery, menstruation period. Taking antibiotics, anticoagulants and anti-inflammatory drugs is also a temporary contraindication.
Well, we figured out why botulinum toxin is harmful. And also after what time you can expect maximum effect. Whether or not to resort to this method of rejuvenation is up to you to decide. If it makes you happy and gives you confidence, it's worth a try.
Yes, in addition to the facial procedure, there is also Botox for hair and Botox for eyelashes. And today I say goodbye to you, but new interesting topics await us ahead. So don't forget to subscribe for updates. Bye everyone!
The cosmetic procedure of introducing Botox to the forehead and in the area between the eyebrows allows you to prolong beauty and youth. Reviews from cosmetologists and clients show how effective the procedure is and has a long-lasting result for facial rejuvenation.
What is Botox and how does it work?
The uniqueness of Botox injections to eliminate eyebrow wrinkles allows you to even out the skin or adjust its depth. Botox is a toxin that blocks nerve impulses that regulate muscle contraction. As a result, facial movements are inhibited for a certain period. The muscles are in a relaxed position, do not wrinkle or stretch the skin, and the wrinkles themselves are smoothed out. Botox is a safe drug for health, which is completely eliminated from the body some time after the injection.
After the procedure, side effects may occur, which manifest themselves in symptoms:
- swelling;
- hematomas;
- headache;
- nausea;
- allergy.
If injections are given too close to the eyes, dry eyes may occur. Over the course of some days, all symptoms disappear, after which the final result can be seen. And if the drug is administered incorrectly, there is a risk of drooping eyebrows or eyelids, muscle paralysis, and impaired facial expressions. Complications disappear after 2 months. To speed up the improvement in appearance after complications occur, it is necessary to do lymphatic drainage massage or other procedures under the strict supervision of a physiotherapist.
The formation of wrinkles between the eyebrows indicates negative events in life. Therefore, it is not surprising, but such folds are most often called “wrinkles of anger” or “wrinkles of suffering.” Thus, to change the frowning appearance, Botox injections are recommended.
Interesting! Complications after Botox appear due to incorrect dosage or non-compliance with the technique of administering the drug.
Techniques for Botox injections between the eyebrows
Before injections, the correction area is numbed with a special cream, the effect of which begins to last after 15-20 minutes. The injection procedure itself takes no more than 30 minutes, with the patient in a sitting position with the back of the head fixed. Botox is injected between the eyebrows with thin short needles at 4 or 6 points. Injections are made at an angle of 45 0 or 90 0. To determine the injection points, you need to grimace a little. Then a cold compress is applied, which helps to constrict the blood vessels.
There is a certain method of administering the drug, during which the forehead is completely immobilized or injections are given with further preservation of facial expressions. A classic injection is given deep into the muscle at the point of greatest tension. The action of the drug spreads over a diameter of 1 - 1.5 cm. As a result, the muscles relax and the skin remains motionless. Another type of technique is done to a depth of 2 mm into the subcutaneous layers. In some cases, the 2 techniques are combined.
It is recommended to follow certain rules to prevent complications:
- do not lie down or bow your head for 4 hours;
- do not touch the injection area with your hands;
- do not use cosmetics for 24 hours;
- exclude all activities (sports, physical activity, sex) for a few days;
- exclude all thermal procedures (saunas, sunbathing) for a week;
- do not drink alcohol for 15 days;
- avoid massage and facial myostimulation for 30 days;
- refrain from taking antibiotics and B vitamins.
Important! If, after finishing the injections, hematomas appear, then it is necessary to apply a special cream.
Indications and contraindications
Injections are made for early and middle signs of aging, the age period covers from 30 to 60 years. Indications for the use of Botox are the presence of:
- horizontal and vertical wrinkles on the bridge of the nose;
- facial asymmetry;
- horizontal wrinkles in the forehead;
- crow's feet (wrinkles in the outer corners of the eyes).
