Botox

{don't flame me please}

Anyone ever get botox? What are you general thoughts on the stuff? I've got some pretty deep squint lines between my eyes that I'd love to get rid of.


(I don't vaccinate, so I feel like a bit of a hypocrite even asking this.)

To me having botulism injected into your face is just not good commonsense KWIM?

Besides people who have botox always look obvious - it paralyses the muscles around the injection site, therefore leads to a lack of facial expression in the area.

Have you heard about alternatives such as acupuncture facial rejuvenation? I find that massaging the area around lines when I moisturise also minimises their effect....of course it's all only a holding off strategy. If the lines are where i think they are they will be exacerbated by squinting and frowning - so put your sunnies on and smile!!
