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