There has been loads of stuff in all the mags these past couple of years about botox, I would like to try it but want to find out more from people that have actually had it done, so any reply would be really helpful.

My advice would be to give it a try in a small area, say your forhead and see the results, it does work, is relatively painless and is not permanent if you don't really like the result, as you do see some celebs in the mags looking like a rabbit in the headlights!

Yes, give it a go. Very negative press about the actual stuff used, but lets face it, cancer drugs are poison aren't they. In small doses this is a perfectly safe minor procedure to have, but make sure you find a practitioner recommended by someone.

Stay in shape and eat right, it will do far more for your overall apperance than getting poison pumped into your face.

Well that's not true. It may help but as you get older some people simply look older, get more wrinkles, get saggy boobs etc. before others. I do think botox appeals to the more vain members of society that have personal hangups, but hey it's their choice to pump chemicals into their bodies!

i'm too scared of needles to ever try it.

I don't agree with you - i reckon at least 50% of what we call aging is down to lifestyle choices - people who stay in shape and eat right look years if not decades younger.  of course we all age eventually, but living well is so much more the answer than something like botox.

It's like plastic surgery - you can always tell when someone's had it done, so instead of looking younger, which is what you want to happen, you are just a joke.

I think you have to decide how you feel about your body - if you're prepared to inject toxic chemcials in order to temporarily get rid of a few wrinkles, go for it.  But are you doing everything you can to work with the body and reduce the signs of aging?  The combined effects of not smoking, getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, and exercising regularly are far more profound and long lasting than the effects of botox.

There are multiple advantages for using botox:

Some of these side effects can disappear with a proper shot technique and some precaution (no exercise and no massage on the area of injection for 4 hours after injection).
But the big cons are to be mentioned:
