Yes, I get Botox every 6 months and Restalyne about once a year. I will never be with out.
The key is to go lightly with the Botox. I have it injected around my eyes and above my brows. I still have forehead movement and can lift my brows (but I can't scowl) and no one has ever looked twice. I look refreshed. If you start Botox you will make a large financial comment the first year. You will need injections every about every 3-4 months to get the muscles to relax and then the second year about every 6 months. The Botox will help the filler last longer if you use them in the same area. I've had all my injections in California. Look for a board certified plastic surgeon or eye surgeon to do the work. There is one in Waldorf and a group in PF. If done right, once you try it you will never want to be without. Good Luck

I've had botox and had it done by 4 different people 2 dermatologist and 2 plastic surgeon's.
I can tell you who does it makes a world of difference! The problem is if you don't know how it works you have no idea if your doctor is any good or not! After 4 doctors I finally know how good it can work when you get a fresh batch and they put the right amount in in the right location! A plastic surgeon in Annapolis did it to me the first time.... HE SUCKED. the stuff took 4 weeks to work and wore of supper quick. A year later I tried again & went to a derm. hers worked better took two weeks to start working so she was ok.
the second derm was the same as the first... ok.
this last time I went to a plastic surgeon in Richmond because I know him to be extremely good at what he does. His kicked in, in one week more like 5 days and I hadn't had it in over a year so there was no reason for it to start working so fast. it also lasted for ever, not 12 weeks more like 18 weeks.
I will drive to Richmond from now on because it last so much longer when he does it and that it saves me money. It's expencive.
I can say you will love the results if you have the money it is well worth it.
