Several have asked for Polly's info. If you are in the Minneapolis Metro area I can highly recommend Polly. She is an RN with 17 years of Botox and Filler experience. She works at Skin Artisans at Edina Plastic Surgery. 952-767-3163 As far as cost…it is extremely variable city to city and state to state. They usually charge per unit of Botox and treatment is very individualized in terms of area treated and frequency. I spend about $300 every 6 months for fairly light Botox.
I'm looking for a person that does the lower face and neck.. hw many units do or did u use for ur jowl area because mine r starting to show and need to get mine done n ur face looks FANTASTIC!!
@@marieJennell I believe jowls would be treated with fillers, not Botox. Retin- a may be helpful as well. I don’t use any as I’m taking the natural route! Botox isn’t used for sagging or to fill in the face. Hope this helps!
I dont think i’ve ever seen botox look THIS graceful, and that is meant as a compliment! i can really tell how well your features are working with the injections + big round of applause to your doc/cosmetologist 💪🏽 You’re gorgeous ma’am! ❤️
It really does work if you have some one that knows what to they are doing. It's critical. I know because I've been doing for 15 years thus creating a fresh look with out overdoing it. All the best ladies!!🙏💖
just hate her when you pay her bills it's her money she used not yours (i just checked your recent comments lol there's nothing wrong with getting done with your face as long as it makes you confident and feel beautiful)
@@Verbsdescribeus Addicted to plastic surgery? Because she utilizes a non-surgical cosmetic procedure to prevent the signs of aging.... make it make sense
@@biancanapoles1725 She looks like a beautiful woman aging gracefully. It’s none of your business how much money anyone else spends on their maintenance. Go be broke somewhere else.
I am almost 72, acceptance is everything. Do the best with what you have. A little Botox if well done has never killed anyone. In Europe, we use less work on our faces. Élégance, a bit of make up, good food, a little social life with good friends and fresh air that is the most important things to stay younger and health is also a question of luck no matter what you do! You look very gracious and I did you soup and we loved it
This is the way botox should be done. She looks her age, extremely pretty and natural. I'm 24 and I swear some young people in their 20s getting botox (and fillers) look like whole different people. I can't imagine what my generation is going to look like in 20 years.
@@lynncrf I don't think it necessarily makes people look older. I just think they're going to the wrong surgeons/cosmetologist because they are allowing their patients to overdo it on the treatments as well as applying it in areas that probably don't even need it. Botox is great to prevent wrinkles and many people start as early as their middle/late 20s. I think those people are just doing it to fit the instagram-face standard and, instead of enhancing their own beauty, they're accommodating their faces to said standard.
@@neldormiveglia1312 I read an article where a cosmetic surgeon said that cheek fillers and too much Botox can pull the skin too much, which is what causes more wrinkles. So you are right: it's all about having a skilled and trained technician.
“Aging is a privilege, the other option (dead) is not attractive!” I’ve heard this quote somewhere (perhaps from Dr Idriss on youtube), it reminds me to be grateful.
That's what I started saying after my second cancer diagnosis. When people say "ohh we're getting so old". I absolutely hate that! Be glad. End of story
lol I find none of the 2 options attractive. Both are inevitable and the "choice" is more than limited. Either you deteriorate to end up dead anyway or you die, that's it! Not a great inspiring situation! It will lead anyway to death in any cases. It depends how long you want to prolong the deterioration in order to delay the inevitable. I remember the end of one of Lafontaine's fables "better suffering than dying, this is men's "fate"" (not sure how to translate the last word, fate is not right but it gives you the idea!).
People kept asking me if I was ok...I realised that the frown lines were too angry looking after years of dealing with painful diseases...lots of frowning! No one asks me now. Botox twice a year age 56yrs works for me.
I am 33 and I have deep frown lines now already and my kids ask me if I'm mad at them all the time. I think I will go see a dermatologist. Thank you for your comment!
This is exactly why I started. People asked me if I was mad. Someone said “stop frowning” (I was about 32) and I had to say I am not frowning it’s permanent. Then I got Botox. To me it was worth it because of those 11’s. I’ve been getting it over a decade now. I only have to get it about once a year now. When I first started getting it I needed it every three months. To me it’s worth it.
I’m 36 and a few years ago I noticed my laugh lines were getting deeper. I started doing a fish face and try to smile while doing that. It has really made a huge difference and my laugh lines are looking like my 14 year old’s laugh lines.
I can't believe my luck - we have ladies in their 60s making RUclips videos sharing invaluable advice with us whilst we're just sitting around laying in bed comparing botox treatments and figuring out what we want... I am considering gummy smile botox and I remember 10 years ago these sort of videos wouldn't exist... at least not honest reviews from very experienced users who always did the right thing and want to be generous and share with the whole world so that the world is a better place and girls don't have to waste their money getting upsold... So grateful for these insightful videos and immediately subscribed, what a great role model and definitely someone I look up to and can go to to navigate aging process...
I am 32 and I get light Botox here and there. I get crows feet and lip lift. The changes are subtle and maintains my youth. Working, cooking, cleaning and taking care of kids /husband is not easy. So anything that keeps me looking softer is a plus!
I'm 32 and just started Botox! Not married and no kids, but my particular line of work is extremely stressful (I'm admittedly one of those "married to the job" types haha). So far I like it, and I also started out with light injections. If you see this, how often do you get yours?
Whatever people ! Each to his own. Why not cover up signs of aging that we can. Learn teach yourself go to classes Drs have right here on RUclips. Smoker lines are not from smoking lol! Why then do men not get smoker lines 😳Right its now called a barcode .You can do acid peels and micro needling and put healthy peptides and serums that cause collagen production and elasticity. Please do it yourself it’s nvery rewarding . And you control everything.
Been doing botox since turning 34 or 35 to prevent a forehead line that was starting. I'm 52 now and now forehead lines, no crow's feet, or lines between my brows to make me look angry or sad. And I'm very pleased with results. It isn't for everyone. Suits me fine.
This video is so refreshing, honest, and authentic. Love how you incorporated Botox information, your experience through the years including acceptance of the aging process THIS is what is meant by aging gracefully. Thank you and you have gotten a new subscriber!
I finally had my first Botox last month in my “11’s”. Not only did it help,it took away my almost nightly headaches. I will continue with Botox. And I’m 69!
I dont think i’ve ever seen botox look THIS graceful, and that is meant as a compliment! i can really tell how well your features are working with the injections + big round of applause to your doc/cosmetologist 💪🏽 You’re gorgeous ma’am!
I am 62 years old and have been getting Botox for over 30 years and I truly feel it’s helped me look younger than I am. With that being said, I’ve never treated my marionette lines, but after watching your video, I will. You look amazing! Thank you fir sharing.
At 42, I sometimes feel that I don’t look the way I do in my memory of myself, if that makes sense. It is so hopeful to hear you talk about your growing acceptance of being and looking older. I never feel like oh that person looks older so they look bad, but I struggle to not see aging in my own appearance as a negative thing. Anyway, you are both lovely and have a lovely presence! I’m glad to have found your channel!
When people don’t recognize me, that’s when I feel aging as a negativity in my appearance. Sometimes former classmates are only interested in how old someone looks instead of being concerned how people are doing health wise. 🍭
Im 29 and im dreading 30. I’m not ready for it. I’m just thinking I’ll be in your position in 13 years…how strange must it be to look in the mirror and see your face changing so drastically. I dread the day I look in the mirror and see that first wrinkle 😔
@@ye23. I'm 25 and feel the same way. I have been feeling 'old' since 23 and it's honestly scary to think about getting older and looking old... what's sad is that I'm still so young and feel this way! I blame society for shoving it down our throats that women's looks start depleting at 25 and by 30 we're grandmas...
@@MsBombastix exactly!! Societal standards need to change. I dont think it’ll happen with my generation (millenials) or gen Z but the generation after that its a possibility. Women dont turn into grandmas by 30, we need to change that backwards mindset.
Hi there! What an interesting video. I'm not ready for botox but someday! You know what, Tamara? I know you're a nurse and if I had to be in the hospital, your soothing presence would make the experience so much better. I bet you're the BEST nurse and mother. Thank you for joining RUclips. ❤❤ Hugs!
I’m 40 and seeing you gives me hope lol. You don’t ever see more aging voices walk about this. So many super young people doing it so early. You look fantastic.
I started Botox for the 11’s at 45, now at 48 I find I need it less often. I researched this, and found that relaxing the muscles actually “trains” the muscles to not be used, so that lessens the amount you need. Additionally, as the muscles are not used, they naturally atrophy and shrink, so ideally, folks should do as you are, and use less over time. I think you look amazing and I appreciate the tips! I agree that crows feet generally don’t need Botox. My provider did it one time to use up the extra product but I didn’t see the benefit and agree that it’s not necessary.
Thanks for your honesty. I'm 68 and have not tried fillers or injections. I've accepted the aging. Not that I'm satisfied with it, but just try to be thankful. You look great.
Wow. I just started 6 years ago! I am very happy with it. My makeup doesn't sink into the laugh lines anymore. And I don't look worn out - which I'm not. Thank you!
Im 29 and really appreciate this video. I am already feeling nervous about aging and this video made me feel so much better. I have been interested in botox but my friends are very anti-botox and want to embrace aging. But this video made me feel much better about the decision being mine, and it doesnt mean I have low self-worth or dont appreciate my body/natural aging just because I want to try botox.
I am also 29 and have always been against botox but the last few years I've been considering it. I had a poor diet choice for many years and ended up anorexic. It severely aged my face. Not all aging is natural these days, I hate when people make out like we're insecure for not wanting to look aged. I aged very quickly in the face due to the health problems I had and deeply regret my choices. It would be nice to have a bit more confidence back as I don't feel myself. I used to have quite wide eyes and loved eye shadow, due to the health issues I had my eyes are very sunken now and I can't really wear eye shadows.
it's funny because many people who are loud about being against Botox, have no problem with wrinkle creams... I'd rather spend a little money on Botox than throw away hundreds on wrinkle creams that don't work. and for what it's worth, I only get my Botox once a year. I started at 29 and I'm actually getting less now as gravity changes my face.
