Botox and fillers

Well I've always wanted to know if there is any evidence that botox is preventative. I am aware that it wears off in 3 months average and you need to get it done again,so what's the point? Aka does it really prevent wrinkles

Are either of them permanent when it comes to lips and is there damage caused by the fillers if they get removed? I would like to know the exact process from beginning to end just out of curiosity and side effects :)

• difference between Botox and Dysport
• different types of fillers and how much each costs vs how long they last
• before and after shots (I volunteer as tribute lol)

I know that fillers aren't permanent and won't do anything to the face long term, so how does that work? It wares off right?

• What is the average age you see people coming in to get botox? i’m 23 and feel like i’d already like some things “tightened”

• is it true that getting botox in your sweat glands can stop you from sweating? is this true? or should only be done if medically needed?

• how long do lip fillers take to wear off?

Known long term side effects is what I am curious about

Would fillers give more wrinkles in long term because of the all the added volume?

I want to know how to separate the medically trained and those bogus beauticians with a needle.

Substances used for fillers, everything that goes in the formula. As the stuff gets re-assimilated into the body, it is important to know what we are assimilating.

Does the skin stretch with time when fillers , let's say in lips, are worn for period of time, so they have to be injected indefinitely (does skin stretching cause stretch marks around lips)

Botox or Dysport. Which one is better in the long term. What is Dysport? What kind of formula?

As Duality put it: if you need a guinea piggy ...hello (ᵔᴥᵔ)

I have heard somewhere that you can get some fillers injected through tear duct to help with dark circles and sunken eyes. Is that true? If so want to know what the procedures are ?

I’ve read there are products you can use or things you can do to increase longevity of botox and also things such as excessive exercise which can decrease the longevity of Botox. Is this true? I read an article where an actress had ‘Botox sprinkles’ (smaller amounts of Botox injected for a subtle effect). Is this a thing?

I want to know why the cost hasn't come down. I have had to put mine on hold because it cost me $350 per session.

My question would be what kind of ongoing testing and audits are in place within the industry to ensure providers are looking after patient safety - not just now but in the long term as well. Remember how we thought solariums were totally safe and then we found out they weren't? Same with breast implants and other cosmetic procedures.

I understand that nothing in life is guaranteed and sometimes we can only go on the best information we have at the time, but as consumers it would be reassuring to know that thorough research and testing is rigorous and ongoing as safety should always be the first priority.

Can you have it done in your forehead but still be able to move your eyebrows?

Some people that have it done are all smooth but they have really deep wrinkles close to the eye and underneath so obviously they can't inject too close to the eye. Does being paralysed everywhere else create extra stress on other areas that they can't inject?

I still would give it a go, lol.

Look forward to reading!! Yet to try Botox and fillers and always say never say never but this is something I’d like to be well informed about!!

I wonder if years down the track there will be research and find that this all has devastating affects we didn’t know about! Too scared to try
