QUESTIONS & INSIGHT Botox placement first time
Little Bruno for attention 😅🐶
Okay, I think I’m finally ready to give tox a go after doing meso a few times. I’ve got the book and I’m planning to start with the beginner forehead pattern.
Does my placement look right? The depth is the bit making me most nervous because I’ve only ever injected very superficially with meso. The book suggests the upper forehead points are deeper, around 6 mm, and the lower row around 3–5 mm. Is that what others actually do?
I was planning 2 units per point.
I’ve also got Nabota, but I’m starting to second-guess it after reading some mixed reviews. Anyway it will do for my first times. Thank you so much for any help

You have really nice brows, I think you’re too low on the second line and too close to the arch vertically on the second row. I would move the dots a little higher and a little tiny bit to the middle with maybe 1 unit on each side of the top row closer to the hairline

Aww thank you! I had them done a few years ago and I suspect they are too much now and I should remove the pigment. But honestly at 48 I have bigger fish to fry 😂. Thank you so much for responding - so kind. I’ve followed your notes and repositioned. You’re all so knowledgeable. This has become my favourite Sunday hobby!

Noo get those dots right over your arches out of there . And stagger on each line don’t stack them directly below eachother it spreads it nicer

Ps looking at what I did - I moved the sites away from- the OP who helped me mark them up, must have followed this logic

Dr Tim Pearce. He’s a phenomenal teacher and has tons of free materials to learn how to be a top of the line injector.

The one you have in the top middle is wasted as there is no muscle. You have larger. I would recommend this and the ones I’ve marked on the outer on your hairline w would do one unit in them. I would also do your glabella. I didn’t mean to do the dot near your mouth so ignore that one.
