Would you ever use Botox?
Susan 1265302Apr 13, 25
I find that as I age, my facial wrinkles are getting deeper. I was thinking of using Botox to lessen their appearance.
Would you ever use Botox?

              It's safe. It boosts confidence. If you're leary just take collagen gummies. They work after 2 weeks to lessen appearance of wrinkles . I get the injection 💉 free as a gift but it's a vain purchase, I prefer the bovine gummies . However I did appreciate the botox gift :)

                      Botox needles feel no worse than a mosquito bite. The needle goes in the same depth as a mosquito 🦟 too! It's quick and almost painless . Your head will feel achey for a day or so . After 2 weeks you'll see results that last about 4 or 5 months :)

                      Not true when they have to go into stiff already sore muscles for medical reasons 😔But they are at least over with quickly and do help vastly.

                      No, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If the beholder doesn't find you beautiful, do they really love you?

                          Our collagen starts to lose as we age, that reduces the elasticity of the skin, hence wrinkles. It’s very natural as we age. The injection is to fill the gap of the lacking of collagen. It’ll dissolve into the body and another injection is needed. Due to the nature of the injection and the aging body, more injections as both volumes and frequencies will be needed, hence you’ll need a very secure financial support till you can’t get to the money hungry clinics. By then, your face will look way worse than no injections. I rather spend the money on better lifestyle, skincare routine & products, including sunscreens and exercise. And spend the other money to enrich my experience, eg travel & watch shows.

                            If you really want to do it to help with confidence and self esteem, do some research and see if you can find someone with dentistry background. Most of the injections are carried out by nurses or people did the minimum qualifications. Out of all the medical professionals, dentists know facial muscles better than others, which helps the precision and effectiveness.

                            No definitely not. Try a good facial cream for removing wrinkles.

                                No. I have earned every line, every wrinkle, and every blemish. I prefer to think of it as a life well lived.

                                          No way Jose. You do know Botox is botulism which is bacteria which causes food poisoning don't you, and that some people have developed botulism after injections. I'll do everything within reason to keep lines and creases away within reason such as creams and vitamins but I will not inject my body with poison.

                                                    No What happens when it is not just wrinkles but side effects of frozen face, I heard of a person who botox went wrong and now she has to use a device just to open her nostrils to breathe and when she tried to sue they said she knew the risk it was not there fault if she could no longer make a living as a singer or model even if that was her job before and the doctor knew that was what she did as a living. She had to go to the ER because when side effects first started the doctor was not available and could not be reached

Why would anyone knowingly have themselves injected with such Poison? Do people not realise that Botox is derived from the killer disease known as The Plague? One day we can be sure a massive mistake will be made, or some terrorist will do it deliberately, and manage to get the Live Bacteria into this muck and then what? Some US, British and other Top Scientists, including Neurilogists have warned that repeated use of Botox will, eventual, create damage which can never be repaired. Botox Freezes Muscles which stops them being used. This is where the old adage comes into play Use it or Lose it. The Neurologists say that repeated freezing of muscles, including those on your face means that those muscles will DIE and once DEAD they cannot be revived so what will happen to your pretty, unlined face then? The skin will simply collapse long before you reach the age when your Breasts, Arms, Tummy, Bottom normally do! So Girls, and many Boys today, stop wasting your money and voluntarily putting your young, youthful, faces, and the few beautiful Smile lines, etc. at risk of Total, Utter, Unrepairable Collapse!

EVERYONE'S getting deeper wrinkles ... it's better than the alternative - being dead.Have you got nothing else to worry about? Lucky you.

It's only temporary and skin will sag with age regardless of botox injections (unless you weight lift a lot and maintain muscle density) Also I think being able to form genuine expressions is far more attractive because it's more relatable and gives a wholesome feeling. A more holistic approach? Eat vitamin c rich foods, tomato paste for lycopene, natural fats in foods like fish/avocado/olive oil/nuts, good protein like eggs/meat/gelatin, vitamin a/beta carotene foods and reduce sugar and processed foods in general. Wear a daily sunscreen SPF 30 minimum and use a topical retinoid. Practice fasting for short periods to increase glucagon production but make sure to maintain weight and not become deficient (eat more nutritious foods to avoid this), plus don't eat right before bed to avoid free radical damage (finnish eating at least 2 hours before sleeping). Lift weights because the grannies/grandpa's that weight lift always look younger than their skinny fat peers (just google it and you'll see what I mean).

And if you are one of the unlucky ones that are Botox resistance...well lets just say you will be spending $$$ just to get back to where you were before you started using Botox. Embrace your age! I'm 60+ with snow white grey hair and loving it. I think I look better now than that stupid young version of me I use to be running around chasing the latest fashions. What a load of time I wasted/lol. I get to be the real me now.

It’s not about chasing youth, but more about feeling a bit more confident when I look in the mirror. Has anyone here had experience with Botox, and would you recommend it? I’d love to hear your honest thoughts.

I’m 70, not a bit vain, but I like to feel better about myself. I’d never go for those big lips, but my wrinkles are so deep in my face. It helps and takes a few weeks to kick in after you get the shots, I can’t frown, as I got 2 little shots there. They last about 3-4 months, then wear off. Treat yourself and try it!
