Does anyone who really cares about appearance NOT use Botox?

The fact that half of these responses talk about how botox changes the shape of someone's face tells you all you need to know about most of the naysayers here.

I don't see anyone saying it changes the shape of the face.

I see people talking about how it changes how your face moves and what you look like when you smile, laugh, or talk, and that's obviously true. Not saying it's good or bad, it's just clearly true. You see it on actors and politicians too, you can tell when their Botox is fresh because of how it impacts how their face moves (or doesn't, or which parts move while other parts are totally still).

Medspa 'injector' botox - yea, for sure, these people have no idea what they are doing, and overtreat since their only offering is usually a microneedling pen and botox

Good cosmetic derm botox - naw, these are who the people who you don't think get anything go to.

Laser hair removal in my 20s when it first came out. Still hair free! Back then the laser tip was the size of a pencil eraser and the guy I used was the size of a lumberjack and he iced after every zap! Gentle giant. Took forever but I was committed.

I think this is mostly genetic. Everyone has veins, but the thinner/lower body fat you are the more likely they are to show. It makes sense to me that you'd see them on dwts as they are quite fit.

I’m thin and fit and old by comparison but no vein bulges (no Botox). I remember in another thread that forehead Botox can cause a singular vein on left or right side. It’s big and bulging. Scroll down for multiple pics.

I have the forhead vein and no Botox.

Funnily enough I had decided to stop botox (I was doing it twice a year) and then I went to the dentist for a grinding issue and their solution was botox (to relax the muscles causing the grinding). So I continue to botox but for an actual medical reason these days.

I think it's a waste of money but I am South Asian and have taken great care of my skin. I drink a lot of water and moisturize with oils.

Inject your shit and keep being so obviously unbothered, right.

Trust me, it’s obvious regardless who does it and how little. Botox freezes the muscle. It’s obvious if you make any facial expression that the muscles aren’t moving naturally.

I don't care about wrinkles. I love my crow's feet and don't mind forehead lines. I do hate how uneven my eyebrows are due to one being particularly lazy when called up for animated facial expressions. With baby Botox, they behave in tandem.

You just keep telling yourself that - you can't tell when an actual professional does it.

I do Botox in my underarms. Year five .. No sweat or need for deodorant. The best.

Added plus .. Insurance fully covers

I also thought I wouldn’t care about wrinkles until my 11’s started to show and I looked perpetually exhausted and angry.

When that happens, I'll expand to fixing the 11s. My wrinkle pattern is different, but I'm sure that's coming. To your point, it's not so much about looking younger, it's for symmetry. Looking angry would also be a great reason for Botox - it's annoying have people think you are angry or tired all the time when you are just made that way.

You can. Name any “big” DC Botox doc or practice and I’ll describe the signature look they end up giving people. They’ve all got a style - wanna start with Dr. Sherber? SkinDC?
