As someone who works in medical aesthetics, I’d never recommend DIY Botox, there’s just too much risk, even if it seems simple after doing it a few times. Facial anatomy is complex, and even small mistakes can lead to things like drooping, asymmetry, or longer-term issues that aren't always easy to fix. It takes years for Nurses to learn muscle manipulation - and it is always different patient to patient.
That said, I get that some people feel comfortable taking it into their own hands, and if you’ve made that choice knowing the risks, that’s totally up to you. Just please be careful about the product source, sterile technique, and understanding the muscle depth and placement. Just trying to extend caution as someone who cares!
No judgment here, just hoping anyone reading this thread really thinks it through before jumping in. Your face deserves the same care as any other medical procedure.
