It's a week now since I had my second ever Botox treatment. I was using up a Groupon that I bought for 20 units at DLK and also bought another 5 units. The initial treatment from Dr Torgerson was 25 units and I ended up getting another 10 a few weeks later because I felt like I was still frowning a bit.
This seems to have worked more completely. I felt that Diana at DLK injected a little more laterally and really tried to see how I frowned. I pretty much can't do it now which I hope means the lines will be even softer....and it was with fewer units than the last time!
So, this was just over a week ago-the day of the injection when initial treatment was wearing off:
This is today:
Frowning-
And at rest-
This treatment has gained popularity due to its non-invasive nature and minimal downtime.
ReplyDeleteUsually your first injection of Botox will require the most units- if you keep it up from there, you will require less in subsequent visits. Botox is about the upkeep. This is why you had the most at Dr. Torgerson's and were able to do less at DLK. The only exception is if you wait until the Botox has been completely metabolized by your body (ie: 6 months or longer) and have to start from scratch again.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get the results that you want! So far, everything seems to be pretty good. Really, the before pics are not so bad, so the end result would be nice. You could tell the difference between the before and after frown pics.