Nobody seems to talk about or understand that Botox does not actually stay localised as they tell you. It spreads into the central nervous system (research by Queensland university) and as it’s a deadly neurotoxin, it is highly dangerous. So many people are getting sick and have issues but don’t realise it’s from the Botox! Often it’s not the first injection that causes an issue, sometimes it takes years until you start noticing health issues or neurological problems or fatigue etc. People also don’t understand that Botox actually destroys your major neurotransmitter called Acetylcholine which is responsible for almost everything in your body, but is the main neurotransmitter for the brain and when there is a lack of it, this is associated with Dementia. There are going to be millions more causes of early onset Dementia and health problems because of how many people are using Botox without knowing the consequences. You will not easily find this info on Google because big pharma suppress it as Botox is the number one money spinner for them and they actually boast about this is speeches. I’m not sharing this to scare anyone, I just think we as consumers should be correctly informed before making these decisions. There’s a Facebook group for Botox side effects if anyone wants some accurate information
my granny was heavily wrinkled since I could remember. she was a heavy smoker and passed in her 80s. i loved her wrinkles because it looked real and with everyone she was still beautiful to me
Botox makes look better only, but not younger. Age is not about wrinkles. Age is about : - sound and vibration of the voice - the speed of reactions - the energy in the eyes - vocabulary - mood - level of sense of humor - the way of walk and sit etc.
Sushmita: re- Age is about... totally agree with you on all those points - posture, voice control and speaking with a smile in your voice adds to the aura of how you carry yourself, hence botox puts the "cherry on top" ❣
This what I call aging gracefully. Tamara I am the same. I have started at 52 and I am sooo glad. I do not regret! My MD make sure that the results look natural all the time. It's beautiful! Congrats!
I started at 22! Aha but I had forehead lines you’d normally see on women in their 40s I’ve always had a good experience! The only annoying part for me is when it’s setting in 7-10days later I get a bad headache and pressure for a day or two then it’s all good!
I’m 31 and had my first Botox treatment about a year ago. Prior to my this I had always thought people looked their best when they didn’t try to iron out every fine line - subtle, graceful tweaks had the best results. But once I had my first treatment, it was so easy to see how people become more critical of themselves and want to erase all signs of ageing- the results were almost addictive! Your video has reset my mindset to my original goal- to look my age yet refreshed and glowing as you are the absolute poster girl for this! Beautiful results and excellent mentality towards ageing and still feeling and looking wonderful.
@@LittleMissHoop exactly. I’m almost 32 and promised myself I won’t touch Botox until 40. Even then maybe I’ll be happy and confident with my face after diligently using retinol and sunscreen 🤷🏻♀️ everyone I know seems so addicted to obliterating their wrinkles. Seems really emotionally unhealthy.
@@LittleMissHoop you have no idea what her appearance is like or her lifestyle. Not every 30 year old is wrinkle free. I held off til I was 35 but I have the crows feet of a 50 year old. So it’s not madness. Everyone has a different starting point!
@@LittleMissHoopI had quite deep wrinkles in my 20s so I started at 28. Still have lines… and movement.. but I’m so happy I did.. cause they would have been so bad now if I didn’t
I know for me, I want to be natural and not alter what aging is. My 4 granddaughters and daughters need to see that I’m happy getting older. Thanks for the video.
Yes, it’s a choice. Only they know why and I don’t mean to shame anyone. I assume everyone is natural just because of where I live and my friends at my age, 67, aren’t having it. It’s upsetting to see them talk about skincare and makeup and ways we care for ourselves and then I compare and then find out Botox, fillers, facelift has been done, and it’s a let down because of course it’s not the same in our journey to look our best naturally.
I am going to my first appointment today. I am 69. I have watched your very helpful sharing of your experiences. So, I messaged my lady who is also careful and professional in that there is no upsell. I told her I had a relaxed muscle in my left eye and she will be taking this into account. I had not considered it before I watched your video. So, thankyou ❤
I have gotten Botox since age 62 (I'm 77 now), but 1-1/2 years ago switched to Dysport on the suggestion of my PA when the price of Botox kept going up and up. I like Dysport as it's a little less expensive, kicks in within 1-2 days and lasts just as long if not longer. These treatments make me happy. I get it on my forehead, the 11's between my eyebrows, and crows feet. When I notice the Dysport wearing off, it's most noticeable on my forehead, where I've always had very deep lines have decided to live with my crows feet 😊and skip the Dysport next time!
It is so important to use a PROFESSIONAL for these treatments. I receive my Botox and fillers from a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in the face, head and neck. This is all that he does. I could not imagine anyone else working on my face. He is an artist!
I've done minimal Botox on a regular basis.I always make sure it's kept looking natural and looking like me. You know it's been done right when someone randomly says " I don't what you are doing but you look good and refreshed" .
Great video. I started around 35 around 17 years ago for the 11s. I love the way it looks and just as importantly how it FEELS. I don’t carry as much tension in my face anymore and FEEL so much more relaxed.
I started my Botox journey 7 years ago when I was 35. I normally get it on the sides of my eyes and around my forehead. I get the treatment every 4-6 months. Because of it, I look naturally younger than my actual age of 42, and nobody can tell I get Botox. I don’t think I want to live without it. 😊
Wow Tamara, you look lovely! I honestly thought you were 10 years younger. I just turned 30 and I plan on getting Botox and other procedures within the next 5 to 10 years. I am always told not to do it, but to be honest I have been working since I was 16, so I have saved up more than enough to do somethings that I want to do. Thanks you also for your work at an RN, we really appreciate your hard work!
I am 38 , I done forehead botox 7 months ago for the first time, and I am soooo happy I did it. it gave me lots of self confidence. I was unhappy every day watching wrinkles grow on my forehead, but then they were gone, so I felt happier every day. I will continue to do that but maybe only once a year for now.
Same age. Same thing. No regret. I had started 4 years ago and never regretted a single second. Every 7-8 month and tadaaaaaa. A refreshing process never hurts.
I have had botox in my 11’s and to raise my eyebrows a bit for years and it has made a huge difference. I used to have deep 11’s and even when I don’t get it done on a regular basis it still looks much better then before I started. My daughter had the same thing happen to her. She went to someone different because they were offering a great deal and it ended up costing her more. They told her she needed a lot more then she normally would get. It’s just a gimmick to get you in there. You look very relaxed and natural!
Thank you, Tamara. I am 62 and spent about 5 years doing Botox and fillers in my 50’s. As I let those fade away I decided to allow my face to do its thing and use that money to buy fashionable clothes. I get so many compliments on my outfits than I ever did on my facial treatments. However, I do use surgical tape on my 11’s at night and that keeps them softened.
I'm a 61y.o man and I look much younger than my age but I think *in part* it's genetics. I tried botox 18 months ago and a few years prior to that and look it's fine but I wouldn't do it more frequently than that. I find daily exercise (I love calisthenics) is the only real key to staying young both physically and aesthetically. I think you look good and as you say, it's not about more and more botox and filler it's about feeling comfortable with the fact you're getting older and thats just part of this wonderful life. 😀 Take care, Mark
I don’t care what the people who disagree with botox say. I don’t even know why they would bother to comment about disagreeing with it. I cannot wait to start botox. I want to get a little bit of filler, too. I love looking youthful for my age and I always want to look that way. You look amazing!!
Mmm idk about filler because we now know that it doesn’t dissolve on its own, but instead can migrate throughout the face and give you an overall rounded, puffy appearance. Botox or Dysport seem relatively safe though.
@@gummy5862 agreed. Botox & fillers faulsly get put into one category, but they are not at all same. Try out Botox, no problem. But filler, be very careful AND FO YOUR RESEARCH! until this day most injectors won't tell you the long term truth about fillers. But it's coming to light more and more, what we have always suspected looking at those swollen celebraty faces. Only remember, they have the means to get the filler damage corrected by the best doctors, we don't. Even desolving the synthetic hyaluronic acid comes with its own risks, like your body's own hyaluron getting desolved along side. It's a very tricky subject with fillers. Botox on the other hand, you can try it out no problem, risks to cause any long term damage are minimal
Unless your face has lost drastic amount of fat, it's better to avoid fillers. Botox and after a centain age a neck lift goes a long way to produce beautiful looks. Eyebrow transplant is another one that really helps if people lose their eyebrows.
@@schafswiese That is incorrect information. Unless you are a doctor, please refrain from disinformation regarding the dissolving of one’s filler. It does not disrupt the body’s natural production of hylauronic acid. Dr. Anil Rajani on RUclips addresses this exact issue at length for those who want a more fulsome discussion and peer reviewed scientific data.
@@София-д3р7д Not exactly accurate. If your face has lost a large amount of weight, no amount of filler is going to help it. The loose skin issue is best tackled with a facelift. Fillers are fine. They stimulate collagen production and in the right hands, are subtle and beautiful. Real Self is a great website resource for information re: every kind of cosmetic procedure, including customer satisfaction ratings of different fillers.
37 year old male here. Started getting botox at 32 and it has been tbe best thing I've ever done for myself. I get just enough to look fresh. I regularly get comments that people are surprised by my age and id be lying if i said that didnt feel nice. But most importantly, i feel ok about the dude in the mirror and that has given me a much better quality of life in general. I definitely advocate botox. The only downside is it aint cheap, and i cant always justify the cash every 4-6 months so sometimes get it done less than id like!
Just turned 40 and started my Dysport journey. Thank you for giving me something to look forward to as I age because you are absolutely gorgeous & you looks so natural!
It makes me sad reading some of the comments in here. So many of us women are terrified of ageing when we should not be. I also used to dread getting older and it started as early as 8 years old. I was already doing face masks, using my mom’s creams, doing DIY anti-ageing masks. I have always been super self-conscious about getting older. Then around 25, I started relaxing a little. I mean, it‘s a scary phase because you’re getting closer to 30 and then I realised: well, Whats so wrong about turning 30? 30 is still HOT. It’s not old. And I truly believe that 40 is also still hot, as long as you have maintained yourself physically with exercising and have lived a healthy lifestyle. I realised that this fear of turning 30 mostly came from hearing random (and stupid) men saying that women hit the wall at 30. That we are not desirable from then on. That we are grandmas at that age. Then I paused and looked around me and realised that most of the women from my entourage in their 30s don’t look any different than my 25 year old friends. I realized that the 30 year old women I know still get hit on by both younger and older men. That they are still completely functional and that nothing have changed. Sure, our biological clock is ticking but except from that, most women in their 30s don’t look much different than women in their 20s. At least not where I am from. I am lucky to have pretty good genes that make me look younger than I am. However, I am more than my age and my physical appearance. If we fear ageing, we prove those misogynistic men right. It starts with us. Let’s not be scared of ageing. Let’s not believe in those lies meant to control us saying we age faster and worse than men. It’s not true. We age normally and we should not be embarrassed. Lots of men start going bald at 28 and gaining a beer belly at 32 so they should look in the mirror first. Bottom line is: live a healthy life, stay active, take care of your skin from a young age and give the middle finger to anyone who shames you for not being 21 anymore.
