Just make sure you go to a reputable injector
What are your thoughts on botox? I had it once in my twenties and loved it, though figured it wasn’t something I wanted to maintain long-term. I still recommend it to some of my clients and particularly for those who have that tricky glabellar line(s) (between the eyes) on their forehead.
It’s a relatively low risk procedure, and side effects such as facial pain, headaches and muscle weakness which can cause drooping eyelids and even double vision are rare.
However I’m a little concerned to see a worrying trend of much younger women using botox regularly as a way to prevent any lines from occurring. The reality is that we only have about 20 years of practical usage of botox for cosmetic purposes, so we still don’t know what a lifetime of botulism use will look like.
As always, with any cosmetic/medical procedure, I urge you to seek out the best provider you can (with references). My moto is, if they’re not qualified enough to fix a problem when it happens (e.g. they should at the very least be able to prescribe antibiotics quickly if you get an infection), then choose another injector. Or try to choose natural first!
