Edit First time receiving Botox treatment

<p>So, the time came and I sat on stage at FACE while Dr. Flynn expertly explained the treatment to the audience of UK cosmetic clinicians and set about taming my wrinkles. Using a very small gauged needle (a diabetic needle) I barely felt the minute injections of botulinum toxin type A being placed in my glabellar, central and upper forehead, (in my case <a title="Bocouture Botulinum Toxin Information" href="http://www.consultingroom.com/treatments/bocouture" target="_self">Bocouture®</a>). Those I did feel were no worse than the slight jump you get when you catch your finger with a sewing needle, thus no topical anaesthesia was required. I have always been a little needle phobic, but it really surprised me how little I actually felt, particularly in my forehead where tissue is very thinly covered so I assumed would be more painful. That was not the case.</p> <p>Following treatment, my only recovery consisted of a slight tenderness at the injection points for a few hours, to be followed by bruising to the touch in the area for a couple of days, most noted in the glabellar. I also had a mild headache feeling in the few hours following treatment, with a feeling of tightness across my forehead as the toxin activated over the following 4 days. None of these caused more than an awareness, rather than discomfort.</p> <p><em><strong>Now 5 days later, the result has almost been established and my omega sign party trick is no more!</strong></em></p> <p>I still have some movement in my upper face, so frowning my displeasure at the activities of my children is still possible. Still, the elevation of my brows is very much restricted, as can be seen from the set of non-clinical after photos below.</p>
