The best places to get Botox – leave your negative comments at the door

I’m petrified of needles but I do know a few ladies that have had botox. I don’t know if I would or not.

My Mum has it at a neurologist for medical reasons for a neck disorder, she says she needs to have some in her face too!

It has helped her medical condition though, I know others who have had it for severe sweating and they say it has helped so so it looks like it is helpful for medical conditions as well as for cosmetic purposes.

I think I would be a bit scared to have it done, plus it’s something you need to keep having done to maintain results.

I have done it twice and was very happy with the results. My situation has now changed and it’s not in the budget.
My first consultation was with a GP who owned the business. Then I had a Nurse injecting the botox. She said this was her 2nd job and also worked in the Mater Hospital in Townsville in the Neurology Dept.
Apparently in QLD you have to have either a Medical or Science Degree(not sure what type) to be able to provide botox injections.
I’d certainly recommend botox. You will need to discuss with the injector what look you want. I went for a natural look which just refreshes your look (e.g. crows feet; marionette lines). I wouldn’t go for a full on all over look where you can’t move your facial muscles.

I’m still to try it but curious, would love to read everyone’s suggestions because the fear of the wonky brow is so real and I had a close encounter before.

I went for a consult to this place on Eastbourne St in Windsor. I can’t remember the name of the place but I do remember I found it as an offer (each injection for 9$ or something), the place was nice, the person who saw me was lovely BUT, they were so eager to get it done, like “oh I have some time right now, you wanna do it now?” put me off completely, like, rushing your decision at a first consult was a real bad red flag for me. I did not do it and that’s as far as my curiosity has gotten me.

There are so many places that do it now, you would get a variety of prices if you rang around. Beauticians , special clinics who seem to only specialise in injectables , a doctor at my local medical centre does it.

I also don’t have the cash to spare and my husband and kids are very much against the idea.

Too funny, I was just discussing botox with an old school friend yesterday and we were seriously thinking about giving it a go. The thing holding me back was getting a bad job and having wonky eyebrows for three months!

ps: would put my hand up for a trial 🙂
