Just noticed this thread still running. And to say, I did have juvederm ultra filler in 4 areas and I am very pleased with the results. It was expensive - you have to see a doctor the first time at Skin clinics and even with discount it came to £800 but after 3 months its still as good as when it was done. You have to return after 2 weeks for any minor adjustments, free of charge of course.

The results are instant, though Id advise not having a hol or big event for a couple of weeks as you do get little bruises along your upper lip. But the upper lip is fab, no longer Dot Cotton lines there , I also had the two frown lines over my nose done and the nose to mouth lines and the lines going down from the side of my lips. TBH though I love not having the lines above my nose, Id not have those next time, as my fringe covers them most of the time and it would save a fair bit of money. Juvederm Ultra is supposed to last conservatively 6 to 9 months by the way.

Why I chose the filler nstead of Botox was that it is more natural plant ingredients and Id got nervous when I read about botox needing more and more as your muscles become more lax.

Well, I am very pleased with the results, its not a frozen look, but very subtle, people just say to me how well I look which is really nice.

Hethar,

£800 is pretty expensive. Any idea if they used 2 syringes for that? (I hope so the price you paid). Even for two syringes it'd cost about £550 with us.

Not true about botox. The more botox you have the less you need and the longer it lasts subsequently.

Also, same as the fillers, botox is dispersed by the body naturally after 6-9 months anyway so theres no danger at all.

Glad you're happy though.

But if you're ever in South Wales? ;-)

Hi, I think they used several syringes on 4 areas. Skin dont price by syringe just do what needs doing and then when I went back after 2 weeks they used another syringe to touch up round my mouth.

Thanks for the invite but I need filler to plump the lines above my lips and sides of the nose/mouth.

The Harley Medical Group are the most expensive for botox, there are much cheaper doctors who perform this procedure safely. I would 'shop around' rather than get ripped off.

My friend, who is a nurse practitioner with prescribing rights, does botox and visits people in their homes. She charges £150 for one area, then £50 for subsequent areas. I have had it done just for those 2 frown lines between the eyes, and am really pleased. It lasted 5 months the first time, and I had it done again last month. She is based in the York area, and seems to be quite busy.

Not true. Botulinum toxin is not "dispersed" it is deposited in the liver and possibly brain, nervous system. Research is ongoing as to it's possible metabolism, no one knows what the long term effects of continuously injecting a toxin into your body might be . There are risks from overdose as this is a deadly poison.

It has legitimate medical uses where a risk benefit ratio may make it worthwhile using but there is no longterm research to show it is risk free for the regular usage decreed for cosmetic purposes. No medicine is risk or side effect free and Botox is a medicine.

I'm going for a top up on Friday. After 2 full years of treatment it is now lasting about 8 months between shots.

I'm also considering a filler in a pesky little vertical line above one eyebrow that doesn't seem to be affected by the botox.

Neither is crossing the road risk-free !
