Re: Any Botox users? Advice please!

On another note, I have had lower back pain for about 10 years and have had lots of treatments and meds and nothing ever gave relief. Last trip to my pain management doc and he have me some Botox shots in my lower back, Boom, haven't felt any pain since getting it a month ago and it's supposed to last about 8 weeks. I know off topic but wanted to rave.

Wow -- that's great! I know about back pain (had surgery) and people just don't understand how debilitating it can be. How cool this worked for you!

I've heard it helps migraines, too. The advertisement makes a distinction between that botox and cosmetic botox.

Yes it's a different kind because I was teasing the dr saying could he put the rest in my 11s and he said there are actually several different kinds of Botox.

If you use Botox on your upper lip, you will lose feeling........like having Novocain........and it might be difficult to drink

I've been getting Botox for almost 10 years. I turned 62 last month. In May, I treated myself to Botox and Restylane. I don't remember the exact amount for each. But I am VERY happy with the results. Botox usually lasts me about eight months. I had Botox on my forehead and 11 lines. He also put Restylane in the 11 lines. I had some Restylane under my eyes since I have bags from allergies. The results are awesome. I am saving up for a "touchup" in December. I've tried every cream you can think of. Creams don't work!! I didn't have really BAD lines and wrinkles. By the way, everything looks natural. My forehead moves etc. not like some people who don't show any expressions. I would recommend it. Restylane works well with lines above the lips. I don't have lines above the lips or eyes. People still think I'm in my 40's but my mother who is 82 has NO lines at all. Go figure.

Does it also work for the neck?

I ask because so many women get it and/or fillers-lasers-etc. for their face, but some of their necks can make them look their chronological age or older.

Nice that it works for you. 8)
