there's still something about needles that really freaks me out. i do have wrinkle problems but ive been using more natural products to help me remove the wrinkles on my forehead and aroud my eyes. lately i've been using a product called Frownies, which is all natural, i can wear it at night and whats best no needles.
Now why would anyone in their right mind pay to have a deadly poison injected into their bodies?
"Botulinum toxin is a medication and a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, and is known to be very toxic[1][2] with an LD50 of roughly 0.005–0.05 µg/kg. Despite its deadly toxic effect, it is sometimes used in very small doses to treat muscle spasms.[3] Popularly known by its trade name, Botox, botulinum toxin is now commonly used in various settings for cosmetic procedures."
Botox effects last for 3 months but, not in the same results as when it peaked at 3 weeks. Another words, Botox effectiveness is represented in a bell shaped curved. The lowest point at the day of injection the top of the bell is 3weeks and the 2nd lowest time around 3 months. Results do not stay peaked for the entire 3 months. Your body produced antibodies to remove item: thus lasting only 3 months. People complaining about not seeing result after 4 weeks are seeing the beginning effects for the botox leaving your body.
Red chili: Yes, I remember approving it when I worked for a insurance company for the use injected it into children muscles with CP to stop their spasms in the legs so they could wear their leg braces more effectively. Most likely, it got it cosmetic use from those with a disabling facial tick (Blepharospasms). Of course , most people know it is used for bladder spasms, migraines and back and neck pain caused by spasms. I also recall approving it for hyperhydrosis of hands on a officer who's hands got very sweaty and an electrician who had the same problem when he worked wiring.
My sister has the same problem. Botox would last for very short time. She started with Dysport, she said it's better option for her, and definitely longer one.
Personally, I don't know, I never had it. But she tried pretty much anything on her face, and she doesn't use Botox for quite some time already, she prefers Dysport.

Same reason people have "cosmetic" surgery.
Plastic surgery has a long and honorable history. It is completely valid for correcting physical problems and deformities (think for example, of the soldiers maimed in WWI). As soon as people figured out it could also be used to make normal people look more like their own image of what they wanted to look like (said images generally promulgated by commercial entities for the purpose of making money), there was an explosion of cosmetic surgery. News flash: having a small bump in your nose, or breasts smaller than a particular model in an advertisement, is not a disabling condition. Having a cleft palate, or having one's nose and mouth blown off in combat, is.
Botox injection has a not so long but equally honorable history as a treatment, especially for disabling uncontrollable muscle spasm. As soon as people figured out that injecting it into your face would smooth out wrinkles, guess what happened. Second news flash: Wrinkles in the face of an aging person are not a disabling condition. (for the vast majority of people who are not super-models)
I know the above viewpoint will be massively unpopular.
I do dysport twice a year on my forehead. Yes, it doesn't really last half a year but oh well.
I have a fast metabolism.
I would change doctors. Sounds like BS to me.
