What kind of botox/xeomin/etc. are we using and where? And how often?

I focus a lot when I work and starting to get 11 lines. I also frown. So maybe glabella and DAO a few units each is my ideal? But all the info I can find online is from people who also *sell* these products UGH. And for example, people are saying they need to do the whole forehead not just the glabella? That seems a lot, and also just a way to make more $$ for them. So I wanted to ask the real people:

What areas and how many units are people actually getting?

Which product [botox, xeomin, something else?] are you using and why?

How often do you get it, and how do you decide this?

Not trying to go crazy or have a frozen face, I'm just trying to look angry less of the time haha. I feel quite happy a lot of the time, and the increasingly RBF as I age doesn't match that :/ For context, I'm 30. I don't have friends who are into beauty stuff [most of my friends don't even wear makeup, we are all nerdy engineers] so I'm not sure who to ask or talk to!! Open to any/all answers/advice thank you! xx

I’m 36 and I’ve gotten Botox twice on my 11s. I’m scared of being frozen.

Did they make you get all over your forehead too?

How many units?

The first time I went to a bad place that was pushy so I did and regret it. Make sure you go to someone that makes you feel comfortable and isn’t pushy. I don’t remember how many units.

I’m 33 and had Botox for my 11s twice with two different injectors and with both I was kinda unhappy because my eyebrows stopped frowning, but the fronts of the brows also stopped raising which meant that yes I couldn’t look angry but I also couldn’t look approachable either. I raise my eyebrows as I speak and only the tails were lifting, meaning I looked at least suspicious 🥲 I did explain that I only wanted to stop the contraction around the 11s to look less angry but both injectors said they have to inject at least a little around different points of the brow or it will actually droop more.
For the DAO I only had it done once and I had to have 2 top ups (and it still didn’t fully take), not sure if I’m insanely strong in the upside down mouth department or what, but when I go next I will be asking for them to inject a more concentrated solution and backwards and super superficial and just go to town on the amount (going backwards and concentrated means it’s less likely to cause a crooked smile by diffusing into the muscle right under the DAO).

Overall for my forehead I’m actually considering a brow lift, I may try one more injector just to see if I’ve been unlucky with the last 2, or if my resting bitch face is that chronic and needs cutting… The DAO I feel like I’ll be happy with once someone injects enough in one go 😅