Preach it sista!! :) I just turned 30 a couple months ago.. And most people think I'm 25 or younger. As long as you nurture your inner child, the outside will more than likely reflect that ^_^ Of course, as you said, it's wise to honor one's beauty with wholesome, quality food and a balanced health routine. Korean skincare products are also a good idea! :D
You look absolutely beautiful! I'm 45 and on this journey and starting to question my botox. I love erasing the cranky signs of ageing but I think I'm coming to a point of also seeing I just want to embrace my ageing.
I’ve been getting botox/dysport/xeomin for 8 years now and LOVE it. I go every 4-6 months and my next appt. is in a few weeks. Watching your video has encouraged me to cut back a bit and see how it goes. My main concern also are the 11’s, brows and marionettes. I have always had positive results (and no one can believe I am over 61 😊 Thank you for sharing your journey. You look beautiful!! 🤍🤍
WOW you really do look so stunning!!!! You have done botox so tastefully! I am 36 now and just had my first round of botox and fillers this past Monday. I am so happy with how my results are turning out!! I would love to look graceful like you at 60!
You are absolutely stunning 🤩 I’m 37, and I’m using Botox since November and I love it. And as you say, I told my injector: “I want to age gracefully, I don’t want to look weird”. Thank you for sharing your experience, I had doubts about Botox in the long run, but you answered so many questions already ❤️
This video was so informative and I love what you stand for. I love how you use botox to enhance your natural beauty . You are radiating and I love that you're embracing you're "happy" lines and that you're finding beauty in all stages of your life. I love this video!
It’s so nice seeing people older than me on youtube. I want to learn so much from you guys! I am 38 and I hope to start maintenance of fine lines in my 40’s. You look super lovely and I hope I age as well as you even if it takes a little help. (:
Hope your day is going well over there? Thank you on your continuous prayer and support to me throughout my movies career once again thank you. Where are you reaching out from?
I will be 55 next month and I have been doing botox for probably 15 yrs love it & I don't intend to stop. I get compliments by people, but I do it for myself...it is amazing how good I feel afterwards! Love watching your videos.
Loved watching this! I'm 29 and not interested in getting Botox, but I have noticed that my right eye is becoming much more hooded than the left. It is making me self conscious, and it is good to know that if it becomes more dramatically asymmetrical as I age, I have nonsurgical options to boost my confidence. It's so important to feel good about how you present yourself to the world! I thought Botox was just for wrinkles, migraines and excessive sweat lol I'm glad to have learned something new :)
Hi Amanda, do you wear contact lenses on daily basis? My friend is 33 years old and one of her eye lids started to be droopy to the point of people noticing it and pointing it out. She went to an eye doctor and now she had to do a surgery for that eye droopiness because it obstructed her vision. The eye doctor told her that it is because of contact lenses which actually happens to some people wearing them for many years. My friend did a lasik surgery because the doctor said that if she has a surgery she would have to wear glasses or the eye droopiness would come back. Her surgery is scheduled for November, but me and some of her friends already noticed that her eye lid somehow does not seem as droopy as before after the lasik surgery.
This video has been quite insightful to me. I am actually 2 years older than you, and started with fillers and Botox in my early 50’s. At that point, I was using Botox as a preventive measure. My Botox journey mirrored yours, with the exception of crows feet and my neck. I have never had my neck done, but had far more units that you, in my forehead. Using a few units in my chin area, gave tremendous results. I did it as long as I could afford it, but continued religiously with fillers. Now, like you said, it seems harder and harder to keep up, as my skin continues to lose elasticity. What I deemed as a bit ‘extra’, now seems necessary. This month I am adding Botox back into my maintenance routine. I admit to liking a more ‘plastic’ look, for lack of a better word. I do not want to see fine lines on my forehead and detest marionette lines. I get mine filled annually. Thank you for giving me basic guidelines and expectations. 💙
Do you get your marionette lines filled only with Botox? I do NOT want to use any other filles but would definitely try botox for them. I have used nothing to this day at 62, but noticed some marionette coming in.... Thank you.
You look amazing! I just turned 28 yesterday and I am starting to see little age lines on my smile and forehead. I plan on keeping it as natural as possible with sunscreen serums and facials well at least until I’m a bit older but I have been curious about Botox. I don’t plan on using any until my late 30s early 40s and this video totally confirmed my decision to wait until I am a bit older. Thank you you are gorg!
Thankyou- great info!! I am about to turn 35 and was seriously thinking about getting my first botox, but hearing your starting age made me want to hold off a bit and just flow with my process. I know I want to do it one day- but this, unlike some other "influencer" videos, actually made me feel not so frantic and rushed. You look FABULOUS! I can only hope to age as beautifully, wisely, and gracefully as you
I started my Botox journey about 9 months ago now at 41. I’m glad I waited because when I look back in my mid 30’s I really didn’t have any lines, 30s is still young and you don’t know how your face is going to age until it starts aging and showing. I love the Botox I’ve had so far, I waited until the lines in my face started showing more and bothering me. Now my face looks exactly the same but without the lines. It’s given me so much confidence, I don’t mind going without make up now and a gf said to me at brunch the other day ‘you look so young’ and I didn’t have a stich of make up on. Anyway I was glad I waited until I felt ready. I’ll probably keep getting it now every 5/6 months. (I get around 35-40 units depending).
Many of you have asked how to find the description box where I list lots of information and product links.

I'm so glad you mentioned the under eye "shelf" that occurs when getting Botox near the eye area. I also had this experience and it made me appreciate my more natural look instead. There's something to be said about smiling with our eyes! ✨☺️
same here, my eye bags showed after I did Botox on my eye area to ease the smile lines, it makes me look older and wired. I stopped doing Botox ever since , I love smiling so be it
I’ve never been interested in having Botox, but my daughters have started with that so I’m interested particularly how your Botox journey progressed. They are in their 40s, and it just hasn’t been clear to me why they would want to start with Botox already. Thanks for this frank discussion!
You look great ! It is refreshing to see videos of women over 50, 60 and even older taking care of themselves, physically, emotionally and mentally. I am looking into the possibility of having Botox injections in the near future. To our health and good looks ladies, whether you decide Botox or not!! Let's give to the world but most important to ourselves the best version of who we are.
Totally what I was looking for, the minimal approach and also seeing how after many years of use Botox has prevented entrenched lines. I am 30 and about to get my first Botox. Planning to get it once-twice per year. If I look anywhere near as youthful as you at 60+ I’d be delighted. I’m not bothered about maturing I just want to look good whilst doing it. You are definitely not just 10 years younger but a happy good looking 10 years younger.
What a great video, very refreshing to hear this. I recently got my first botox done and I'm 42 years old. I got the crows feet done and I love the result. I feel more confident and happy.☺️ Thank you for sharing your experience. ❤️
I’m 45 and look much younger. Started dysport at 42. I also have done under eye filler twice. Tbh it’s a game changer. I look so rested and youthful and I turned my twin sister onto dysport. I’ve only had undereye or “tear trough” Filler twice. It last a year and a half for me and I get dysport every 4-5 months. It works way better than all the Lotions and potions out there and in the end you save money. People think I’m early 30s tops. It really is a game changer and worth it. I’m also talking as a person who had only one static line on my forehead when I started but it’s gone and it was so tiny. But I know women who are early 30’s who get Botox and that kinda blows my mind. But everyone ages differently and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Having my 11s treated was such a revelation! I had these intense and deep "angry" lines from the age of 20 and by 36 it got to a point where I looked super angry literally all the time, and it definitely has a bad effect on your mood when every reflective surface ""greets" you with a HUGE frown! Now at 39, after 3 years of Botox I only have a faint little wrinkle (on my strong side) where my mega 11s used to be and my brow and forehead areas look more youthful than they did in my late 20s! Thank you for the info about the marionette lines, definitely going to try that next time I have my injections.
I'm in my mid-30s and hearing your journey is also wonderful for me. I've struggled with self acceptance my whole life, so I never paid attention to my beauty and health per say. But as I age, I cherish my healthy and expression of my beauty and would like to maintain it. Either way I'm so impressed by Polly's work and its good to hear that you have accepted more parts of your aging process.
My mum does botox and she used tretinoins for over 25 years. These are the best things I've ever seen to look beautiful with age. I personally don't like facelifts, and looks they produce. I have hopped on Tretinoin train since I was 19, let see where it goes and will try botox when I get to 40s 😄
@@katesnyder4107 I used to use tretinoin cream called retirides, when I first started, the ones that are prescribed for acne, I didn't have acne. Later I switched to Elizabeth Arden's retinol, it comes with cermide, bcz ceramides are amazing ingredient to moisturize, it also helps not to have irritation. It comes in individual capsules in a jar, so the ingredients are stable for each new application. I also love the retinol B3 serum from La Roche posay.
@@kyanwise3632 In the morning the caffeine serum and buffet (peptide) serum, both from the ordinary. In the evening Niacinamide from the ordinary. At night Retinol from Elizabeth Arden.
I'm 40 and have been doing Botox for 10 years. My dermatologist at the time said it is a great preventive measure to not allow permanent wrinkle to form (for which Botox no longer works and a filler is required). Well, my dermatologist was right because 10 years on and I don't have any fine lines except the expression ones (dynamic) which only show temporarily when my Botox wears off. I absolutely love this treatment and wouldn't go without it!
I am now entering into my fifties and began to think about doing fillers for my face so this video came right at the right time! This was a great and informative video! Well done miss Tamara 😉
Hope your day is going well over there? Thank you on your continuous prayer and support to me throughout my movies career once again thank you. Where are you reaching out from?
