It gets weird when it messes with the brows where they look unnaturally arched… ALL THE TIME. Not good. Not only do you need a good injector but you need to clearly vocalize exactly what result you want. I said I want my forehead lines “softened” not completely gone. I’m 55. I should have some lines. I also said I want my brows to remain in their natural position. All of that was accomplished. Always be conservative. 🥂

Dr. Locke - I had never done any kind of treatments. Then my daughter was getting married, & I decided to try a new cheek filler my doctor told me about. I wanted to look my best for the wedding. Sure enough - just my luck, the nurse hit a vein & caused a small hematoma on my right cheek! Thank God, it was a six weeks before & my cheek healed by the wedding. But to this day, I can see a small ‘divit’ on my cheek leftover from the hematoma!😱 NEVER again.

As a woman with moderate-severe hearing loss, I heavily depend on facial expressions and lip reading to understand what people are saying. It would be such a struggle to communicate with a Botox/frozen faced-person! That’s why I love how expressive you are, Dr. Maren! Don’t ever change that! ❤

@objectivityisourfriend9631 11 ай бұрын

I am so discouraged by how popular this is - these frozen faces everywhere. It turns out your facial expressions literally transit the emotions to your brain - it's this feedback loop. So when you get Botox, even a little, you experience less empathy, less joy, less amazement, less anger, less depression, less frustration. Some docs have been giving it for frown lines to treat depression. OK, fine. But I'd rather experience joy, delight, laughter, sorrow, compassion to the fullest whilst I'm here - it's the whole point of being human.

My brother gets Botox to treat MS. His neurologist said that they were the first to use it, not dermatologists. I would never get it myself. In my humble opinion, people have developed a pathological fear of aging, and there is nothing on this earth that will stop you from getting older. That aside, it's very disturbing to be talking to someone whose face doesn't move.

yeah you see it in a bit of a drastic way lol ok you cant stop aging but you can drastically slow it down... how? eating antioxidants exercising is a huge factor and having a clean diet together with eating less sugar then moisturizing your skin, using the right skincare, retinol ect and sure botox. So yeah you can chose the way you want to age and look decades younger. I chose this way. Its everybodys choice how they want to age and I don't knock down one way or another. We all have our own picture on how we want to treat our mind, body and beauty but I think its just esthetically nicer to have less wrinkles but that's just me and I'm a girl/woman so yeah I think thats natural lol but each to each own. Some people scratch off botox but want later on a facelift which you may get around with if you do use botox or similar...besides you said its scary if you talk to someone and their face wont move well yeah you can get injections that do look natural its just about picking the right surgeon

As a licensed master esthetician, who has never done Botox or filler (I'll be 51 in Nov), I loved seeing this video. I never discourage or bash the treatment to clients, but I do try to educate them on the good, the bad, and the potential ugly of botox and filler. Most clients do it, some look great, others not so much. I feel as if I'm the only one who thinks about what the effects will be 20, 30 years down the road, especially for those who start in their early 20's. The thought of muscle atrophy is the fear that keeps me injection free. Will it take face freezing amounts to one day hold ones face up? What happens if you for whatever reason can no longer get it bc of illness, finances, tolerance? Some say the face wouldn't fall, that it would settle into what it looked like before botox, but I don't see how that's possible. Maybe in 5 or 10 years I'll feel differently, I do occasionally think hmm, should I, but something always stops me. So for now, I'll continue my retinoids, IPL, microdermabrasion, peels, microneedling and sunscreen. Thanks for the video, would love to see one on microneedling and ipl/bbl (broad band light, not Brazilian butt lift lol).

@Ssookawai Жыл бұрын

I'm 34 years old and I've had weak facial muscles since... my late teens early twenties (lot of stress, issues, depression). Filler did help but even my dermatologist who's very conservative, was like: look there's a quite severe atrophy for your cheeks so... let's make the hyaluronic acid (I had 4, 2 in each box of juvederm) set and if you need better results or you're not satisfied, come back after a month, we'll add a bit more. And she was right, it helped slightly (my weight loss a few years ago made things worse for my face). So I might even consider a facelift later (only once, I'll let myself get old lol). Sometimes it's not always to look like an IG model, some cases can require such interventions (like mine).

Age 67 with pretty good skin. Never had anything done to my face until mid July this year. Had 20 units of Botox injected into 11s during a routine derm visit for skin check. Had blurred vision, headache, left sided brow drop and dry eyes for 10 days afterwards. I was so worried that I went to see an ophthalmologist to make sure my eyes were ok. Then, after all that, the Botox wore off within 4 weeks or so. Paid $300 for that injection. I doubt that I would ever do that again.

