not that i'm at a point that i would need botox or anything but i'm watching some people get it. i don't mind the needle part it's just the fact that your injecting something into your body that is not meant to be there. can't be safe.

poppoppop111 That 'something' that they are injecting is made fron the toxin of a bacteria that causes botulism, I appreciate the fact that have been using this for years, but mistakes can and are made. In years to come they will find a better treatment...

Unlike you I'm not a fan of needles at all. So for me to do anything like this would be totally out of the question. Plus I believe God made us to look the way we are and to accept aging gracefully.. I believe putting botox into your body is dangerous and overtime we will learn the results when its too late. When people start to use botox or do plastic surgery on their faces they end up in most cases not looking like the person they were. In fact they almost look plastic and so fake. Its just disgusting and I just don't understand how they can look in the mirror and think they look great.

lelin1123 I agree with what yu said and the 'latest' swollen lip look, in my opinion, is not at all attractive..

Botox is also something that I would never consider having done either because I honestly believe that there are some risks to it that we don't know about because of the fact that it is still a procedure that is rather new. That said, I know it isn't because of the fact that I'm afraid of needles because if I was afraid of needles, there would be no way that I would have ever been a blood or plasma donor, both of which are things that I've done many, many times in my life.

I don't like needles. Even if I am a dentist, I never wanted that thing on my mouth! I am fascinated at how botox cold make a huge difference on a person's face, but I don't want it near mine.

I am very agree with you. Injecting something which is unnatural or foreign to our body is very unhealthy and harmful. But many people do it for the beauty or cosmetic reason. I often heard about harmful after effect for healthy body after injecting something like botox. Like cancer or disfigured people because of unsafe botox which leaked to their body. When it's happened it'll be too late to fix it. So it's better not to injecting something like that to our body.

Botox is a toxin, so yeah, it's not meant to be there. But saying that, if I could afford it, I would try it. Not for vanity's sake though, but because my forehead squint muscles get so tight it's painful.

No matter how many doctors or specialists attest that botox if administered properly and correctly will have nothing but good effects, I still won't do it. I am scared of needles for one thing, plus, I don't really like the idea of taking stuff in my body. I rarely even take meds or pills for small aches or pains or fever, except when it is something that is really crucial to my health.

Well unless it's really needed I thought that using those substantial stuff are rather not quite acceptable by the body in the long run right? I have heard so many negatives stories around them. I though with added age peoples had their own different charm rather than just looks alone.
