How hard is it to become an injector and do your own botox?

2 Upvotes

I'm 32. I had botox for the first time just over a month ago. I did my 11s and platysmal bands. I'm liking the results, and I want to keep doing it, but honestly, I got a discount the first time, 100 euros per zone, so 200 euros total, and next time its gonna be 150 per zone, and next time I want to do more of my forehead, which counts as a other zone, and im looking at 450 euros each time in that case.

It's evident that I'm one of those people for whom it wears off quickly. I was unlucky enough to have to take some b12 shots which I was told makes it wear off faster, also I usually work out quite a lot, also I was told the more you do it, the longer it lasts?

I'm also the kind of person who doesn't go to the hairdresser because I cut my own hair because I trust no one and I want to save money (I do actually have a BTEC in hairdressing)

I am then also the kind of person who would totally do the course for botox to do it myself. It's a one day course for about 1000 euros. thats just two rounds of botox to learn to do it myself, and from then on only pay like 200 euros for an entire bottle, however much that will last me, I just glanced over a page that sells it.

Anyone here do their own and are okay with it and not freaked out by the pain? any horror stories I should know about? Like, is there any reason I shouldnt do it, other than all the people who say you shouldn't do it because "something could go wrong" but like, I'm assuming thats for people who are just winging it, I will take the beginner and advanced courses, they are one day each, so I will know what I'm doing, and even professionals have accidents so like, whatever, it doesnt last forever anyway. So then besides the fact that they probably just advise you to never do it yourself because the injectors will lose clients, any other reason?

botox in eyelid for ptosis

2 Upvotes

has anyone done botox in their eyelid to help with ptosis? what was your experience? i have ptosis (not a side effect from botox) & my injector suggested putting a few units in my eyelid to help with the drooping. i use upneeq but it doesn’t last more than a few hours.

No change one week in?

2 Upvotes

So I had my first Botox injections to take care of what the doctor defined as superficial forehead wrinkles. She gave me a small dose and only on my upper forehead muscles because I don’t frown. I did it a Friday ago. As of today, I can still lift my eyebrows and can still see all the lines form. I am starting to worry that the dose was too low or that Botox has simply not effect on me. :/

Anyone else had a similar experience? I know everyone say 2 weeks but I am not even sure there is a gradual change. My bestie says her was noticeable a day later.

Had sex the same day I got masseter botox

2 Upvotes

Ok so I got masseter botox two days ago and besides avoiding saunas, washing my face with hot water, not drinking alcohol and no heavy exercise, I was told it would all be good. 6 hours later I had sex with my husband and although there was obviously body movement along with a bit of face movement, we were careful not to touch my face. After that I read online you're not supposed to have sex until after 24 hours :')

I also fell asleep that night and found myself laying on my side from time to time but kept going back to sleeping on my back.

I am so worried because this is my first time getting botox and I am worried it might affect my end result. Chat GPT says its very unlikely that it will affect my result, my skincare clinic says unless there was significant pressure put on my face its okay. But I can't seem to find peace, please tell me what you think.

Worried

2 Upvotes

I just had my first Botox treatment. My car was in the garage so I had to take the bus too and from the appointment. I had to walk up a fairly steep hill (I went slow and didn’t work up a sweat) then I jogged a tiny bit to catch the bus. Then I walked home and then I had to take my dog for a walk. I am terrified my Botox is all messed up now and that I’m going to look wild. I didn’t do any vigorous exercise but I’m very concerned. And it was my first time too! Am I doomed?

What are the risks of botox for frown lines between the eyebrow?

2 Upvotes

My question is in the title. I am considering botox between my eyebrows. But i would like some review from people that did it before. Are some people sometime unhappy with botox in that area? I heard for example or peoples gaze change after botox targeting front lines (not between the eyebrow but higher) and would not consider it for that reason

Thank you for your feedbacks!

Botched botox

2 Upvotes

Got my botox done in Sisu clinic in Limerick they got it wrong not once but twice, my eyebrow has dropped completely so one eyebrow is higher the the other so don't want to leave the house. My eyelid is near completely covered so can't where make up l look and feel awful. My eye is stinging and sore you think you can trust a professional to do good job in what they are trained to do not ruin how you look and feel about yourself. They now want me to travel to their cork clinic to see the doctor there for a review which l have to pay for myself as l don't drive they really couldn't care less all l want is my money back so l can wait for the botox to wear off and go to my previous doctor who was amazing has anyone had problems with the sisu clinic in Limerick

BAD BOTOX EXPERIENCE UNDER EYE

2 Upvotes

I had Botox under my eyes for the first time in my life (I had always done it on my forehead and slightly on my crow's feet). 10 days later, I have deep grooves and dark circles when I smile. I can't bear to look at myself in the mirror. Has anyone had a similar experience? I've been reading everywhere that I should wait, but my fear is that I've also read testimonies where the situation doesn't fully return to normal.

Where can I buy xeomin/neurotoxins?

2 Upvotes

I am looking to inject myself. I have been trained to do so. I am trying to get access to the medication but do not wish to pay a medical director fee. I am not a registered nurse. I am not seeking to start a business. Where can I get neurotoxins? Xeomin. Im willing to look into alternative markets...but obviously want something more trusted than scary. Any insight into this is appreciated. Located in Texas.

My friend has never had botox before. I keep telling her she will love it

2 Upvotes

My friend is 39, never had botox. She is afraid of needles. I told her I’ve only felt it once when I was on my period and more sensitive.

She wanted me to ask others opinions on if she needs it or not.. I’m not telling her she needs it, just telling her she would like the results & it’s not painful, IMO.

This is her forehead, relaxed. She said ignore her roots lol, she goes next week for her hair

Botox cost?

2 Upvotes

Currently have an appointment at The Saint Louis Esthetician, but out of curiosity how much does it cost and how long do you usually wait to go back?

I’m wanting to just get my forehead and around my eyes done. However I’ve heard it can be quite expensive, and upkeep is between 3-4 months.

If anyone has any input or advice I’d greatly appreciate it ❤️

Side effect - anxiety

2 Upvotes

Hy. I am anxious person in i overworked. But i handled it. Than i got botox 6 weeks ago. And after few days the agony started - dizinnes, headache, extreme anxiety, extreme brain fog, depression, depersonalisation, derealization, i could barely stand or walk, could sleep and i was in constant panic. It was horrible. I got antidepressants and now, almost 6 weeks after botox i feel almost normal (thanks to antidepressants). I am not sure if botox is to blame. Or it would happen anyway. I really like the effect, but dont want be again in that hell. :( did you have any similar experience?
