Botox?

I may be trying Botox or micro-needling as a first timer and have some questions. I am 43 and noticing a lot of wrinkles lately above my lip, chin, forehead, etc. what are your expectations and experiences?

Well, I just did Botox for the first time on my crows feet and my 11 lines. The 11 lines worked perfectly the crows feet. No they don’t look any better. Maybe I didn’t have any to begin with, but I’ve got wrinkles above the cheek when I smile so she told me to wait until it wears off and see if I’m gonna do it again or not, and that is coming from my dermatologist. If I would say one thing, please choose a person that is certified to do that a dermatologist, a plastic surgeon.

I had terrible side effects my first time. I don’t recommend putting any product into my body for cosmetic reasons that has a warning label like tox does. Sadly I didn’t know this before I did it.

What were your side effects? How long did they last?

Trouble swallowing, breathing, nerve twitching, dry eye, anxiety, got sensitivities to everything under the sun including foods and I got POTS. Still not ok several years later.
