    I'm considering it too -31 this year and look younger IMO but noticing a few frown lines and had 'smile' lines for years - always smiling.

    My SIL has just had her forehead done and looks no diff but is only 25.

    Any recommendations for the North East pref Newcastle?

    Hello you brave Ladies!

    I've been having Botox for about 3 years now, my Doctor is formally trained as a Gynocologist consultant but she branched out into the cosmetic industry as a sideline. She must be making a mint but she is lovely and has charged me 300 for 3 areas since I've been seeing her.

    She keeps up to date with the latest techniques and always gives good advice. I get the odd bruise but that's due to very fine blood vessels in the face, nothing that some make up can't cover for a couple of days. There's no lasting marks when the bruise fades. Oddly, not many people will admit to Botox (me included) as it's almost like we are cheating, I told my partner who declared that I didn't need it. I said "you won't be saying that when you see me looking natural"! I'm in the Surrey area so if anyone is interested, send me a message and I'll give you some contact details.

    I would pay extra and have it done by a consultant dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

    I would not get it done by nurses, dentists or god knows who else...


    Figures from the indemnity insurers are showing that dentists are being claimed against less than Drs!!

    But we do do an awful lot more head & neck anatomy in our training than Drs.
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.

    Mine is done privately by a local GP. I only have the frown lines done and it costs me £175 but that does include a second appointment and "top up" two weeks later if the effects are not strong enough. This does mean that the degree of paralysis can be fine tuned to avoid that dreadful frozen look. She also puts a couple of shots above the eyebrows to give the effect of an eyelift.


    First treatment only lasted 3 months but the second 5 months and the interval continues to increase :j