Botox to eliminate glabellar wrinkles is contraindicated for:
- pregnancy or lactation;
- diabetes mellitus;
- up to 18 years old;
- diseases in acute form or in the presence of inflammatory processes;
- allergies to a drug component;
- epilepsy;
- blood clotting problems;
- autoimmune disease;
- cuts, wounds in the selected area.
The cosmetologist should tell you about the rules of skin care after the procedure, as well as the rules of behavior in order to eliminate possible negative consequences.
Average number of units
Before administering Botox, it is necessary to conduct a consultation, during which it is necessary to inform the cosmetologist about the use of medications, the presence of diseases, and the characteristics of the body.
The specialist evaluates facial activity in the frontal region, which allows you to select the required amount of the drug. If the skin is sufficiently elastic and the wrinkles are not deep, then use a minimal amount of the drug. The client’s personal wishes are also taken into account, for example, at what distance to place the eyebrows, whether to remove all wrinkles or leave some. It is practiced to administer a minimal amount of the drug when performing a cosmetic procedure for the first time. Then, after 3-4 weeks, the dose is adjusted at a second session, and if necessary, an additional dose of the substance is administered.
The required amount of Botox, which is injected between the eyebrows, ranges from 10-25 units. When the space between the eyebrows is filled, the outermost part of the eyebrow may rise slightly, which creates a defect in appearance. In this case, there is a need to perform injections in the frontal part.
When injecting Botox into the forehead to eliminate wrinkles, 10-50 units are injected. It all depends on the area where the wrinkles are located, if only on the forehead, then less than 10-30 units of the drug is needed, between the eyebrows and the frontal part, then 20-50 units.
The effect of Botox in the forehead area will be uniform if the injected drug is of the same volume. To avoid the drug falling onto the eyes, it is necessary to give injections at a distance of 2 cm from the arches of the eyebrows. When giving beauty injections, the fit of the eyebrows is taken into account. If they are low-set, which is often typical for men, then it is necessary to adjust the dose of the drug so as not to aggravate the peculiarity of facial features.
Worth paying attention! When planning cosmetic procedures, in order to avoid negative consequences, it is important to maintain order. Eyebrow tattooing is done after Botox injections.
We suggest looking at the behavioral features of the forehead injection procedure:
results
To obtain the desired result, it is necessary to carry out the procedure by professional cosmetologists. After the injection, the skin is smoothed, wrinkles are removed or become less noticeable. Water and salt balance improves, collagen and elastin production increases. The Botox procedure brings long-lasting results (from 4-6 months). After 2-4 days you can see the effectiveness of the procedure, and after 14-20 days the final effect of the drug is consolidated.
But in some cases it is necessary to contact a specialist again for correction. For certain reasons, instead of the desired result, negative consequences of Botox are observed that require correction. This may happen:
- distortion of facial features;
- accumulation of the drug in one place downwards or other unnatural changes.
The correction is carried out 3-4 weeks after the procedure itself.
Reviews
Botox between the eyebrows lasts a long period, but exactly how long depends on the correctness of the client’s actions and on the individual characteristics of the body. Customer reviews indicate the effectiveness of the procedure for eliminating facial wrinkles on the forehead.
Many people note how their appearance improves, their skin becomes smoother, their eyebrows rise, and their eyes become more expressive. Even deep wrinkles become less noticeable. Despite the fact that in some cases women experience side effects (headaches, swelling), they are satisfied with the result and intend to continue further procedures.
Good day to all.
I ask those who have decided to undergo Botox injections to respond.
Tell us how old you are, what problems you had and whether you managed to solve them. Do you regret what you did, or, on the contrary, are you glad, why?
We ask those who have no idea about this, or who have not personally encountered this, not to write.
Thank you.

