Ash:

Here's some input from my friends...hope it helps...

From Friend #1:

Love botox - a friend is actually having some face work done right now and the doc told her "don't get a brow lift - just get botox" so it's really being used for more than just getting rid of wrinkles - if placed strategically they can really give you a more youthful look without invasive surgery.

There's no such thing as "you are beautiful enough...." or whatever - everyone needs a "refresher" no matter how pretty you are. The results are immediate but the bummer is they don't last long enough so you become a "junky" of sorts. I'd say every 3 months you need it done again and it could get expensive. Doesn't hurt more than any other shot you'd ever get like novacaine or whatever.

I want to learn more about chemical peels myself - so I can't help with that. I am sure that is a brilliant way to remove a few layers thus leaving you with more youthful skin.

And from friend #2:

I have had very good results with botox injections into the forehead for the frown lines between my eyes.

Just be sure the doctor you go to is experienced! A friend gave me a gift of botox from a Beverly Hills doctor who made my eyelid droop a bit because his placement of the botox was wrong. This doctor was also 3 times as expensive as my regular dermatologist who does a much better job!
