I read your post re your Botox experience and wanted to ask how long it took before the Botox in your lip area (1) started fading and (2) when did it go away completely? Thanks! Hi!

If you are under 45 you won't need any botox injections. If you are over 45 then, the safetox will reduce the number of injections by 3. Check this: http://www.safetoxbeauty.com and tell me what you think. I'm using it for 3 month now, and I have to admit (like my husband) that I really look younger.

There are two different "serotypes" of botox commonley used A and B. Products such as botox and dysport are serotype a, myobloc is type b. Patients do and can become resistant to botox although this is very rare (0.6% from my own personal series). When this occurs it is possible to then use serotype b. However there are problems with this, it is more painful to inject and doesn't last as long. I find that after my patients have had 3-4 treatments with botox they only need a treatment every six months, not because the botox is lasting longer, but because they have altered the severe movements and frowns that caused the skin to crease in the first place, in a manner of speaking the muscles have re-trained.
