I’m an expressive person and feel like I’m getting wrinkles on my forehead prematurely. Does anyone have any advice or experience to share?
I’m in my late 30s and had a few sessions of baby botox over the past few years. I absolutely love how it dulled the fine lines in my forehead and even though it technically is metabolized after 3-4 months, I feel like my lines are still more smoothed out than previously.
The only thing is that when the botox was fresh, it’s almost like there was extra resistance when I raised my eyebrows… so once it first started to wear off, I was raising them even more but became cognizant enough to mentally stop doing that so much.
Haven’t had any treatments for over 18 months and along with retinol every few days and hydrating with aquaphor and scar patches in between, I’m super happy with my natural look.
Scholarly articles have shown that when treating frown lines, people reported having a better overall mood (link here); conversely, consider the facial feedback hypothesis (link here)
I don’t know much about botox but I got fillers in my laugh lines before and was pleased with the results. Lasted for about 6 months I think.