So happy to have stumbled upon you and loved this video and your transparency with your Botox journey. I’m 55 and last week had my first ever filler experience. I just had 1ml, 1/2 in my lips and the other half in my Marriott lines which are all I focus on when I look at myself now. Very subtle change and now I have a slight upturn in the corners of my mouth, much like yours instead of a grumpy old lady expression. My injector did suggest Botox in my Marriott lines to relax the muscles and also above the arches of my brows. So I’ll be squirrelling away what I can to get that done next. I also intend to leave my forehead and crows feet as they are. It’s just my jowls and Marriott lines that I’m unhappy with. Thank you again ❤
This is amazing! You are everything I aspire to be in the way you look at yourself at 61. I am 45 and started Botox early this year for the same reasons you started, I love it and love how I feel with it.
You are STUNNING!!! I am elated that you knew you deserved to be treated and feel comfy in your skin. Thank you for the delightfully informative video; it's always so cool to see someone "on the other side" of where a lot of people are starting off.
I love that you mentioned how botox isn't a cure-all for other skin issues that come with age. I'm 33 and not really interest in botox currently, but adding a few great products to my skincare routine has really refreshed my appearance and made me feel more youthful again (especially with 4 kids and a demanding job)!
I'm 29 y/o and I get botox every six months aswell and will continue to do so. I carry alot of tension around my eyebrows and forehead. if you get headaches alot I recommend trying botox! it helps take tension away from my eyebrows and eye area. and I love it helped with my forehead lines too!
Also remember that with 16 years of treatment, you have significant atrophy of the treated muscles. This is predictable. I often use the analogy of putting your arm in a cast for three to four months. It will be scrawny when the cast comes off until you exercise it again. After 20+ year of neuromodulators, my glabella is down to about 10-15 units twice a year and in my 40's it used to take the 25-30 units to knock it out every three months. You are fortunate to have found the right injector who will make the appropriate adjustments in your dose. Reassessment is key in keeping natural results. At 66, I do not look 20, but I am the best version of my happy, nurse injector, grandma self. Thank you for your informational video.
You look naturally so beautiful!! I like that Botox is "minor" and preserves people's features while also delays or prevents the deep onset of wrinkles. It worked so well for you and your expressions still come through just fine.
I’m 58 and I get Botox for crow’s feet, elevens, marionette lines and lip flip. It’s all subtle and simply keeps me looking a little refreshed as opposed to the tired look I have without it. I still look my age. I’ve had fillers in the past which are amazing, but the cost is prohibitive.
Yeah the cost is no joke. I’m 37, started at 34 and I keep it really minimal, a light amount of Botox every 3 months (~$2400 a year), I’ve gotten filler twice ($1000 each time, wouldn’t do that again as there are better options now) and Sculptra once ($3000). I’m a working class person, if I saved that money instead it would be a life-changing amount by time I’m 50. But I just can’t stand watching my face deteriorate before my eyes, I’d get even more done if I could afford it, particularly threads
@@JC-yy8iv are you taking care of your skin too? Watch the Budget Dermatologist videos. I've started a routine with the best ingredients for day and night and also make up tutorials for mature skin, I'm 56, and I could see a difference within days!! Very happy. I may try Botox someday but I am also Leary.
I’m 35 and have “11s” along with tension headaches in that area and it’s interesting to learn that Botox might help ease the look and the pain too. I like how you work on anti-aging but keep your natural gray. You look great! Thanks for the informative video.
I like that’s she’s kept her grey too. I think how we choose to handle our aging is such a personal choice. Some people don’t do a thing while others go all out. I’m 52 and just got my first injection of Botox in my 11’s today. I didn’t tell a soul because I didn’t want to be talked out of it like has happened in the past. I’m really happy with how it went, although the effects can’t be seen yet.
Very informative! I’m 37 and started botox 2 years ago. Because, like you, I started to notice signs of aging and feeling like I looked tired Or haggard. Obviously we can’t stop the process but I’m just trying to age gracefully and to see you and hear your process I really feel like I’m going in the right direction. I can only hope I look as great as you do at 61!!
Such an informative and pleasant video! I love that you don’t do anything by your eyes-it keeps the look of a smile looking natural. Will make sure I follow that guideline. I’m 48 and will get my first treatment next week. Your video gives me great hope! You are absolutely radiant and look natural. Maybe we only notice women who have bad work done and never guess that others do have Botox because it is done well. Thank you for the inspiration!
Good Morning, Tamara! Very interesting video, I have never thought much of Botox before I have always associated Botox with "big lips" or something negative. I really enjoyed your hearing about the relationship you have with your doctor and why you chose to do Botox - I have a "softer" view of it now :) Have a wonderful week, and I look forward to next Sunday as always :) When I was in the hospital - I would have loved to have you as my nurse (your eyes and voice are so comforting) - as I had a very traumatic accident (March 2019 - I fractured my femur in 3 different places, I still can't walk without a walker (long story, but I still need another surgery). Thank you again, Tamara - I appreciate the time it takes to keep up your channel and make content relevant to all different viewers.
Hope your day is going well over there? Thank you on your continuous prayer and support to me throughout my movies career once again thank you. Where are you reaching out from?
Your cheeks and nasolabial are looking very youthful, smooth and lifted. That's my main concern area for some reason if I smile the eyes don't crease as much only the laugh lines since my cheek are not as strong. The way I see it the nasolabial deep folds and 11 lines are the main two that make a person appear upset and you lack both of them!
You’re gorgeous in all three photos in the thumbnail of the video. I hope to look as good as you as I age. I’m not doing Botox yet (43), my friends are and they’re starting to look aged by it if that’s possible. They look a bit scary! It’s putting me off far too much in their foreheads and their eyebrows are weird and it’s making their eyes look strange in the inner corners. It looks way false!
I think Tamara's video is helping to show that Botox doesn't have to be so extreme, if you stay sensible. You can use it rationally and stay natural. Stay realistic with your expectations, don't let them up-sell you, do your research to find a good & ethical injector and it will be fine
If it’s done sparingly it looks great. However, it takes a while to “settle in“ and does look a bit unnatural for the first month or so - which probably isn’t worth it for a lot of people considering you need to do it several times a year. Personally, I really like it. But the first month does kind of suck…
You are a very wise woman and I appreciate your views on ageing gracefully. Like you, I have had Botox since my mid-40s and it has helped slow down the formation of wrinkles between my brows. I see that my face is changing and I have come to accept that my marionette lines and jawline will need some work in the future if I can afford it. My skin is getting thinner and creases appear more quickly. I am now nearly 57 years old and I want to age gracefully but without looking angry or sad all the time when my expression is relaxed. I need to find a provider who listens to what I want rather than pushing me to do what they want and at a cost I cannot afford. Thank you for your video. I don't feel alone in this. None of my friends do Botox so it is much appreciated. I feel validated and less ashamed of wanting to slow down the ageing process.
I've never had botox or fillers at almost 48 I just started using the nuface and boy does it make a difference. My face is so much tighter in just a few weeks. You look great, thanks to not overdoing it and your eyes are very cute like a bambi. The eyes are always the most important imo
Thank you! Curology RetinA, vitamin C serum and SUNSCREEN! You might enjoy my skin care playlist linked here: ruclips.net/p/PLa6JyEqIvicWvAHCB9fu2CbzVIKTVP3YA
This was so helpful for someone like me getting to the age where I’m just starting to notice my first signs of aging and am consider botox! I’ve seen some older people look very strange and unnatural over getting bad work done over the years. So nice to see an example and get advice on how one might use botox to age gracefully without looking strange over time! I would not have guessed you had anything done. I guess that’s the importance of finding a good injector and not over-doing it. Great advice overall, thank you for sharing!
Several have asked for Polly's info. If you are in the Minneapolis Metro area I can highly recommend Polly. She is an RN with 17 years of Botox and Filler experience. She works at Skin Artisans at Edina Plastic Surgery. 952-767-3163
As far as cost…it is extremely variable city to city and state to state. They usually charge per unit of Botox and treatment is very individualized in terms of area treated and frequency. I spend about $300 every 6 months for fairly light Botox.
I knew your accent was Minnesotan before I seen this comment!!! 🤣😂😅❤️❤️💁🏻♀️
I’m the person that wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole LOL! 🤪😉😘
Love this! Also from Minnesota as well❤️
I'm looking for a person that does the lower face and neck.. hw many units do or did u use for ur jowl area because mine r starting to show and need to get mine done n ur face looks FANTASTIC!!
How many units does it take for the bands in the neck to treat the jowls area?
@@marieJennell I believe jowls would be treated with fillers, not Botox. Retin- a may be helpful as well. I don’t use any as I’m taking the natural route! Botox isn’t used for sagging or to fill in the face. Hope this helps!
"Age gratefully and gracefully", I have never heard that and love it.
🥰
I loved that phrase too! Great, informative video !
I dont think i’ve ever seen botox look THIS graceful, and that is meant as a compliment! i can really tell how well your features are working with the injections + big round of applause to your doc/cosmetologist 💪🏽 You’re gorgeous ma’am! ❤️
Thank you Linea! 🤙
It really does work if you have some one that knows what to they are doing. It's critical. I know because I've been doing for 15 years thus creating a fresh look with out overdoing it. All the best ladies!!🙏💖
I think Tamara would look just as beautiful now even if she hadn't chosen botox!
I'm just wondering, wouldn't dying your hair a different color make you appear even more youthful?

I am almost 72, acceptance is everything. Do the best with what you have. A little Botox if well done has never killed anyone. In Europe, we use less work on our faces. Élégance, a bit of make up, good food, a little social life with good friends and fresh air that is the most important things to stay younger and health is also a question of luck no matter what you do! You look very gracious and I did you soup and we loved it
Thank you for your wise words. And I’m so glad you enjoyed the soup!! ❤️
I just got botox for the first time ever and I’m so happy to see a long term user who looks naturally beautiful!
This is the way botox should be done. She looks her age, extremely pretty and natural. I'm 24 and I swear some young people in their 20s getting botox (and fillers) look like whole different people. I can't imagine what my generation is going to look like in 20 years.
Comment by Carmencita: They will look either like monsters, or like wax statues. Why not jut take care of yourself properly and age gracefully?