Most of us over 50 will understand what it means to experience wrinkles, skin sagging and Jowls. Creams, sunblock & serums do their fair share of good by maintaining skin quality. Sadly after a certain age, for any real change it’s either the needle or the knife. I am all for doing things in moderation. And if only I could stick to this myself .. but In truth leading a healthy lifestyle, quitting sugar for good, keeping fit and body toned no matter what our age is what the focus should be. I think we might be a lot happier within ourselves if we did?

I started getting Botox at age 56. ( about twice a year) It has been such a blessing! I pay 200.00 for my elevens and forehead. You could try it once and see what you think. I have never wanted other procedures. We all do something for ourselves. Some get manicures and pedicures. Some color or perm their hair. I don’t do those things. I don’t even wear make-up! Cheers everyone ❤️

I was very anti-botox before, and I still am skeptical to more pressure to conceal aging instead of embracing it. But I hated how my not elevens, but my one singel wrinkle between the eyes made me look angry, so I tried botox. I loved it. It also helped my headaches( not expected) I was 35 first time, and it worked great on me, stayed for a long time, and I tried it again a year and 1/2 later. I see now how much more droopy my eyelids have become, the pictures from before to after it is quite apparent. My mother had droopy eyelid surgery because of vision complications, and it is genetically a problem in my family and I am not willing to increase that problem with botox. Very glad for this advice. I do not regret it, but I will not do it again.

So glad I found you! You sound genuinely honest and not judgmental about someone wanting to use Botox. You’re just giving the information and educating us on both the pros and cons. I was told if you already have forehead lines or wrinkles you cannot use Botox. I was really interested in using it just to see how and what it could do for me. But apparently I was told it is to prevent lines and wrinkles . I thought it was used on people that already have lines and wrinkles and this will make those lines look smoother by paralyzing the muscles underneath. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m confused. Any way I would like to know if you can show us videos on other alternatives (fillers) or any other procedures that can be done to prolong having to get a face lift. Thank you!

@2tall4u_ Жыл бұрын

Girl don’t listen to uneducated people. You can get Botox even if you have wrinkles. It is exactly what you said it’s used for: ‘to smooth out the existing wrinkles’. I have been getting Botox on and off since I was 25. I am now 39.

@smartager6732 Жыл бұрын

Hello, in my experience it is not only useful for prevention of wrinkles, but it also smooths those already present on forehead, etc. Btw, I never had side effects. And something she doesn't mention is that the effect is cumulative, i.e. after several treatments the effect of each treatment lasts longuer, up to 7-8 months, if not more. And if on top of this you use LED red and near infrared light (panel or mask) every day, the effect is even more prolonged. This is my experience; doesn't mean it will be the exact same for everybody, but take this as a reference.😊

You can definitely diminish existing lines with Botox. it may take more treatments to get rid of them all the way or 90% of the way- but with continued use with an experienced injector it will definitely diminish your lines. Add a prescription retin a or tazorac (increases cell turnover) + daily sunscreen and your lines will diminish even faster.

I wish i could like this video x 100 times! More people need to be having this conversation and the risks need to be spread to everyone. Even more important than the risks is the toxic effect fillers and botox are having on our minds. Women are feeling social pressures to get it and look a certain way. It's unnatural for us not to age and we need to start embracing our wrinkles and sagging and loving ourselves for what we are. Aging is a gift that not everyone has the luxury of receiving...humans would do well to remember that. 💕

I want it done but not for anti ageing but because I gave very heavy brows and have done since forever. I just would like to look less hideous when I see myself. I don't think it would help complete but I can't afford anything else and I have seen that it does help lift the brows a little bit. Life is full of risks and it's up to each of us to decide what we do. If it makes me feel even 5% less ugly then I don't see that as a bad thing.

I'd love to see a video for fillers. Those in my opinion are definitely more problematic and apparently addictive, with the most visible changes. I see young girls using them and forgetting what they initially looked like. I'm 45 and I wasn't completely immune to the allure in my mid 30's. But I only tried once and hated the effect (gladly now disappeared). Regarding botox, I found my balance and I'm happy with it. I only do it max twice per year or less, usually every 8 months. And only on my crows feet. The forehead is still OK because I use, tretinoin (prescribed for acne at age 29) and tca peels that take care of my skin elasticity so I don't have wrinkles on the forehead. I don't like getting botox so I ask for the minimal quantity to just weaken a little bit the muscle, not completely freeze it. This way I spend less, I prevent the wrinkles in my eye area but I keep my expression almost intact (I mean the expression is actually the same as when I was younger, nothing really have changed). I do believe cosmetic procedures if done properly and not overdone or getting obsessed over, are OK. Especially botox. I travel a lot in under developed countries and some years I couldn't get botox, no biggie. I was always careful with my sunscreen and it wasn't the end of the world. Moderation is key! Cheers

I just want my face to look healthy. My weight is on target with my height. I do look a lot healthier. I don't care what others think about cosmetic procedure.
