Botox or Notox Update - 4 1/2 months later

I think most readers know that I had botox for my birthday in February. Here are the before photos and here are the 2 weeks after photos. It was my first taste and I only got it on the frown lines between my brows.  Many, many people had lots of questions, particularly friends and family. It seems that people are very curious about botox. I don't blame them, the results were fantastic and I was completely thrilled.

Now, 4 1/2 months on...

I am almost back to my grumpy old frowny face again. My charming 6 year old has even commented that I need more botox. Thanks kid, it's really easy for a 6 year old to criticise. I was aware that botox would only last for 3 - 6 months. For some reason, I was still hoping that it would be more like 8 (or even 12 months).

To answer a few of your questions...

Was it worth $300? Yes, I received it as a birthday gift but if I hadn't I would have found a way to do it anyway.

Would I do it every 4 months? If I had the money yes. I would even be happy with only twice a year.

Would I do it elsewhere on my face? No, I am still only concerned about my angry lines. All my happy lines can stay and they can even invite friends to join them. I want to look like I have lived a happy life not locked in the Barbie Dream house staring blankly at Ken.

Do I want other work now? No. I am far from perfect but happy to look like me (for now).

Botox or Notox? 2 weeks later with photos

It has been two weeks since I visited COZmedics and voluntarily had botox injected between my eyebrows 6 times. The two things people are always asking:
1. Did it hurt? and
2. Can you show me your frown?

Firstly the Pain
I was expecting the worst, I had even considered putting numbing cream across the area before going in. I truly didn't feel any pain, AT ALL. Maybe I am unusually tough, maybe I missed my true calling of a secret government agent able to hold up under torture and not give up government secrets, probably. Or maybe it actually didn't hurt. I would like to send my husband in to see if he thinks it hurts but I really wouldn't want to give up the rest of my day to nurture him back to health.

Secondly, my Frown
Ahh, no! I have been a performing monkey too many times over the last 2 weeks. You have seen my last frown attempt. I went to all the trouble of getting botox to get rid of my frown. You have been looking at it for the last 2, 5 or 10 years, aren't you sick of my frowny face? If I could frown, I would be frowning right now, while I write this rant, right!

Now the photos:

Before - deep lines, especially when I pull this face.

Two days after Botox - Still have slight frown lines.

Two weeks later - I am trying really hard to frown.

I am loving the results and I can see why people get addicted. Will I get it again?? Hopefully, yes. I think I need to find a Botox sponsor for Redcliffe Style.