Botox in the 20s actually makes people look older.
@@lynncrf I don't think it necessarily makes people look older. I just think they're going to the wrong surgeons/cosmetologist because they are allowing their patients to overdo it on the treatments as well as applying it in areas that probably don't even need it.
Botox is great to prevent wrinkles and many people start as early as their middle/late 20s. I think those people are just doing it to fit the instagram-face standard and, instead of enhancing their own beauty, they're accommodating their faces to said standard.
@@neldormiveglia1312 I read an article where a cosmetic surgeon said that cheek fillers and too much Botox can pull the skin too much, which is what causes more wrinkles. So you are right: it's all about having a skilled and trained technician.
She looks her age u say? That’s cause you’re 24 honey, women over 60 don’t look like this! She looks max 50 yo!
“Aging is a privilege, the other option (dead) is not attractive!” I’ve heard this quote somewhere (perhaps from Dr Idriss on youtube), it reminds me to be grateful.
I value the more natural approach of the RUclipsr "Mary Ellen Over 60" who doesn't use Botox, fillers, or plastic surgery.
That's what I started saying after my second cancer diagnosis. When people say "ohh we're getting so old". I absolutely hate that! Be glad. End of story
lol I find none of the 2 options attractive. Both are inevitable and the "choice" is more than limited. Either you deteriorate to end up dead anyway or you die, that's it! Not a great inspiring situation! It will lead anyway to death in any cases. It depends how long you want to prolong the deterioration in order to delay the inevitable. I remember the end of one of Lafontaine's fables "better suffering than dying, this is men's "fate"" (not sure how to translate the last word, fate is not right but it gives you the idea!).
People kept asking me if I was ok...I realised that the frown lines were too angry looking after years of dealing with painful diseases...lots of frowning! No one asks me now. Botox twice a year age 56yrs works for me.
I am 33 and I have deep frown lines now already and my kids ask me if I'm mad at them all the time. I think I will go see a dermatologist. Thank you for your comment!
This is exactly why I started. People asked me if I was mad. Someone said “stop frowning” (I was about 32) and I had to say I am not frowning it’s permanent. Then I got Botox. To me it was worth it because of those 11’s. I’ve been getting it over a decade now. I only have to get it about once a year now. When I first started getting it I needed it every three months. To me it’s worth it.
@@MyLifeInTheDesert that's good to know, I'm 33 and those 11's are so bad already 🤦. I'm going to get it, you've inspired me! 🙂
I’m 36 and a few years ago I noticed my laugh lines were getting deeper. I started doing a fish face and try to smile while doing that. It has really made a huge difference and my laugh lines are looking like my 14 year old’s laugh lines.
@@laurenkeim5031how? tutorial please😘🙏🏼
I can't believe my luck - we have ladies in their 60s making RUclips videos sharing invaluable advice with us whilst we're just sitting around laying in bed comparing botox treatments and figuring out what we want... I am considering gummy smile botox and I remember 10 years ago these sort of videos wouldn't exist... at least not honest reviews from very experienced users who always did the right thing and want to be generous and share with the whole world so that the world is a better place and girls don't have to waste their money getting upsold... So grateful for these insightful videos and immediately subscribed, what a great role model and definitely someone I look up to and can go to to navigate aging process...
I am 32 and I get light Botox here and there. I get crows feet and lip lift. The changes are subtle and maintains my youth. Working, cooking, cleaning and taking care of kids /husband is not easy. So anything that keeps me looking softer is a plus!
I'm 32 and just started Botox! Not married and no kids, but my particular line of work is extremely stressful (I'm admittedly one of those "married to the job" types haha). So far I like it, and I also started out with light injections. If you see this, how often do you get yours?
Lol the obsession with youth, the insecurity
Maybe your husband should start taking care of the house as well...
@@Beeeee-x3klol the need to comment things like this the insecurity 😂
Whatever people ! Each to his own. Why not cover up signs of aging that we can. Learn teach yourself go to classes Drs have right here on RUclips. Smoker lines are not from smoking lol! Why then do men not get smoker lines 😳Right its now called a barcode .You can do acid peels and micro needling and put healthy peptides and serums that cause collagen production and elasticity. Please do it yourself it’s nvery rewarding . And you control everything.
Been doing botox since turning 34 or 35 to prevent a forehead line that was starting. I'm 52 now and now forehead lines, no crow's feet, or lines between my brows to make me look angry or sad. And I'm very pleased with results. It isn't for everyone. Suits me fine.
Same with me- 49 and it has helped a lot! I tell anyone who cares - Botox has worked well for me- I would never personally do fillers
Tretinoin is also an option. Doesnt deposit in the brain.
Pictures or it didn't happen.
@@Maderlololohio it doesnt work like Botox. Tretinoine is good on slight surface . But it's not for expressions lines it won't do anything on that.

Aww…thank you for such a lovely comment. And welcome!! I’m super happy to have you here ❤️
I echo that same thought! New subscriber with me too. Thanks for a great, honest, realistic video.
I finally had my first Botox last month in my “11’s”. Not only did it help,it took away my almost nightly headaches. I will continue with Botox. And I’m 69!
If you already have the "11" wrinkles, does botox take them away?
I had it recently too and have only had 1 headache since. I used to have 3-4 a week!
You guys are what keeps these plastic guys driving their Mercedes. They thank you !
how many units in your 11s?
Oh yes, I just enjoy the relaxation so so much ❤

I am 62 years old and have been getting Botox for over 30 years and I truly feel it’s helped me look younger than I am. With that being said, I’ve never treated my marionette lines, but after watching your video, I will. You look amazing! Thank you fir sharing.
At 42, I sometimes feel that I don’t look the way I do in my memory of myself, if that makes sense. It is so hopeful to hear you talk about your growing acceptance of being and looking older. I never feel like oh that person looks older so they look bad, but I struggle to not see aging in my own appearance as a negative thing. Anyway, you are both lovely and have a lovely presence! I’m glad to have found your channel!
When people don’t recognize me, that’s when I feel aging as a negativity in my appearance. Sometimes former classmates are only interested in how old someone looks instead of being concerned how people are doing health wise. 🍭
Im 29 and im dreading 30. I’m not ready for it. I’m just thinking I’ll be in your position in 13 years…how strange must it be to look in the mirror and see your face changing so drastically. I dread the day I look in the mirror and see that first wrinkle 😔
ye23 It happens fast! Use sunscreen and retin-a now;)
@@ye23. I'm 25 and feel the same way.

I’m also scared to get it, I’m in my 30s and I try to take a more natural approach for my skin for now.
This is a masterclass in aging gracefully. Definitely saving this for future reference.
Aging gracefully is in the mind, not on the face.....What ever makes you happy is the key ! it is a very personal choice.
I’m 40 and seeing you gives me hope lol. You don’t ever see more aging voices walk about this. So many super young people doing it so early. You look fantastic.
I started Botox for the 11’s at 45, now at 48 I find I need it less often. I researched this, and found that relaxing the muscles actually “trains” the muscles to not be used, so that lessens the amount you need. Additionally, as the muscles are not used, they naturally atrophy and shrink, so ideally, folks should do as you are, and use less over time. I think you look amazing and I appreciate the tips! I agree that crows feet generally don’t need Botox. My provider did it one time to use up the extra product but I didn’t see the benefit and agree that it’s not necessary.
Thanks for your honesty. I'm 68 and have not tried fillers or injections. I've accepted the aging. Not that I'm satisfied with it, but just try to be thankful. You look great.
🥰
Wow. I just started 6 years ago! I am very happy with it. My makeup doesn't sink into the laugh lines anymore. And I don't look worn out - which I'm not. Thank you!
Im 29 and really appreciate this video. I am already feeling nervous about aging and this video made me feel so much better. I have been interested in botox but my friends are very anti-botox and want to embrace aging. But this video made me feel much better about the decision being mine, and it doesnt mean I have low self-worth or dont appreciate my body/natural aging just because I want to try botox.
I am also 29 and have always been against botox but the last few years I've been considering it. I had a poor diet choice for many years and ended up anorexic. It severely aged my face. Not all aging is natural these days, I hate when people make out like we're insecure for not wanting to look aged. I aged very quickly in the face due to the health problems I had and deeply regret my choices. It would be nice to have a bit more confidence back as I don't feel myself. I used to have quite wide eyes and loved eye shadow, due to the health issues I had my eyes are very sunken now and I can't really wear eye shadows.
it's funny because many people who are loud about being against Botox, have no problem with wrinkle creams... I'd rather spend a little money on Botox than throw away hundreds on wrinkle creams that don't work. and for what it's worth, I only get my Botox once a year. I started at 29 and I'm actually getting less now as gravity changes my face.
You're already done. Hope you enjoyed it.
You should get baby botox instead you still very young :)
Nobody seems to talk about or understand that Botox does not actually stay localised as they tell you. It spreads into the central nervous system (research by Queensland university) and as it’s a deadly neurotoxin, it is highly dangerous. So many people are getting sick and have issues but don’t realise it’s from the Botox! Often it’s not the first injection that causes an issue, sometimes it takes years until you start noticing health issues or neurological problems or fatigue etc.
People also don’t understand that Botox actually destroys your major neurotransmitter called Acetylcholine which is responsible for almost everything in your body, but is the main neurotransmitter for the brain and when there is a lack of it, this is associated with Dementia.
There are going to be millions more causes of early onset Dementia and health problems because of how many people are using Botox without knowing the consequences.
You will not easily find this info on Google because big pharma suppress it as Botox is the number one money spinner for them and they actually boast about this is speeches.
I’m not sharing this to scare anyone, I just think we as consumers should be correctly informed before making these decisions.
There’s a Facebook group for Botox side effects if anyone wants some accurate information
my granny was heavily wrinkled since I could remember. she was a heavy smoker and passed in her 80s. i loved her wrinkles because it looked real and with everyone she was still beautiful to me
Botox makes look better only, but not younger. Age is not about wrinkles.
Age is about :
- sound and vibration of the voice
- the speed of reactions
- the energy in the eyes
- vocabulary
- mood
- level of sense of humor
- the way of walk and sit
etc.
Ha...ha.......what you describe is life , no mention of the face......as it is just the paint on the front door.
