Hii all

I'm Christine. I'm here with you to seek any personal experience regarding the Botox injection to remove

wrinkles(medvspa.com/en/services/inj... in the forehead. My friend had constant muscle tension over her forehead. I think Botox will help her, but her parents don't support her. So to confess to her parents, we have recently visited our family doctor. She neatly explained the pros and cons of this treatment. But there is still a bit of confusion. if anyone knows anything about this, pros and con, I'd appreciate any info that might help us decide if this treatment is worth seeking out

Thanks!

Dear Christina73,

Personally I would AVOID 'Botox', unless it is Medically recommended. Botox 'Works' because it is POISON, it is the what Botulinus Bacteria make and it is 'Deadly'. Can I ask you... Without any Medical Guidance, would you let Someone inject you, with say Strychnine? Maybe 'something' from a 'Poison Dart Frog', perhaps Snake Venom? How about some Deadly Night Shade? ALL of these 'things', when refined, make Medicines- for use by DOCTORS. Maybe I have 'Frightened' you, a bit Christina, for which I make NO apology!

Sorry Christina73, but please do, Stay Away- unless your Medical Team recommend it.

I would look for other possible solutions first, I would not scaremonger as AndrewT has done, but look at reliable sites including NHSInform, British Skin Foundation and so on. I also saw a really interesting piece a number of years ago on Loose Women about using massage to lessen the appearance of wrinkles, which would be a great self-help technique and so much less invasive than Botox!

I was always skeptical about Botox, but in fact, if these are proven products like coolcarelab.com/ in the hands of professionals, this can help prevent creases or wrinkles, but of course everything should be in moderation, anything will be harmful if you overdo it
