You might as well prevent as many wrinkles as possible too! It will save you money in the long run if you don't develop any wrinkles in the first place

I ring up my doctor as soon as movement comes back to book my appointment somewhere in the next 4 weeks so I'm not scrambling around trying to get in just before full movement returns! (never again!)

I'd say I probably let 30-40% of movement return.

Botox is pretty pricey.

Until I get that raise only before big events!

Hi Mr Gym,

Do you find only getting botox once or twice a year (before big events) means your botox isn't quite as good. I ask this because my doctor got better and better at achieving the exact look I wanted as he got to know me.

Its a bit of a two way thing too. My needs for botox changed as I saw exactly what they could do with botox.

You'll find botox veterens like it before any movement returns.

Its better for prevention and I think it saves you money in the long term

I'm with the majority.

Prevention is far better than cure

Surely cost is an issue for regular botox treatments. And I'm worried about developing antibodies to botox if I get it too often.

I only get botox just ebfore I need it.