I started injecting a couple of years ago. at 31 or 32. There were no special problems, I started using it so that they would not appear. When the injections were made for the first time, after some time I noticed that those facial wrinkles that were there began to smooth out. I like it and will continue to use Botox. Areas to use are the forehead and around the eyes.
I did it when I was 30, I liked the effect, my face can relax completely, but you can also frown if the dose is well chosen. Well, after a couple of times you will get out of the habit of frowning yourself))) That is, there is no effect of the mask, the face still has facial expressions.
I tried it once - my facial expression changed - I really didn’t like it
I did it at 37, I was very pleased, I did the forehead, between the eyebrows and under the eyes, my facial expressions were preserved, I will continue to do so
After I turned 30, I started injecting into the wrinkles between my eyebrows, as I was frowning a lot. I liked the effect, the facial expressions remained natural. True, the effect subsided quite quickly after about 5 months, but I noticed that I began to frown less, apparently, I had lost the habit. Sometimes I use it to maintain results. Don’t be afraid to inject, it will completely resolve in 4-5 months. I don’t advise you to inject under your eyebrows to raise them, you can hit a nerve and then you will be completely distorted.
sorry for the additional question. How much it costs?

How did the facial expressions remain natural? I thought that after Botox there was a mask effect on this place? I hit my forehead once, I thought that I wouldn’t be able to wrinkle my forehead, but it didn’t work out that way, it stayed the way it was. Then the doctor told me that Botkos “didn’t take me”
no, it’s still there, just when you’re frowning, there are no creases, you need to adjust the dosage
thanks to everyone who unsubscribed. To remove creases on the forehead, how many units are needed on average so that natural facial expressions are preserved?

I stab between the eyebrows and the forehead. There is an inverted triangle on the forehead so that the eyebrows can be raised. The price depends on the clinic and the number of units. The last time I gave away about 6 thousand, I honestly don’t remember.
Where did they do it? Are You from Moscow?
I did Botox 2 times and it didn’t work. I like Dysport better. At least he's holding on to me!
Now I will disappoint you :))))))) I didn’t inject myself, I’ll tell you about my sister. She is 35, she injected it into her forehead, between her eyebrows and on the sides of her eyes where there are crow's feet. What can I say, the forehead looks great, especially the area between the eyebrows - like a girl’s. It doesn’t even smell like wrinkles at all, it’s just perfectly smooth! The forehead is also smooth. In short - there are no wrinkles, but facial expressions! This is atas, to be honest ((((When she smiles or laughs, she has a very incomprehensible, strange expression, as I understand it, due to the fact that the muscles in the eye area are immobilized. It turns out that when she laughs, her mouth blurs as usual in a smile, and at this time the eyes remain motionless. In general, the facial expression turns out to be somehow frightening. It’s so ugly. Not that it’s unnatural, but it’s not beautiful, it’s even slightly ugly.. I don’t say anything to my sister, I don’t want her upset, and she probably sees it herself. But for myself, I decided that I would never inject Botox next to my evil eyes, even at 50. It’s better to have wrinkles than smile like that. But between the eyebrows - yes, the effect is super !

I did it for the first time at the age of 47, the effect was excellent, but my wrinkles were only slightly visible.
I went for a circular lift - why the hell do I need to inject something else?
thanks to everyone who unsubscribed. To remove creases on the forehead, how many units are needed on average so that natural facial expressions are preserved?
I’ve been injecting between the eyebrows since I was 23 years old, now I’m 26, nowhere else, everything is natural, no one guesses, I can’t frown, it’s only better, it’s like it’s always positive) So that everything would be tight for me, for 8 months where then I need 15 units.
I’m doing well, I really, really like it, I’ve done it twice. But I advise you to find it based on reviews, otherwise you never know, they will really cut it, it will be ugly)
I had my forehead done for the first time when I was 23 - facial wrinkles were caused by a bad habit of wrinkling. Then once a year, then there was a break for 2 years. Now I want to do it again.
I inject between the eyebrows, they smooth out, I like it, and once I did it in crow’s feet near the eyes - horror, for two months there was large swelling under the eyes, and the effect of Botox lasted for four months. I don’t experiment with my eyes anymore.
I inject my forehead and crow's feet, only 35 units, which is already more than average, but I'm 44. The one who wrote that the scary facial expression when smiling is a special case of your sister or an unsuccessful doctor, everything is great with me. The crow's feet go away completely after 3 months, you need to finish them off. Forehead - six months. The faster the metabolism, the faster it goes away. For athletes, it goes away after a couple of weeks. Also contributes to the rapid “withdrawal” of Botox from the sauna. Antibiotics and B vitamins. But the doctor will tell you
I also inject it into the corners of my lips so that the corners of my lips rise and the jowls disappear, you only need a little there (6 units). But doctors often say that they don’t inject lips because they don’t know how to do it. They hurt and the effect is superb. But it goes away quickly, within 2-3 months. But the sponges are a sight for sore eyes.
A few years after these Botox treatments, my face looks terrible. It's hard to explain, you have to see it. It is noticeable, in short, that the aunt is constantly doing something, but to little avail. A friend of mine has been doing this for a long time, about 8 years already. Now she is 42, but looks older.
Girls, who injected in Moscow, write in which clinics
I inject under the eyebrows to open up my eyes, I really like the effect!)) I have injected into the upper area of the forehead before. I'm 26
Once I pricked my forehead in the spring to raise my eyebrows. A month later it was released. Two months later there was no trace left. It's a pity for the money, I was counting on at least three months. I won’t inject anymore; I’m planning surgery on my upper eyelids in the spring.
But the first month was good. In general, my facial expressions are inactive, I don’t wrinkle my forehead, I move my face a little, so it wasn’t noticeable, only my eyebrows raised a little.
Now I will disappoint you :))))))) I didn’t inject myself, I’ll tell you about my sister. She is 35, she injected it into her forehead, between her eyebrows and on the sides of her eyes where there are crow's feet. What can I say, the forehead looks great, especially the area between the eyebrows - like a girl’s. It doesn’t even smell like wrinkles at all, it’s just perfectly smooth!

