    I'm new to posting here, so maybe this has been done to death, but anyhoo

    I got the botox done and its fab.

    I didn't get it to look younger (only 34) I got it cos I have two bad habits:

    A habit of raising my eyebrows up every time I talk, I thought it looked ridiculous.

    Permanent frowning. I've really bad eyesight (cant be fixed by glasses or surgery) so I have to squint to see anything close up. I also am forever deep in thought, and have a tendency to frown when I do this.

    These two habits had given me a really wrinkly brow area. Since the botox it is now as smooth as a baby's, and this was only a week ago.

    I can still move the area, it is not 'frozen', it just takes more effort.

    For ages I was 'will I, wont I' but I am glad I did it. If you are thinking of getting it done, I would recommend it.

    I got it done in the laser and skincare clinic in Mullingar. It cost me €295, the price depends on how many areas you get done. I got one area, two areas cost (I think) €430 and 3 areas is €595.

    The doctor that gave me the injections was very good, he left no marks at all.

    How long should it last before you need a top up?

    I got this done on my frown lines about 2 years ago (I was 30!) Lasted about 4/5 months and i was kinda wrinkle free for the following year...HOWEVER, I just looked plain weird when I smiled in photos. Glad I experienced it but wouldnt do it again.

    The doc said it should last anything from 3-6 months

    I'm very tempted to get it done on my crows feet, but I'm worried about starting it so young (i'm only 30). Don't think i'd ever get it done on my brow, would be scared of getting the 'Bree from Desperate Houswives' look!

    I'm not a fan of it myself tbh, I think it can give some people a strange waxwork look. Hopefully I won't get too wrinkly in the forehead area, my brow doesn't really furrow when I frown. I reckon I'll have crows' feet though, my eyes crease when I smile :)
