Reviews: What’s everyone saying about BOTOX

Wonder what people think of Botox? Celebs may love it (or hate it), but let’s find out what people like you and me think about having this amazing multi-purpose treatment. Here we have compiled some of worth-sharing opinions of patients who’ve had Botox injections and let’s see what they say.

 Botox for Underarm Sweating

“My underarms used to drip before I started getting Botox for excessive sweating. The twice-yearly injections—about 20 per armpit — are not fun, but the payoff is sweet smelling.” —Robin, age 51

 Confidence Boost

“At first I didn’t think I needed Botox. Now I’m scared to stop because I love what it has done for me. I feel younger, prettier and more confident” —Melissa, age 35

Never too old for Botox

“When deep creases started lining my forehead at age 27, I knew they’d only become deeper and more noticeable with age. I use Botox not necessarily to look younger, but to ensure that I won’t look older.” —Michelle, age 30

Potential risks

Instead of preventing migraines, this treatment actually caused one within 2 days of the injection and caused my eye to droop (which lasted for 2 months). I will never try this again.

Migraine Solution

Experienced weak neck muscles for about 5 days after the injections. Felt like I needed a neck brace to hold my head up. I had a very stiff neck prior to the inj, the inj loosened the cervical joints up. Very pleased with the reduction in migraines. I have gone from 4/wk down 1/wk in 1 month.

Positives

I am 52 years old and would classify my skin condition as very good. I have been receiving Botox treatments for crow's feet, forehead and between the brow for two years now. Each treatment lasts about 4 months. Treatment results lasted about 3 months in the beginning. The difference in the appearance of my face is remarkable. The moderately deep lines between my brow are completely gone. Forehead lines and crows feet are also gone. Natural facial movement and expression is present even though muscle movement is altered by the Botox. I receive treatments from a cosmetic dermatologist very experienced with the procedure.

Satisfaction

The procedure has some mild discomfort but this does not last long. there is about 5-7 injections in the area between the eyes, 5-10 injections for the forehead and 6-8 injections for around the eyes. after the injections you are encouraged to move the muscle areas that have been injected to allow the botox to move to its site of action. you are left with very little visible evidence of having had a invasive procedure. the effect begins between 3 days to 2 weeks and lasts for 3-4 months. i had no complications and was happy with my results.
