Important note coming from both of my doctors, a surgeon who removed my thyroid gland and endocrinologist: people with certain health issues CANNOT get botox! It reduces the efficiency of hormonal supplement I am using. Check out with your medical experts if you have a certain health issue before considering any skin care procedure.
Signing up for Dr. Sam’s program is the best thing I’ve done for my skin. Just waiting for her products. I recently burned my face off with applying several ACTIVES over and over again until my face was on fire. Now I am learning how to care for my skin. I just may even get Botox after my skin grows back. Lol. Dumb in America
Can it cause muscle atrophy in the forehead leaving just skin that ends up close to bone? And really weak frontalis muscles which end up dropping the Brow even further ?
I have a friend who has been getting Botox and fillers for decades. It looked great at first but after all this time not so much. Is there a limit on how much Botox you should do?
How do you know she would not have looked worse if she hadn’t had it though from aging? In what way does she not look as good as before when she first had it ? I’m genuinely interested
Thank you for the information! I am curious to know how you would treat down turned mouth corners. I am 53, and I reckon the problem is arising from ageing.
Hello. I have never had Botox before, but was just wondering, how effective is Botox at stopping fasciculations? I’ve been having twitching in both of my calves for the last 7 months, and would Botox be an effective treatment to stop this?
Ah tank you. I am 26 and started retinol a year ago because of acne. Now I have all these lines in my face that I dont know if is because of the retinol or something else. No older woman in my family had these deep lines this early in life, they also all smoke so it is so weird to me why I do and how the appeared so quickly and early. Now I am deeply considering botox
Are you consistently using sunscreen? By consistently, I mean every day and applied twice per day or more if you live in a sunny city? Retinol (especially prescription retinoid) makes your skin more sensitive to sunlight and may exacerbate sun damage and early ageing when not properly combined with a good sunscreen (at least 30+ but preferably 50+).
Hey, i know it's a bit of a late response but I started using retinol and from not having ANY wrinkles I got 4 HUGE wrinkles on my forehead. This happened within 4 months from starting retinol. I stopped using it and now my forehead looks much better but still not as good as it was. After that I read other people's stories about the same issue. I would like to know how could this happen when retinol should help with wrinkles.
@@magdalenamaria7335 okey thank you so much. I could not find that many people who had the same issue. I stopped using the retinol that gave me wrinkles but I see I am getting more around my eyes
I had the same issue and immediately stopped after one month. It could be your skin is already super dry and need to take extra care to hydrate. I admit I was negligent and I still believe retinol is good but needs to be done properly. I recommend a healthy lifestyle, lots of water and maybe Botox just for temporary time. Hope this helps
@jennyjohnston1993 yes, it's less units injected than in the forehead area for example and not every injector is quality to do these advanced areas but it definitely works
Fantastic video! I'm seeing my derm next week to possibly get a different retinoid, so I might ask him about Botox. My nasolabial folds have bothered me for a while, especially since starting Zoom calls with the unflattering light in my office.
Be careful of the Zoom distortion factor - I'm seeing so many patients who've had way too much feedback from looking at themselves on a camera this last year and a half and it's ravaged their self-confidence. Make your bathroom mirror kind with good lighting and use this as your reference point!
Hi Dr Sam, I use most of your products plus prescription Tretinoin. I have a vey heavy deep frown line. I’ve had Botox in the past and it does soften the line slightly. Unfortunately the line is almost scar like now, what else would meek it look better. I was on a zoom call a few days ago and someone said they thought I’d had an accident that caused a scar on my forehead. I know it doesn’t look great but this really upset me. Any suggestions would be very appreciated. Thank you
on the whole, most people have regretted cosmetic surgery.. many people post cosmetic surgery report that they feel less attractive and have found themselves approached less by people.
Rare but if happens is horrible. I went to get botox for the first time last year. I was very sick , throwing up , right after the injections and continued for at least 2 days Never again
It's proofen that starting Botox in time works presentative. You can "win" ten years. But that means constantly using it every 3-4 months your whole life. But I think 18 is too early or necessary. Maybe start at 30-35. My mom started really late with 55 but the result is beautiful too.
@@maggyabc I can’t imagine someone at 18 getting botox. Goodness. I’m almost 54 and never had it. At 18 the last thing I was thinking of is aging. We live in such a strange time where anti aging has really gone a bit overboard.
@@Holly.57, The thought of an 18-year-old getting botox every few months to prevent ageing that will not be visible for years is strange to me, too. Also, it sounds exhausting and potentially risky, etc., to upkeep that for decades. At that age, why not take preventative measures by looking after well-being and applying topicals first? In theory, we need to practise ageing healthily and happily rather than this strict anti-ageing trend. The truth is the "anti-ageing camp" is problematic, and we could benefit from a change in popular perspective/theory on this. And I say this as someone who is not anti-cosmetic surgery/procedure.
@@PsycheandButterfly I agree with you 100% and wasn’t very clear on my last post. I’m all for taking care of myself and doing things to keep my skin in good condition etc. I’m also not against it if someone chooses to have any kind of procedure, to each his/her own. I do think we live in a society though that is pushing things to an extreme and it is showing in how the younger generation is reacting to it. There are so many ways to keep a young persons skin in good condition, no smoking, sunscreen, diet, good skincare etc., but botox and injectables at such a young age and the revolving door it is starting, well I just personally find that rather sad.
@@Holly.57, I completely agree! You expressed it well, both times. Our personal aesthetics should be a source of good feeling/wellness not crippling insecurity, etc. Like you, I feel it sometimes stems from a problematic place.