Today I injected for the third time, I’m 25. I’m very pleased, the effect is excellent. I prick the forehead and between the eyebrows, 24 units
Good afternoon everyone. I would like to ask those who decided to get Botox injections to respond. Tell us how old you are, what problems you had and whether you managed to solve them. Do you regret what you did, or, on the contrary, are you glad, why? Please do not write to those who have no idea about this, or who have not personally encountered this. Thank you.
I do it in San Lazare. I’m 43, I inject my forehead, between the edges, around the eyes - only 55 units (350 rubles each). But I still have a 20% discount. I’ve been doing it for several years, before that I tried to do it in another clinic - they said that Botox and Dysport didn’t work for me. But here everything “takes”. I do it once every six months, but it goes away faster, after about 4 months. The facial expressions are flexible. And in the first months the effect is superb, no mask, just wrinkles are smoothed out. I look several years younger. For 3 weeks you can’t drink alcohol (not a drop!), no facial massage, baths, saunas. Overall a great invention.
They're talking nonsense about alcohol. I also drink immediately after injections - no problem
Damn girls. These are super shots. Even though I’m only 25, I already actively use them. Because They are excellent at preventing the appearance of wrinkles. I noticed that my facial expressions became much calmer, it was so nice. Previously, I constantly wrinkled my forehead terribly, but now it’s grace, with the help of injections I forgot how to do this, which I’m very pleased with. Once you install it, you go for 8 months and don’t know any troubles. The main thing is to put it in a good clinic. Never save on this and under no circumstances place it in a simple beauty salon. Because Not even doctors can give these injections, but can you imagine what “professionals” give in salons, it’s already scary. And if they put it in the wrong place, goodbye face, facial expressions, etc. This is my third time at the same clinic. Pretty terrible.
How do you look at 25, that you are already injecting Botox?

After Botox injections I become distracted.
I’m 26, I’ve never had a prick, but there’s a terrible space between my eyebrows (((it makes me look very old, I really need to advise your cosmetologist, I’m afraid to go to strangers. And what are their prices. Thank you very much
Yesterday I gave myself Botox injections in the crease between my eyebrows, I’m 35. I was looking for someone to go to for a long time, I went to Ottimo to Papava Ekaterina, I liked the reviews about her. injected 15 units. There are no results yet, but they promised in 4 days, I’ll write when they appear) The doctor herself is wonderful, you communicate with her as if you’ve known each other for a long time. She told me everything and answered all the questions. The injections were completely painless, I did them without freezing, although my sensitivity level is low. There are no traces left. All we have to do is wait for the results)
I’m 23, but due to constant lack of sleep, I have lines under my eyes, and now, even if I sleep or don’t sleep, they don’t go away, I look really older. I think Botox will help in this case, but my facial expressions are very lively and this is my distinctive feature, I’m afraid of losing it. Recommend a clinic in St. Petersburg so they can do it well
Girls, I’m 32. Today I had Botox done between my eyebrows and around my eyes, and then I went to work. There was some redness afterwards, but it all went away quickly, at work everyone noticed that I looked really good. My husband came home from work and immediately complimented me. I can’t stop looking at myself, I had bags under my eyes and they were pulling up. I gave 10 thousand. Did it in Chicago. I want to put hyaluronic acid in my nasolabial lips, the cosmetologist said it will come out on 12.
thanks to everyone who unsubscribed. To remove creases on the forehead, how many units are needed on average so that natural facial expressions are preserved?
Here you can’t get by with Botox alone. I know, for example, that my cosmetologist always uses fillers for wrinkles. Gilauronka is best in these cases. And the filler itself will be selected for you by your cosmetologist. Depending on your wishes)))

Do not forget! There are also cosmetologists hanging out here who praise Botox; not one has yet spoken about the side effects (for obvious reasons). Read on the neighboring branches.
I’ve been doing Botox for about a year... I don’t regret it one bit) The wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes have smoothed out and no new ones are forming... And my friends don’t realize that I’m injecting it... It also really depends on the specialist. And don’t inject yourself at home or at hairdressers.. Then your facial expressions will be fine
