Be careful here. As long as you're still hypo...the skin is not normal...and

wound healing is not normal....and you could end up with a bad reaction. I

had some bad scarring from a skin biopsy (on my face) while hypo (and

undiagnosed) and actually had to have a scar revision.

Botox might help the deep line...but I wouldn't worry about it now, gal.

It sure doesn't sound like it would be a great thing to be injecting into

yourself....., but I'm interested too. Let us know if you do it.I did have

some collagen before and had no bad effects. They have a newer collagen

stuff out now that lasts longer. I am going to get it when I get some money.

Maybe they could use that to fill in the crevice.. It's called restylane

..You don't need a patch test even because it is safer than the previous

type.

Subject: OT: Anyone here have botox injections?

Just curious if anyone here has had botox injections? I am curious

(this is going to sound superficial) to know if any of you have had

this done. I am wondering if it is dangerous and may cause some kind

of weird autoimmune response. I have this deep crevice right in the

middle of my eyebrows and I am starting to get self conscious about

it. I figured a botox injection might smooth it out. Thanks .

> Well, actually, I think that the muscles in your face would be all

stiff, wouldn't they, lol?! OMG, , we're really not going to be

doing our own surgeries, yet, are we? I'm all for self treatment but

good lord!

Ha...ha...ha...ha! I don't know lol . Actually, it's just a very

tiny needle and botox that is injected into the offending muscle. Once

the muscle is completely relaxed, then the wrinkle smoothens out and

presto. Apparently after much use, the muscle thins and the results

last longer and longer. It looked very tempting, although they were

out of stock, and that is a good thing!
