so I get like 20-22 units for crows feet and smile lines under my eyes. they usually dont like to go under the eye since its delicate but I ask to go as low and into the tender area as they can. Its $14/unit if I dont go on fri so I make my appt early. And they gove a free 5 unit touch up 2 weeks later if you arent happy. thats a huge deal.
1 place I called was $16 a unit.
I love it and it makes me feel comfident and Not always "tired" looking which I hated. It last a full 3 months and starts wearing off and gone by 5 months.

ilovemyself, I'm just curious-why would you post about a non-cosmetic use of Botox in a thread about Botox in a cosmetic surgery forum? I am really happy for you that this method is assisting you, but I think most folks come to this forum to learn about cosmetic procedures, seek advice, etc.

Do you actually use the soap in the box or just stand on it? Funny that the same gender that gave women body issues to begin with would preach about "natural Beauty". Sooo sorry that it offends your delicate sensibilities that here in the 21st century women are taking advantage of science, not tfor the benifit of men, but for ourselves...i bet you have an anti-abortion sticker on your bumper.
please also be aware of if you think that you go through this procedure and you think that it will be painless that it may or may not be. in the legs and in a high dozage situation is painful.
i have been awake through this process and asleep through it too. when your awake you can feel whats going on especially when it hits a muscle.
if you are scared of going through this process but need to have confidence in yourself and always tell the truth to the people around you.
if you are a bit of a wimp like myself well just take a dvd player and family guy or the simpsons on dvd.
p.s always remember that when its over were all on the same team and that you,ll look or be able to walk run or swim more easy. all dependant on the area were its done
Scottish guy age 22 I get botox injections in my legs . helps me keep going like car oil in a car. without them i would be in a wheelchair. have been in a wheelchair few times not good.
pretty expensive procedure hurts a little bit too. I dont do it to make me look better is more of a necessity other than a luxury.
i believe its totally wrong for men and woman to go through this just to look better have you people not heard of natural beauty.

I had my first botox experience about 6 months ago. The area above my eyes had always sagged over my lids, making me look tired. I recieved 24 units of botox around my eyes ,which i could barely feel , and in 24 hours i looked better than i have ever looked...Botox rocks, period! It is about $15 a unit...and worth every penny.

I have it too and think its great, i originlly had it to try and improve a facial tic round my eye, only improved that abit but made my eye area appear much smoother so now will continue for that reason! it prevents the signs of ageing after you stop then you will return to the way you were before the treatments, no more wrinkles, my doc told me that the reason some people have the startled effect is because they left it too late to treat so then have to have alot put in so starting earlier is better .

i have had it done for the between-the-eyebrows (glabella) frown lines as well as the crow's feet area and honestly, i feel like it does take years off..my sister hadn't seen me for a few months and last time commented on how i don't have any wrinkles..so i shared. i don't like the "expressionless" face and still feel expressive getting just these areas treated, and probably will never get my forehead lines done for that reason. it's about $250/area where i go, and it lasts a good three months with gradual fading till gone at about 4 months. love it love it love it.

I also have some worries about long term side affects. The FDA doesn't seem to be testing drugs as well these days and where I live in south Florida some people got bad botox and it nearly killed them. They look really terrible now and they were pretty attractive before the botox. I hear stuff about people having problems with drugs they took years later and I don't want to be one of them. Botox is a poison so it does worry me. Is it worth the risk just to try to stop the aging process (which is not really possible in the long run)? But then, on the other hand, I am 50 years old and I hate what is happening to my face and body!

I heard it will eventually permanently get rid of those eye and forehead wrinkles. I spoke with a plastic surgeon and he told me they tend to lose customers for awhile after a few treatments. I hope that is true. I have been thinking of trying it myself but the expense is keeping me away.
Really? Interesting. I feel the same way about the cost. Perhaps in a few years-and after a few more trials with wrinkle creams-I'll take the Botox plunge.

It cost me about 250.00 for one area. I have had eyes and forhead done. Every third visit was only 150.00. I am in NC. It lasted 3-4 months and your face went back to normal after the injections would wear off. No more new wrinkles. It can be addicting. You get used to not having wrinkles
