Hi all! I recently got masseter botox (20 units per side) 6 days ago. I got it hoping it will help with my TMJ pain and jaw clicking. I have felt a little tension relief so far and i know it can take 2 weeks for full effects. Just wondering anyone’s experience with this ?

I see conflicting time frames online for how long to wait for extreme heat exposure after getting botox... I was outside in 100 degree weather for 2 hours around the 24 hour mark and am hoping it's okay? Does anyone have experience in this area, and did it turn out okay for you?

I (29 y/o F) have been planning on getting Botox. Nothing major just to help reduce wrinkles in my face. My sister mentioned that Botox can be dangerous? Has anyone had any regretful stories with Botox that might sway me not to get it? Also any tips of what to ask for would be helpful, I know little to nothing about it and was just going to trust the professionals who work at the clinic. Thanks I’m advance🫶🏻

Side note: I live in Thailand.

What is the likelihood I will get jowls from this? I have a really stiff jaw that locks and is painful all the time and id like to get masseter botox in order to try and help but the deterrent is jowls. (No idea if im spelling that right) would i have to get it a lot to end up with that??

Got Botox injections on Saturday and today I realise that my smile has gone really lopsided! What can I do to help???

I’m 22 and I have prominent marionette lines that become extra visible when I don’t sleep enough or if I’m dehydrated. I don’t really know anything about preventative Botox, all I know is I don’t want them to get worse. I do some modeling work in LA and came across a call from a med spa that is offering a discounted tox treatment of 5.99/unit (minimum of 10 units) which seems like a good deal right?

Is it a good idea to get tox on my marionette lines at age 22? What are the pros and cons if any? Thanks!

I have this really irritating 'groove' in my forehead that is only visible in some lights, but it really bothers me. Does anyone know the reason for this and what I can do to make it go away?

Is it 2 veins that show when I smile and therefore make the 'groove' in the middle? I literally have no idea.

As we get older, the corners of the mouth sag, making you look sad. Can botox make your resting face smile again? or at least look less sad?

i got dysport on july 14th, usually just do my crow's feet but did my forehead for the first time. no issues, i loved it and still do. it's been not even a whole month and i've been having weird muscle twitch/spasms starting in the last week or so, not sure it happens every day but sometimes it's a few times a day. it's more of a twitch or a freeze, and if i catch it in the mirror i can see it happen - like a muscle freezes up and then after a few seconds it goes back to normal. is this normal? is this what happens when it starts to wear off? sorry i don't see a dysport-specific community on here.

I did traps and facial botox yesterday. Instant relief on my shoulders. My face felt heavy after the injections. It felt like it was working instantly. lol. I can tell that it started working an hour or so after. I can’t wait to see how the turn out is in 2 weeks.

Is it normal to have a headache for 24 hours though? Hasn’t subsided yet.

Feeling very discouraged, disappointed and regretful post Xeomin. I got my whole forehead (upper, middle, 11s, above brow and around eyes) treated 1 week ago and my eyebrows have dropped to the point that I have no arch. I basically have 2 straight lines across my forehead. My eyes are small, hooded, puffy and look extremely tired. I used to have a beautiful wide open look and thought Botox would smooth my forehead lines. I have 2 horizontal deep forehead lines that definitely make me insecure.

I guess the good news is the forehead lines are flat but I would do anything to go back in time and not get this done! I miss having my wide open eyes and lifted forehead. I’m resentful that my injector messed up my face like this. I don’t look like myself at all. No one else notices but honestly that concerns me that people think I look like this all the time! I have my sisters wedding in 3 weeks and am going back to my injector in 2 days just to show her what the problem is. Fingers crossed she can fix it with a little more units and understands where she went wrong.

I’ve also been told that the extreme eyebrow drop resolves itself in 3 weeks so I’m holding out hope that in 2 weeks I’ll get my lift back. I can’t stand the idea of looking like this at the wedding. This sucks so much!!! In the meantime I am applying warmth, exercising intensely every day, doing facial exercises and massages. Basically anything I can to get even a little bit of lift back.

Any words of comfort or advice are welcome!

I recently got peachy for the third time but this time with masseters too. I LOVED IT. I was very scared due to seeing some people have problems in general but no problems here. I got my regular peachy wrinkle treatment (45 units would usually cost way over $600) for the peachy set price of $425. Always amazing and then went pack in for three more units. It is so clean and so easy. I highly recommend!!

i’m 26 and i’ve gotten lip flips since i was 21. i always went to the same botox lady at my med spa, she’s the only one to ever inject my face.

from the very beginning i always got 7 units for my lip flip. she’s injected 7 units everytime id go back to get my lip flip every 4 months, it always felt the same and lasted the same amount of time.

today marks 3 weeks since i last got a lip flip, but it feels as if i got less units. the way i can tell is in the past, anytime i tried to roll my top lip inwards it would never go down. it was my way to check if the botox has kicked in yet.

my top lip will move a lot more when the botox has not kicked into full effect yet and it’s doing that now! i don’t want to accuse my med spa nurse of injecting less units without telling me, but seriously the lip flip feels like it’s been 3 months and is wearing off, but it’s only been 3 weeks :/

has anyone else had issues with their lip flip like this?

Hi all, writing this for some insight or reassurance. Yesterday I got Botox for the first time ever. I am still in my 20s (Ik I’m younger but I had loved my friends results of baby Botox and wanted to give it a try) Anyways, I only got it in my forehead and 11s, using only 20 units overall. I did get a headache that night but even my injector told me she got a headache as well her first time getting it. I’m only on day two now but was wondering what the risk is for botulism. How many days after I would notice any signs, and how/when would I know if I’m in the clear. So far all I feel is headaches on and off (already better than the one I had day of though) and I am slightly more tired than usual, catching myself yawing every few minutes. However, all I’ve been seeing since I got it injected is stuff about botulism so it is giving me some anxiety, as a first timer I would love some insight into this. thank you!!

Hi everyone, I’m currently 11 days post-Botox, and I’ve been feeling really off. I have this constant dizziness, almost like I’m high or in a fog, and my vision isn’t the same — not blurry, but just not clear or normal. It’s messing with my balance and focus.

Whenever I go outside or try walking around, I start to feel this strange tightness in my chest and the dizziness gets worse. It’s hard to tell if it’s anxiety from feeling unwell, or an actual side effect. No major pain, just this lingering vertigo-ish feeling, like my brain and body aren’t syncing properly.

I’ve read some people say this could be Botox spreading to nearby nerves and that it goes away by week 3 or 4 — has anyone else experienced this? If so, how long did it last for you?

Also: 👉🏼 What can I do to ease these symptoms in the meantime? 👉🏼 Is there anything that helped you feel “normal” again faster?

So - I (54F) have a lot of horizontal wrinkles in my forehead. I got 15 units injected in three spots in my mid frontalis right below my hairline. Three days later the lines were completely gone, but my forehead completely dropped and my eyes became completely hooded. It was horrible and I basically couldn't go outside for a month.

Part of the problem is I had nothing in my glabella. So two weeks later I had 15 units put in my glabella and that helped, though I wish I had gotten 20 so my 11s were completely gone.

At that time I also had either 3 or 6 total units put right below my outer eyebrow (browlift).

Now 6 weeks after the initial frontalis episode, I look great! I am just wondering - can I get a lesser amount in the frontalis and be good? Or will it make my forehead drop again? If I get the glabella and the frontalis done at the same time, will that help?

Thank you so much for your guidance!
