poor man's botox?

Postby arttillygirl » Thu Apr 30, 2009 3:26 pm

I am a 50 teacher and have a large family with very little savings.
Is there perhaps a less expensive way to go about having botox for forehead creases like using an intern or something?
How often does one have to have injections?

there is no substitute for botox. botox is very expensive as a product. you will most likely not get a good treatment by an intern and even if you did consistency is the key by an experienced, qualified injector. i wish there were a cheaper solution but not in the U.S. i think China makes a cheaper botox but God knows the safety PLUS you cannot use it in the U.S. that is illegal. remember the last time someone tried to do that, the doctors are in jail for 2 years and the people stayed in the hospital on respirators for months. stay safe!
best,
