Dear Kyza 23,
After having botox for almost two years I had a crazy terrible reaction that has left me still coping with episodes after over 8 months. Although I am feeling much better now, I still suffer from mild episodes on occasion and have learned that nothing is worth having your health compromised, not even looking younger.

Please make sure you research botox completely and consider all of the consequences. The side effects listed on the disclaimer by Allergan don't even begin to touch how sick I have been as well as others, from the botox. I have the medical bills from the Emergency Room, Family Doctor, Pharmacy, Radiologist, Cardiologist, Endocrinologist, and Acupuncturist to prove it.

Please go back and read postings on the forum from the last few years from Botoxbummer, Lotusdiva, Paradine, and Ballerina and take their words seriously!!

Best wishes and take care,
Mimi

Hi,
I saw your post and I thought i would contribute. Although, i completely agree that you should definitely do your research and be 100% sure that you should get it done, i can tell you from my experience that botox is safe and reliable but if you still are not sure i can recommend some places that will end your fears. Please let me know if you are interested.

I am 18 and got botox recently.

Basically i had NO side effects besides a SMALL headache that lasted a few hours the evening i got the shots then went away completely. Sadly though my round one injections barely worked and by one months seemed to be gone completely.

I just went in for round two yesterday and it was free of charge since its not my fault the Btx didnt work and so far things seem to be going MUCH better as far as results.

I say GO FOR IT! But like everything, be wise in choosing who, where, how much you get

ENJOY

There are no medical reasons why it is not possible to have Botox treatment at your age, but I would expect most ethical medical practitioners to suggest alternative treatment plans until your mid 20's
