Theoretically yes, though only a trained professional (dermatologist, plastic surgeon, etc.) should do so. They have legal ways of obtaining the fillers (Juvaderm, Restylane, etc.) and Botox. If one was to buy dermal fillers or Botox off the "black market" or any other unauthorized source, there is a great chance that they aren't the real thing. People have caused serious permanent scarring and disfigurement to their faces trying to do "at home" procedures. With Botox, if you were to inject some, say in the corners of your mouth, and you used too much, you could end up drooling for the next four months.

I recently had Radiesse (dermal filler) injected into my face, and while the price can be extremely high, I would never think of doing it myself. It takes a trained eye and skilled hands to inject the filler. After the filler is injected, they position it under the skin to gain the desired effect. Depending on what is being treated determines how deep into the dermal layer the filler is injected into. There are strategic places to put fillers for different outcomes and if not done properly, you could have uneven or even lumpy results. You also need to be able to properly numb the area or you'd be in a whole world of pain.

I live in Northwestern PA, and a large syringe of Radiesse cost me $600 for the first syringe and $500 for the second. They were running a special, so I ended up with a total of $1000. Radiesse gives the face a natural look and stimulates collagen production. I am only 29, though I started noticing smile lines on either side of my nose and my eyes tended to look tired. In my profession, I see a lot of people every day and I felt getting the procedure done would make me feel as confident on the outside as I was inside. Radiesse is supposed to last for 9 months to a year, though everyone is different, not to mention some areas of the face will reabsorb the filler quicker than others. I plan on going back in about 9 months to see if I need a touch up. I'm not too thrilled with the expense, but the peace of mind it brings me is well worth it.

What can you use on your lips that has the same effect as botox?

BOTOX injections are not used on the lips. If they were, the patients lips would go numb and not work, since BOTOX is a relaxer. This is because BOTOX is used to deliver the appearance of smoother skin by relaxing the facial muscles that create wrinkles. If a patient wanted fuller lips, they would need to inquire with a surgeon who offers Dermal Fillers like Juvederm.

What is it like to get Botox injections?

Nice question! The thought of getting injections, sounds terrifying! However, going by testimonials of people who chose Botox, it "barely hurts." The botox injection process entails using a tiny needle that may cause a slight stinging sensation in the injection site. Using topical cream or ice packs can further reduce the minimal discomfort caused by the Botox injection. It is important to remember that, unlike fillers, Botox doesn't magically fill fine lines or wrinkles. Instead, Botox targets nerves manipulating the neurotransmitters controlling facial muscles, meaning it may take up to a couple weeks for the results to show. Other than slight reddening at the injection site, you will leave looking the same post your Botox appointment.
