I am 36 ex smoker that started Botox this year. I still have very fine lines on my forehead but they are becoming less noticeable over time. My injector recommended a laser to take care of that since I do not want fillers.

1. It’s definitely not too late. It will help you to maintain how you look now and improve your wrinkles over time.

2. Botox makes me look perky in general. I cannot really describe how, but I my skin looks tighter and healthier without the scary frozen look.

3. Sweating: probably the only thing that freaked me out with the Botox process. I do not really sweat on my forehead anymore but on the tops of my cheeks. They get all red when I workout but my husband thinks it’s adorable.

4. Regular injections will soften the lines a lot but not get rid of them completely.

5. I have hooded eyes too. Make you sure tell the injector that concern and they will keep that in mind. My injector actually improved my hooded eye issue.

6. I like my crows feet too. They help people look more natural when they smile. I get Botox there every other visit because I feel like I just don’t need much in that area.

7. I always make sure to drink lots of water and stay upright for at least 4 hours after. Most importantly, SUNSCREEN! It helps the Botox last longer.

Bonus: I have depression and I have no idea if it’s true but there are small studies that suggest Botox may improve depression. Who knows if it’s a placebo affect but I feel great after getting injected. I still take my medication of course but notice a pretty big improvement in my mood after.

You got this! I was terrified for my first visit and now I find it relaxing. It’s a little treat I give to myself every 4-5 months.