👏👏
Sushmita: re- Age is about... totally agree with you on all those points - posture, voice control and speaking with a smile in your voice adds to the aura of how you carry yourself, hence botox puts the "cherry on top" ❣
So how old you think I am
No sea mamoooon
This what I call aging gracefully. Tamara I am the same. I have started at 52 and I am sooo glad. I do not regret! My MD make sure that the results look natural all the time. It's beautiful! Congrats!
Hi Claire. I was the same. It is such a boost. No regrets for me either.
@@beyond50skin it's such a pleasure to speak with all these gracious ladies! ;)
I started at 22! Aha but I had forehead lines you’d normally see on women in their 40s
I’ve always had a good experience! The only annoying part for me is when it’s setting in 7-10days later I get a bad headache and pressure for a day or two then it’s all good!
@@shan22777 that’s very interesting about the headache side effects. Glad it doesn’t last💜
Botox is not growing old gracefully.
I’m 31 and had my first Botox treatment about a year ago. Prior to my this I had always thought people looked their best when they didn’t try to iron out every fine line - subtle, graceful tweaks had the best results. But once I had my first treatment, it was so easy to see how people become more critical of themselves and want to erase all signs of ageing- the results were almost addictive! Your video has reset my mindset to my original goal- to look my age yet refreshed and glowing as you are the absolute poster girl for this! Beautiful results and excellent mentality towards ageing and still feeling and looking wonderful.
Looking refreshed is nice but "feeling" in not related to Botox. You have to see your shrink for that.
Why in the WORLD would anyone get botox at 30 (THIRTY!) years old?! It's beyond me. Absolute madness.
@@LittleMissHoop exactly. I’m almost 32 and promised myself I won’t touch Botox until 40. Even then maybe I’ll be happy and confident with my face after diligently using retinol and sunscreen 🤷🏻♀️ everyone I know seems so addicted to obliterating their wrinkles. Seems really emotionally unhealthy.
@@LittleMissHoop you have no idea what her appearance is like or her lifestyle. Not every 30 year old is wrinkle free. I held off til I was 35 but I have the crows feet of a 50 year old. So it’s not madness. Everyone has a different starting point!
@@LittleMissHoopI had quite deep wrinkles in my 20s so I started at 28. Still have lines… and movement.. but I’m so happy I did.. cause they would have been so bad now if I didn’t
I know for me, I want to be natural and not alter what aging is. My 4 granddaughters and daughters need to see that I’m happy getting older. Thanks for the video.
I totally agree..
Amén 😉💖
Same for me . No injections . No Botox.
Yes, it’s a choice. Only they know why and I don’t mean to shame anyone. I assume everyone is natural just because of where I live and my friends at my age, 67, aren’t having it. It’s upsetting to see them talk about skincare and makeup and ways we care for ourselves and then I compare and then find out Botox, fillers, facelift has been done, and it’s a let down because of course it’s not the same in our journey to look our best naturally.
@@josalmon4742 I totally understand that :)
I am going to my first appointment today. I am 69. I have watched your very helpful sharing of your experiences. So, I messaged my lady who is also careful and professional in that there is no upsell. I told her I had a relaxed muscle in my left eye and she will be taking this into account. I had not considered it before I watched your video. So, thankyou ❤
I have gotten Botox since age 62 (I'm 77 now), but 1-1/2 years ago switched to Dysport on the suggestion of my PA when the price of Botox kept going up and up. I like Dysport as it's a little less expensive, kicks in within 1-2 days and lasts just as long if not longer. These treatments make me happy. I get it on my forehead, the 11's between my eyebrows, and crows feet. When I notice the Dysport wearing off, it's most noticeable on my forehead, where I've always had very deep lines have decided to live with my crows feet 😊and skip the Dysport next time!
It is so important to use a PROFESSIONAL for these treatments. I receive my Botox and fillers from a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in the face, head and neck. This is all that he does. I could not imagine anyone else working on my face. He is an artist!
Who do you use and where do you live?
I've done minimal Botox on a regular basis.I always make sure it's kept looking natural and looking like me.
You know it's been done right when someone randomly says " I don't what you are doing but you look good and refreshed" .
Great video. I started around 35 around 17 years ago for the 11s. I love the way it looks and just as importantly how it FEELS. I don’t carry as much tension in my face anymore and FEEL so much more relaxed.
What are the 11s?
@@Sylk505 the two lines/wrinkles that form between eyebrows in some of us. I didn’t know what they were until I recently got them. 😂
@cherryhoneyricola same! I did start using frownies which help a lot since I cannot afford Botox at this time.
@@IntentionallyBethany I've only got 1 and I'm 24. I'll be getting Botox soon.
I started my Botox journey 7 years ago when I was 35. I normally get it on the sides of my eyes and around my forehead. I get the treatment every 4-6 months. Because of it, I look naturally younger than my actual age of 42, and nobody can tell I get Botox. I don’t think I want to live without it. 😊
Why so often ? If muscles are not used to contract anymore, isn't once a year enough ?
@@the.blue.raven7777 depends on how much u get
How old do I look
I bet they can tell 😂 that is way too young to be getting it round your eyes!
Wow Tamara, you look lovely! I honestly thought you were 10 years younger. I just turned 30 and I plan on getting Botox and other procedures within the next 5 to 10 years. I am always told not to do it, but to be honest I have been working since I was 16, so I have saved up more than enough to do somethings that I want to do. Thanks you also for your work at an RN, we really appreciate your hard work!
I am 38 , I done forehead botox 7 months ago for the first time, and I am soooo happy I did it. it gave me lots of self confidence. I was unhappy every day watching wrinkles grow on my forehead, but then they were gone, so I felt happier every day. I will continue to do that but maybe only once a year for now.
Same age. Same thing. No regret. I had started 4 years ago and never regretted a single second. Every 7-8 month and tadaaaaaa. A refreshing process never hurts.
I have had botox in my 11’s and to raise my eyebrows a bit for years and it has made a huge difference. I used to have deep 11’s and even when I don’t get it done on a regular basis it still looks much better then before I started.
My daughter had the same thing happen to her. She went to someone different because they were offering a great deal and it ended up costing her more. They told her she needed a lot more then she normally would get. It’s just a gimmick to get you in there.
You look very relaxed and natural!
Thank you, Tamara. I am 62 and spent about 5 years doing Botox and fillers in my 50’s. As I let those fade away I decided to allow my face to do its thing and use that money to buy fashionable clothes. I get so many compliments on my outfits than I ever did on my facial treatments. However, I do use surgical tape on my 11’s at night and that keeps them softened.
REFLEXOLOGY!! IT'S MY NEW BEST FRIEND 🥰✨💞
I use kinesiology tape on my forehead, thinking to get one of those silicone thingy from Sio Beauty after seeing it on Dr Dray RUclips channel.
Wow I love how your view of aging is so realistic and synergetic with the natural aging process.
I'm a 61y.o man and I look much younger than my age but I think *in part* it's genetics.
I tried botox 18 months ago and a few years prior to that and look it's fine but I wouldn't do it more frequently than that.
I find daily exercise (I love calisthenics) is the only real key to staying young both physically and aesthetically.
I think you look good and as you say, it's not about more and more botox and filler it's about feeling comfortable with the fact you're getting older and thats just part of this wonderful life. 😀 Take care, Mark
I really love the fact tht u respect others' decision n the fact tht having botox is one's choice❤️❤️♥️
This was a wonderfully truthful and honest informative video on Botox. Thank you so very much
I don’t care what the people who disagree with botox say. I don’t even know why they would bother to comment about disagreeing with it. I cannot wait to start botox. I want to get a little bit of filler, too. I love looking youthful for my age and I always want to look that way. You look amazing!!
Mmm idk about filler because we now know that it doesn’t dissolve on its own, but instead can migrate throughout the face and give you an overall rounded, puffy appearance. Botox or Dysport seem relatively safe though.
@@gummy5862 agreed. Botox & fillers faulsly get put into one category, but they are not at all same. Try out Botox, no problem. But filler, be very careful AND FO YOUR RESEARCH! until this day most injectors won't tell you the long term truth about fillers. But it's coming to light more and more, what we have always suspected looking at those swollen celebraty faces. Only remember, they have the means to get the filler damage corrected by the best doctors, we don't. Even desolving the synthetic hyaluronic acid comes with its own risks, like your body's own hyaluron getting desolved along side. It's a very tricky subject with fillers. Botox on the other hand, you can try it out no problem, risks to cause any long term damage are minimal
Unless your face has lost drastic amount of fat, it's better to avoid fillers. Botox and after a centain age a neck lift goes a long way to produce beautiful looks. Eyebrow transplant is another one that really helps if people lose their eyebrows.
@@schafswiese That is incorrect information. Unless you are a doctor, please refrain from disinformation regarding the dissolving of one’s filler. It does not disrupt the body’s natural production of hylauronic acid. Dr. Anil Rajani on RUclips addresses this exact issue at length for those who want a more fulsome discussion and peer reviewed scientific data.
@@София-д3р7д Not exactly accurate. If your face has lost a large amount of weight, no amount of filler is going to help it. The loose skin issue is best tackled with
a facelift.
Fillers are fine. They stimulate collagen production and in the right hands, are subtle and beautiful.
Real Self is a great website resource for information re: every kind of cosmetic procedure, including customer satisfaction ratings of different fillers.
I read in a magazine in 1999 Botox helped headaches. I went immediately and it did not disappoint! I now love Dysport.
37 year old male here. Started getting botox at 32 and it has been tbe best thing I've ever done for myself. I get just enough to look fresh. I regularly get comments that people are surprised by my age and id be lying if i said that didnt feel nice. But most importantly, i feel ok about the dude in the mirror and that has given me a much better quality of life in general. I definitely advocate botox. The only downside is it aint cheap, and i cant always justify the cash every 4-6 months so sometimes get it done less than id like!
Just turned 40 and started my Dysport journey. Thank you for giving me something to look forward to as I age because you are absolutely gorgeous & you looks so natural!
too early, try exercise
It makes me sad reading some of the comments in here. So many of us women are terrified of ageing when we should not be. I also used to dread getting older and it started as early as 8 years old. I was already doing face masks, using my mom’s creams, doing DIY anti-ageing masks. I have always been super self-conscious about getting older. Then around 25, I started relaxing a little. I mean, it‘s a scary phase because you’re getting closer to 30 and then I realised: well, Whats so wrong about turning 30? 30 is still HOT. It’s not old. And I truly believe that 40 is also still hot, as long as you have maintained yourself physically with exercising and have lived a healthy lifestyle.
