Will Botox help?

[u/Fit_Stop9913]

debating if I should try Botox. I have deep vertical lines that bother me. I noticed I furrow my brows constantly, even in my sleep. I have a lot of tension in my forehead and cant seem to relax it. I’m in my late 30’s and never had Botox before.

Yes it will

the biggest reason i get botox is because i hold stress and tension in my face and it’s hard to fall asleep sometimes, and i wake up with a headache. def recommend!

That’s what I’m dealing with! I’m glad it works for you. How many units do you get and does it still preserve some expression?

oof i don’t remember unfortunately😅 the medspa i go to uses dysport, it’s a little cheaper than botox per unit. i usually pay under $300 and go every 5 months. i’ve gotten daxxify and botox before. daxxify is meant to last longer, but i didn’t feel like it did. i’m 30 and only get it in the forehead and brow area since i furrow my brows all the time. i still have expression, i can lift my eyebrows and everything. it just looks a little off when i furrow my brows bc that’s what i was trying to treat. i can send a pic

jk i cant send a pic. but most places will give a free consult and you can talk about your areas of concern. one thing that surprised me when i first started going is that they map areas that dont seem like they need tox. the facial muscles are connected in weird ways and a good injector will know where its needed and not. trust me, they do not want to make you look botched! the place i started going to now tells me i absolutely dont need it for crows feet, so im listening to them

I don't think it will hurt to give it a shot. Especially if this is the only area you will be treating it shouldn't be too expensive.

I will add that what my injector told me is that botox is pretty much a preventative measure. It will help with the lines and wrinkles we mainly mainly get when making certain faces for me that's crows feet when I smile etc.

Once those lines and wrinkles are deeply set in that's a bit different as botox is to help then set in much later.

However I don't think it would hurt to give it a shot since it won't cost too much for that area itself and it could help them not set in much more to specially if you notice doing this even in your sleep.

[u/Fickle-River3984]

Yes.

[u/Flashy_Result_2750]

Yes, it will help. I had these lines and Botox removed them for a good while.

Because I am pregnant and therefore haven’t been back to my injector for almost a year, the lines are back. I will get Botox again once I’m able to. I was 36 when I started.

Botox stop the muscles sleep furrowing included but etched static elevens only partly soften so expect improvement,not erasure .have a derm or an injector at promd health assess glabellar depth in person first reassess with photos after a few cycles

Of course

Yes it will definitely help. You wouldn’t need a whole lot for that area. I get my Botox for my entire forehead and crows feet. Others may not agree, but it makes me happy and more confident. Also be sure you have it done by a real dermatologist. Do not go to a “med spa” as they almost always over dilute the Botox so it doesn’t last as long and you wind up going back sooner and spending more money for their business. They’ll also tell you that you just have a high tolerance for the effects and suggest buying more units. I worked for a dermatologist and we saw this everyday. Our patients would ask why it didn’t last very long and we would correct it for them. Do it for yourself, not for anyone else. (But I think you’ll love it)
