I pay about $12/unit (cost varies greatly depending on where you are located). I typically get around 40 units each time. I do my 11s (between my brows) crows feet, jaw for teeth grinding and a tiny bit for a gummy smile/lip flip. My gummy smile is minimal so I don’t get a lot there.<br /> I’ve been going for about 5 years and I’m very happy with the results. I don’t feel like my face is super frozen at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botox-anyone#post-2926422 Sat, 05 Mar 2022 09:08:04 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2926422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LadyDi: I pay about $8 a unit and get 15 units. Not too bad at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botox-anyone#post-2926421 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 22:38:38 +0000 Shantuck 2926421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my first Botox in July at 41 and again a couple months ago at 42. I love the results. I did my forehead, upper lip, and jaw (to manage TMJ issues). The derm I go to recommended using a prescription strength retinol while the muscles were weakened to help promote skin turnover and my skin has never looked better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botox-anyone#post-2926420 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 14:45:08 +0000 LadyDi 2926420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: Do you mind if I ask how much it costs? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botox-anyone#post-2926419 Fri, 04 Mar 2022 14:42:39 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2926419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get Botox in my forehead. It is not a lot of upkeep - at all. It’s a 10 minute appointment 4 times a year. It has totally erased a line I had that was getting deep. Read reviews and find someone you trust :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botox-anyone#post-2926414 Thu, 03 Mar 2022 15:38:49 +0000 LadyDi 2926414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: @bhbee: It does seem like a ton of upkeep...I can barely make an appointment to get my hair cut twice a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botox-anyone#post-2926410 Thu, 03 Mar 2022 14:01:30 +0000 hellobeeboston 2926410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have lots of friends who go, I will probably go at some point but am a little scared... Our 20-something nanny and all of her friends already go preventatively! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botox-anyone#post-2926404 Wed, 02 Mar 2022 17:25:16 +0000 bhbee 2926404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend who loves the results (she’s 42) - definitely do your research and get word of mouth for a great person who won’t make you look too fake. She did her forehead and between her eyebrows I think. I just don’t know if I can handle the upkeep though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botox-anyone#post-2926403 Wed, 02 Mar 2022 17:16:22 +0000 agold 2926403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LadyDi: I could have posted the exact same thing! My cousin in her 20s and all of her friend already have faces frozen in time. It's a ton of upkeep and I can't imagine have to do all of that for decades. But I'm also worried that I'm going to really regret not doing something more once I get into my 40s. That being said, my husband is against it and also wants me to age gracefully. I'm choosing to invest in creams and facials. And just praying I do, in fact, age gracefully. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botox-anyone#post-2926402 Wed, 02 Mar 2022 16:15:29 +0000 LadyDi 2926402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following because I was thinking about posting this same question here! A few of my friends have started to get botox and my husband is VERY against this so I don't think it will be in the cards for me because it's probably not a hill I want to die on (yet) but I am pretty jealous of their smooth foreheads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botox-anyone#post-2926401 Tue, 01 Mar 2022 23:57:54 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2926401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m 43 and starting to dislike my frown lines between by eyes. Does anyone here have any Botox experience? </p>