I realised that this fear of turning 30 mostly came from hearing random (and stupid) men saying that women hit the wall at 30. That we are not desirable from then on. That we are grandmas at that age. Then I paused and looked around me and realised that most of the women from my entourage in their 30s don’t look any different than my 25 year old friends. I realized that the 30 year old women I know still get hit on by both younger and older men. That they are still completely functional and that nothing have changed.
Sure, our biological clock is ticking but except from that, most women in their 30s don’t look much different than women in their 20s. At least not where I am from.
I am lucky to have pretty good genes that make me look younger than I am. However, I am more than my age and my physical appearance.
If we fear ageing, we prove those misogynistic men right. It starts with us. Let’s not be scared of ageing. Let’s not believe in those lies meant to control us saying we age faster and worse than men. It’s not true. We age normally and we should not be embarrassed.
Lots of men start going bald at 28 and gaining a beer belly at 32 so they should look in the mirror first.
Bottom line is: live a healthy life, stay active, take care of your skin from a young age and give the middle finger to anyone who shames you for not being 21 anymore.
Preach it sista!! :) I just turned 30 a couple months ago.. And most people think I'm 25 or younger. As long as you nurture your inner child, the outside will more than likely reflect that ^_^ Of course, as you said, it's wise to honor one's beauty with wholesome, quality food and a balanced health routine. Korean skincare products are also a good idea! :D
Yeah, preach on girlfriend!!!!!! I needed to hear that. Thx 😊
This is beautiful! Yes sista! 🥰
Two words. Kate beckinsale.
Love this post. Thank you. 44 here and going strong.
You look absolutely beautiful! I'm 45 and on this journey and starting to question my botox. I love erasing the cranky signs of ageing but I think I'm coming to a point of also seeing I just want to embrace my ageing.
Such an honest statement! Same here 🥂
I’ve been getting botox/dysport/xeomin for 8 years now and LOVE it. I go every 4-6 months and my next appt. is in a few weeks. Watching your video has encouraged me to cut back a bit and see how it goes. My main concern also are the 11’s, brows and marionettes. I have always had positive results (and no one can believe I am over 61 😊 Thank you for sharing your journey. You look beautiful!! 🤍🤍
WOW you really do look so stunning!!!! You have done botox so tastefully! I am 36 now and just had my first round of botox and fillers this past Monday. I am so happy with how my results are turning out!! I would love to look graceful like you at 60!
You are absolutely stunning 🤩
I’m 37, and I’m using Botox since November and I love it. And as you say, I told my injector: “I want to age gracefully, I don’t want to look weird”. Thank you for sharing your experience, I had doubts about Botox in the long run, but you answered so many questions already ❤️
This video was so informative and I love what you stand for. I love how you use botox to enhance your natural beauty . You are radiating and I love that you're embracing you're "happy" lines and that you're finding beauty in all stages of your life. I love this video!
It’s so nice seeing people older than me on youtube. I want to learn so much from you guys! I am 38 and I hope to start maintenance of fine lines in my 40’s. You look super lovely and I hope I age as well as you even if it takes a little help. (:
Hope your day is going well over there? Thank you on your continuous prayer and support to me throughout my movies career once again thank you. Where are you reaching out from?
I started my botox journey 4 years ago and I absolutely love it. I'll be 38 in December and I'm so glad I started when I did 💜
I will be 55 next month and I have been doing botox for probably 15 yrs love it & I don't intend to stop. I get compliments by people, but I do it for myself...it is amazing how good I feel afterwards! Love watching your videos.
Loved watching this! I'm 29 and not interested in getting Botox, but I have noticed that my right eye is becoming much more hooded than the left. It is making me self conscious, and it is good to know that if it becomes more dramatically asymmetrical as I age, I have nonsurgical options to boost my confidence. It's so important to feel good about how you present yourself to the world! I thought Botox was just for wrinkles, migraines and excessive sweat lol I'm glad to have learned something new :)
Hi Amanda, do you wear contact lenses on daily basis? My friend is 33 years old and one of her eye lids started to be droopy to the point of people noticing it and pointing it out. She went to an eye doctor and now she had to do a surgery for that eye droopiness because it obstructed her vision. The eye doctor told her that it is because of contact lenses which actually happens to some people wearing them for many years. My friend did a lasik surgery because the doctor said that if she has a surgery she would have to wear glasses or the eye droopiness would come back. Her surgery is scheduled for November, but me and some of her friends already noticed that her eye lid somehow does not seem as droopy as before after the lasik surgery.
This video has been quite insightful to me. I am actually 2 years older than you, and started with fillers and Botox in my early 50’s. At that point, I was using Botox as a preventive measure. My Botox journey mirrored yours, with the exception of crows feet and my neck. I have never had my neck done, but had far more units that you, in my forehead. Using a few units in my chin area, gave tremendous results. I did it as long as I could afford it, but continued religiously with fillers. Now, like you said, it seems harder and harder to keep up, as my skin continues to lose elasticity. What I deemed as a bit ‘extra’, now seems necessary. This month I am adding Botox back into my maintenance routine. I admit to liking a more ‘plastic’ look, for lack of a better word. I do not want to see fine lines on my forehead and detest marionette lines. I get mine filled annually. Thank you for giving me basic guidelines and expectations. 💙
Do you get your marionette lines filled only with Botox? I do NOT want to use any other filles but would definitely try botox for them. I have used nothing to this day at 62, but noticed some marionette coming in.... Thank you.
You look amazing! I just turned 28 yesterday and I am starting to see little age lines on my smile and forehead. I plan on keeping it as natural as possible with sunscreen serums and facials well at least until I’m a bit older but I have been curious about Botox. I don’t plan on using any until my late 30s early 40s and this video totally confirmed my decision to wait until I am a bit older. Thank you you are gorg!
Happy Birthday! 🎂❤️🎂
Thankyou- great info!! I am about to turn 35 and was seriously thinking about getting my first botox, but hearing your starting age made me want to hold off a bit and just flow with my process. I know I want to do it one day- but this, unlike some other "influencer" videos, actually made me feel not so frantic and rushed. You look FABULOUS! I can only hope to age as beautifully, wisely, and gracefully as you
I started my Botox journey about 9 months ago now at 41. I’m glad I waited because when I look back in my mid 30’s I really didn’t have any lines, 30s is still young and you don’t know how your face is going to age until it starts aging and showing. I love the Botox I’ve had so far, I waited until the lines in my face started showing more and bothering me. Now my face looks exactly the same but without the lines. It’s given me so much confidence, I don’t mind going without make up now and a gf said to me at brunch the other day ‘you look so young’ and I didn’t have a stich of make up on. Anyway I was glad I waited until I felt ready. I’ll probably keep getting it now every 5/6 months. (I get around 35-40 units depending).
I’m with you. I don’t mind smile lines. You look great!
Many of you have asked how to find the description box where I list lots of information and product links. Here is a video that gives a great explanation of how to find the description box both on a cell phone or tablet as well as a laptop or desktop computer. Hope this helps! ruclips.net/video/mRcbXjQze7A/видео.html
I love your honesty Tamara, so refreshing.
I'm so glad you mentioned the under eye "shelf" that occurs when getting Botox near the eye area. I also had this experience and it made me appreciate my more natural look instead. There's something to be said about smiling with our eyes! ✨☺️
same here, my eye bags showed after I did Botox on my eye area to ease the smile lines, it makes me look older and wired. I stopped doing Botox ever since , I love smiling so be it
I love hearing about your long term journey and what works and also the path to acceptance!
You are very encouraging and I appreciate it..
I’ve never been interested in having Botox, but my daughters have started with that so I’m interested particularly how your Botox journey progressed. They are in their 40s, and it just hasn’t been clear to me why they would want to start with Botox already. Thanks for this frank discussion!
I’m in my 40s & started botox at 41. I had wrinkles between my eyes that made me look angry. Very happy with results.
I had my first Botox session at 25 🤣
You look great ! It is refreshing to see videos of women over 50, 60 and even older taking care of themselves, physically, emotionally and mentally. I am looking into the possibility of having Botox injections in the near future. To our health and good looks ladies, whether you decide Botox or not!! Let's give to the world but most important to ourselves the best version of who we are.
Totally what I was looking for, the minimal approach and also seeing how after many years of use Botox has prevented entrenched lines. I am 30 and about to get my first Botox. Planning to get it once-twice per year. If I look anywhere near as youthful as you at 60+ I’d be delighted. I’m not bothered about maturing I just want to look good whilst doing it. You are definitely not just 10 years younger but a happy good looking 10 years younger.
What a great video, very refreshing to hear this. I recently got my first botox done and I'm 42 years old. I got the crows feet done and I love the result. I feel more confident and happy.☺️ Thank you for sharing your experience. ❤️
I’m 45 and look much younger. Started dysport at 42. I also have done under eye filler twice. Tbh it’s a game changer. I look so rested and youthful and I turned my twin sister onto dysport. I’ve only had undereye or “tear trough”
Filler twice. It last a year and a half for me and I get dysport every 4-5 months. It works way better than all the Lotions and potions out there and in the end you save money. People think I’m early 30s tops. It really is a game changer and worth it. I’m also talking as a person who had only one static line on my forehead when I started but it’s gone and it was so tiny. But I know women who are early 30’s who get Botox and that kinda blows my mind. But everyone ages differently and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Having my 11s treated was such a revelation! I had these intense and deep "angry" lines from the age of 20 and by 36 it got to a point where I looked super angry literally all the time, and it definitely has a bad effect on your mood when every reflective surface ""greets" you with a HUGE frown! Now at 39, after 3 years of Botox I only have a faint little wrinkle (on my strong side) where my mega 11s used to be and my brow and forehead areas look more youthful than they did in my late 20s! Thank you for the info about the marionette lines, definitely going to try that next time I have my injections.