What about injecting lactic acid (sculptra) to stimulate collagen? Is it worth it?
Very practical advice, Thankyou!
Can it cause muscle atrophy in the forehead leaving just skin that ends up close to bone? And really weak frontalis muscles which end up dropping the Brow even further ?
Botox has been so wonderful for me. Why actually, migraines and my wrinkles are gone. The trick is not to get a frozen face.
I’ve recently gotten my first Dysport treatment for frown lines. I am very happy with it.
How can I find a good practitioner for botox? What questions should I ask to determine this or what standards should I look for?
Thank you! 💜
Great questions
I have a friend who has been getting Botox and fillers for decades. It looked great at first but after all this time not so much. Is there a limit on how much Botox you should do?
It needs to be reassessed frequently as time goes on - if anything, I tend to find a treat with less rather than more as patients age.

@@helenalovelock1030 She’s lost her facial fat which is common with age. But that combined with the Botox gives her a pulled look.
Excellent video!
Thank you ❤️
Oo thanks for the info!!!!

How long does a treatment last? I didn’t hear her say, months?
Got it at 24 and it's already too late, it didn't work for my frown line at rest!

Hopefully the video will help you make the right decision. There's no rush:)

Do you have any work done on your face?
I think she mentioned to have Botox in her frown lines.
Great video I have been considering Botox this year as my forehead lines (my Gordon Ramsay’s I refer to them) are prominent in the morning
If it's not the right time, what do you think about face taping? Some kinesio tape between brows.
I used to do this over night
Face taping can work temporarily but I've had clients encounter skin texture and breakouts from the tapes
What about profilo?
hlo mam , i am from India .
is it fine to use both niacinamide and azelaic acid ???????
Yes, our Flawless Brightly Serum formulated with Azelaic Acid, Niacinamide, Ascorbyl Glucoside and Bakuchiol all in one ❤️
Ya like Fine as wine
Don’t think I could stand the pain of the needle (over & over & … .)
Does botox help with down turned sides of mouth?
Yes
@@sophiemercer274 botox on it's own?
@jennyjohnston1993 yes, it's less units injected than in the forehead area for example and not every injector is quality to do these advanced areas but it definitely works
@@sophiemercer274 thank you 😁

You need Hyaluron for the nasolabial folds. Botox works as relaxing muscles. But nevertheless the result of Hyaluron injections there works wonders🙂
@@maggyabc true! I've seen many videos talking about the difference between Botox and filler and where each should go 😃
@@DrSamBunting thank you for that point! My bathroom lighting is much more forgiving, and I do use it as a base reference 💖
My question would be botox or fillers because I'm truly undecided? 🤔
They do quite different things so best to speak to a practitioner that offers both to talk you through it.
@@DrSamBunting thank you so much for your reply 😊

The line might need filler to pop it back to flat.
on the whole, most people have regretted cosmetic surgery.. many people post cosmetic surgery report that they feel less attractive and have found themselves approached less by people.
I don’t know anyone that has regretted it 😂. And I know a lot. Where have you found this data?
Yess to all six questions 🥰
👍👍👍
Nobody needs to frown 😂😂😂. Deep permanent lines bother me even when I see them on other people 😬😬😬
I am little bit scared of any allergic reaction and that is stopping me of proceeding x🤔
Rare - not something I've actually seen in more than 10 years using Botox in practice.
Rare but if happens is horrible. I went to get botox for the first time last year. I was very sick , throwing up , right after the injections and continued for at least 2 days Never again
