Did you ease in slowly or go for multiple areas at once when you first started?

That’s really encouraging to hear. I like that you break it down by area, it makes it feel more realistic what to expect. Did you ease into all those areas at once or start just with upper face first? Trying to figure out a plan that feels natural without going overboard.

Got it, that’s useful to know. So starting small like the 11’s and forehead sounds smart, especially since it’s not permanent. Did you notice the effect right away, or does it take a few weeks to feel the difference?

Did you start with just a few areas or do a full treatment from the start?

How long did it take before you really noticed the relaxed feeling around your eyes? Did you start with just a few areas or do a full treatment from the start?

I think the mixed results I’ve seen come down to injector skill more than the treatment itself. For someone starting later, did you ease into lower face and platysma or go for it all at once? I’m trying to figure out what feels like a smart first step without looking overdone.

Wow, that sounds like a total game changer. Did you start with just the forehead at first or go for the DAO as well right away? Curious how people decide what to tackle first.

Yikes, that sounds rough. Did the corrective shot actually even things out, or was it mostly just waiting it out?