I'm in my mid-30s and hearing your journey is also wonderful for me. I've struggled with self acceptance my whole life, so I never paid attention to my beauty and health per say. But as I age, I cherish my healthy and expression of my beauty and would like to maintain it. Either way I'm so impressed by Polly's work and its good to hear that you have accepted more parts of your aging process.
My mum does botox and she used tretinoins for over 25 years. These are the best things I've ever seen to look beautiful with age. I personally don't like facelifts, and looks they produce. I have hopped on Tretinoin train since I was 19, let see where it goes and will try botox when I get to 40s 😄
what products do you use on your face?
what tretinoin products do you use?
Where can these be purchased?
@@katesnyder4107 I used to use tretinoin cream called retirides, when I first started, the ones that are prescribed for acne, I didn't have acne. Later I switched to Elizabeth Arden's retinol, it comes with cermide, bcz ceramides are amazing ingredient to moisturize, it also helps not to have irritation. It comes in individual capsules in a jar, so the ingredients are stable for each new application. I also love the retinol B3 serum from La Roche posay.
@@kyanwise3632 In the morning the caffeine serum and buffet (peptide) serum, both from the ordinary. In the evening Niacinamide from the ordinary. At night Retinol from Elizabeth Arden.
I'm 40 and have been doing Botox for 10 years. My dermatologist at the time said it is a great preventive measure to not allow permanent wrinkle to form (for which Botox no longer works and a filler is required). Well, my dermatologist was right because 10 years on and I don't have any fine lines except the expression ones (dynamic) which only show temporarily when my Botox wears off. I absolutely love this treatment and wouldn't go without it!
I just had my 1st treatment. In forehead…
I’m 55 and love your content! I am bothered by my marionette lines. Thx - you are a gorgeous lady!
I am now entering into my fifties and began to think about doing fillers for my face so this video came right at the right time! This was a great and informative video! Well done miss Tamara 😉
Wow, you are beautiful and very wise about loving ourselves throughout the decades. Thank you for sharing your story :)
🥰
Hope your day is going well over there? Thank you on your continuous prayer and support to me throughout my movies career once again thank you. Where are you reaching out from?
You are so beautiful, you look so natural and glowy :)
Thank you so much! ❤️
I agree. It looks very natural.
Natural....😄
Years? 80??
True! 💯
So happy to have stumbled upon you and loved this video and your transparency with your Botox journey. I’m 55 and last week had my first ever filler experience. I just had 1ml, 1/2 in my lips and the other half in my Marriott lines which are all I focus on when I look at myself now. Very subtle change and now I have a slight upturn in the corners of my mouth, much like yours instead of a grumpy old lady expression. My injector did suggest Botox in my Marriott lines to relax the muscles and also above the arches of my brows. So I’ll be squirrelling away what I can to get that done next. I also intend to leave my forehead and crows feet as they are. It’s just my jowls and Marriott lines that I’m unhappy with. Thank you again ❤
That’s exactly what I get. Half a mil in lips and the rest in marionettes. It’s enough for me at 53. I don’t want to look like a puffer fish.
This is amazing! You are everything I aspire to be in the way you look at yourself at 61. I am 45 and started Botox early this year for the same reasons you started, I love it and love how I feel with it.
You are STUNNING!!! I am elated that you knew you deserved to be treated and feel comfy in your skin. Thank you for the delightfully informative video; it's always so cool to see someone "on the other side" of where a lot of people are starting off.
🥰
I love that you mentioned how botox isn't a cure-all for other skin issues that come with age. I'm 33 and not really interest in botox currently, but adding a few great products to my skincare routine has really refreshed my appearance and made me feel more youthful again (especially with 4 kids and a demanding job)!
I'm 29 y/o and I get botox every six months aswell and will continue to do so. I carry alot of tension around my eyebrows and forehead. if you get headaches alot I recommend trying botox! it helps take tension away from my eyebrows and eye area. and I love it helped with my forehead lines too!
Also remember that with 16 years of treatment, you have significant atrophy of the treated muscles. This is predictable. I often use the analogy of putting your arm in a cast for three to four months. It will be scrawny when the cast comes off until you exercise it again. After 20+ year of neuromodulators, my glabella is down to about 10-15 units twice a year and in my 40's it used to take the 25-30 units to knock it out every three months. You are fortunate to have found the right injector who will make the appropriate adjustments in your dose. Reassessment is key in keeping natural results. At 66, I do not look 20, but I am the best version of my happy, nurse injector, grandma self. Thank you for your informational video.
You look naturally so beautiful!! I like that Botox is "minor" and preserves people's features while also delays or prevents the deep onset of wrinkles. It worked so well for you and your expressions still come through just fine.
I’m 58 and I get Botox for crow’s feet, elevens, marionette lines and lip flip. It’s all subtle and simply keeps me looking a little refreshed as opposed to the tired look I have without it. I still look my age. I’ve had fillers in the past which are amazing, but the cost is prohibitive.
Thank you for sharing. What fillers do you recommend?
Yeah the cost is no joke. I’m 37, started at 34 and I keep it really minimal, a light amount of Botox every 3 months (~$2400 a year), I’ve gotten filler twice ($1000 each time, wouldn’t do that again as there are better options now) and Sculptra once ($3000). I’m a working class person, if I saved that money instead it would be a life-changing amount by time I’m 50. But I just can’t stand watching my face deteriorate before my eyes, I’d get even more done if I could afford it, particularly threads

I've started a routine with the best ingredients for day and night and also make up tutorials for mature skin, I'm 56, and I could see a difference within days!! Very happy. I may try Botox someday but I am also Leary.
This is exactly what I am considering at 59. Yikes. Thanks for your post.
I’m 35 and have “11s” along with tension headaches in that area and it’s interesting to learn that Botox might help ease the look and the pain too. I like how you work on anti-aging but keep your natural gray. You look great! Thanks for the informative video.
I like that’s she’s kept her grey too. I think how we choose to handle our aging is such a personal choice. Some people don’t do a thing while others go all out. I’m 52 and just got my first injection of Botox in my 11’s today. I didn’t tell a soul because I didn’t want to be talked out of it like has happened in the past. I’m really happy with how it went, although the effects can’t be seen yet.
Very informative! I’m 37 and started botox 2 years ago. Because, like you, I started to notice signs of aging and feeling like I looked tired Or haggard. Obviously we can’t stop the process but I’m just trying to age gracefully and to see you and hear your process I really feel like I’m going in the right direction. I can only hope I look as great as you do at 61!!
Such an informative and pleasant video! I love that you don’t do anything by your eyes-it keeps the look of a smile looking natural. Will make sure I follow that guideline. I’m 48 and will get my first treatment next week. Your video gives me great hope! You are absolutely radiant and look natural. Maybe we only notice women who have bad work done and never guess that others do have Botox because it is done well. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you so much. I’m 70, never used Botox, now considering it. I value finding you. 🌹
Good Morning, Tamara! Very interesting video, I have never thought much of Botox before I have always associated Botox with "big lips" or something negative. I really enjoyed your hearing about the relationship you have with your doctor and why you chose to do Botox - I have a "softer" view of it now :) Have a wonderful week, and I look forward to next Sunday as always :) When I was in the hospital - I would have loved to have you as my nurse (your eyes and voice are so comforting) - as I had a very traumatic accident (March 2019 - I fractured my femur in 3 different places, I still can't walk without a walker (long story, but I still need another surgery). Thank you again, Tamara - I appreciate the time it takes to keep up your channel and make content relevant to all different viewers.
Hope your day is going well over there? Thank you on your continuous prayer and support to me throughout my movies career once again thank you. Where are you reaching out from?
You're probably thinking of filler in the lips, not botox 🙂
Your cheeks and nasolabial are looking very youthful, smooth and lifted. That's my main concern area for some reason if I smile the eyes don't crease as much only the laugh lines since my cheek are not as strong. The way I see it the nasolabial deep folds and 11 lines are the main two that make a person appear upset and you lack both of them!
Maybe threads?
stop making such a big issue out a natural process like aging!
You’re gorgeous in all three photos in the thumbnail of the video. I hope to look as good as you as I age. I’m not doing Botox yet (43), my friends are and they’re starting to look aged by it if that’s possible. They look a bit scary! It’s putting me off far too much in their foreheads and their eyebrows are weird and it’s making their eyes look strange in the inner corners. It looks way false!
I think Tamara's video is helping to show that Botox doesn't have to be so extreme, if you stay sensible. You can use it rationally and stay natural. Stay realistic with your expectations, don't let them up-sell you, do your research to find a good & ethical injector and it will be fine
If it’s done sparingly it looks great.
However, it takes a while to “settle in“ and does look a bit unnatural for the first month or so - which probably isn’t worth it for a lot of people considering you need to do it several times a year.
Personally, I really like it. But the first month does kind of suck…
I started at 29 and I’ve been having it for 10 years. Your skin looks flawless yet natural ✨
You are a very wise woman and I appreciate your views on ageing gracefully. Like you, I have had Botox since my mid-40s and it has helped slow down the formation of wrinkles between my brows. I see that my face is changing and I have come to accept that my marionette lines and jawline will need some work in the future if I can afford it. My skin is getting thinner and creases appear more quickly. I am now nearly 57 years old and I want to age gracefully but without looking angry or sad all the time when my expression is relaxed. I need to find a provider who listens to what I want rather than pushing me to do what they want and at a cost I cannot afford. Thank you for your video. I don't feel alone in this. None of my friends do Botox so it is much appreciated. I feel validated and less ashamed of wanting to slow down the ageing process.
I've never had botox or fillers at almost 48 I just started using the nuface and boy does it make a difference. My face is so much tighter in just a few weeks. You look great, thanks to not overdoing it and your eyes are very cute like a bambi. The eyes are always the most important imo
What is nuface

Gorgeous! I notice everything and your neck and jawline, eyes, everything is so firm and smooth!
I’m stunned of how this looks natural ! You changed my opinion on Botox ❤😮
This was so helpful for someone like me getting to the age where I’m just starting to notice my first signs of aging and am consider botox! I’ve seen some older people look very strange and unnatural over getting bad work done over the years. So nice to see an example and get advice on how one might use botox to age gracefully without looking strange over time! I would not have guessed you had anything done. I guess that’s the importance of finding a good injector and not over-doing it. Great advice overall, thank you for sharing!
