Penn, so if EMS wears of botox faster (in your test) then we should conclude that micro current does the SAME! My plastic surgeon really recommended to stay away from micro current while botox is still active anywhere on my face! Thoughts ?
Penny, please make a separate video of how you keep your upper eyelids tight and prevent them from dropping.🙏🙏🙏I'm sure a lot will be interested to know what you do specifically for that area
I love getting my Botox, I’m booked in on the 17th to have my twice yearly dose of it, Yes, I get 6 months out of my Botox and at least 2 years with any Filler I have done, it’s just the type of skin I have, actually I’m over due this time round with having my Botox because of my skincare I’ve been using over the past months, I’ve noticed that I haven’t needed it until now, I’m really looking forward to having it done again, there’s nothing really on the market that will give you the same results as Botox, I’m going to have a little put into the corners of my mouth this time round also because I’ve noticed since I’m ageing @60++ that my mouth is getting a little droopy and I can’t be having that, I don’t care what people think about me having Botox, if I can keep my face looking younger and more lifted then I’ll continue to have it done, I always do it for Me and it makes Me feel better about myself, I’ve got a great injector that I’ve been going to for years and she knows my face as much as I do, always do your research on injectors because there’s some really bad ones out there. Happy Holidays Penne and your family and a Very Prosperous New Year filled with Love, Kindness, Peace and Happiness. Best Wishes from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🎄🎄🎅🏻🤶🏻❤️❤️….and Thank You for not being one of those that are against having Botox 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 and being Honest about having it done yourself, So many on here claim that they have had No Botox but if you’ve had it done yourself, You can tell whether they’ve had it done or not. No One in their 50’s have an absolute wrinkle free face with absolutely no lines around their eyes and forehead. 🤔🤔❤️❤️❤️
Gosh Penny, thank you for this video. I was freaking out that my botox did not last 5 months. I did not realize it should only for 3-4.🙄 Fun fact: since I started using products (retinol, HA, Vitamin C, Kiwi oil, dermaroller) you mentioned, my skin looks superb🥰 thanks to You.
That’s interesting about the zinc supplements because I noticed that my botox lasted longer this year! I thought my injector had some sort of magic (she is amazing). However, I recently started taking zinc supplements! And what’s crazy is that my old injector put way more botox compared to my new one, so I know it’s not just in my head that the results are lasting longer! I noticed an extra month or two, and who wouldn’t love that? It’s amazing to hear how great zinc is for our immune system AND wrinkles. Thank you for continuing to educate us with your knowledge 😇❤️
Wow! Thanks for the zinc/botox information. I'm researching the zinc/botox connection and it's nothing new. Can't believe I'm finding articles dating back to 2012!
Wow, my head is spinning with all this info! Thank you and also for linking the products you mentioned ❤. My hesitancy with Botox has always been how temporary it is. Your suggestions on making it last are so appreciated.
I started having 3 point glabella done in March. Could not be happier with the results. It doesn’t stop all movements but it stops my subconscious scrunching I’ve always done. I no longer look mad all the time either. When my husband starts asking why I’m always looking mad is a good indicator I need a touch up.
Thank you Penny... you are amazing. I had experience in my life with botox and never again... there is a digralization and atrophy of not only muscles, but also nearby tissues ...
QUESTION 🙋🏻♀️- How long did the Botox in your masseter muscles last? How long did the effects last? Have your masseter muscles come back at all and how long did that take? Thank you!
I’ve been extending how manny times I get it throughout the year to 2 times a year, mostly due to the high cost, and I only get on my forehead. Will definitely try the products you suggested. Thank you!
Penny, I have read that some ophthalmologists don't recommend using argireline on the orbital muscles because it can eventually affect one's ability to blink properly. Have you heard of this happening? I love the idea of using argireline in my 11 area between eyebrows, but don't know if I should put it around my eyes. What do you think? Thanks as always for your wonderful research and for sharing it with us lay people. : )
What ever is going on with your skin in this video is so good!! Im obsessed, thank you for this wonderful video as well! Very cool information, yes I'm a little late to the party here but hey better late than never lol. Love you Penn!!!!
I don't do botox but I now know how to use my argiriline more effectively. I will say that I too have seen improvement in my dynamic lines using it daily.
I get Botox regularly and have had filler over the years. At this point now I have about 1/2 a syringe in my lips (this is very new for me-I didn’t used to EVER want filler in my lips. I do it now not for volume but to shape them the way I want). Where it looks like I have a ton of filler (my cheeks) I actually don’t. I just have big cheeks and always have. Just looking at my son’s school pics today and he has my cheeks (he’s 12) and it made me smile 😊 I used to have filler under my eyes but I dissolved it. I do get sculptra injections-that is a bio stimulator that helps grow your own collagen). I do that in my temples (just started that) and the frame of my face. I think that’s it? Oh! I had a TINY bit of restslyn contour put in my malar break (it’s a line in the cheek where the malar pad creases). These are of course all spread out over a long period of time, not all at once. ❤️
Thanks for all your great info! Not sure but I think exercise makes it go away faster. Or anything else that increases metabolism. Just a theory, no idea if it’s true for everyone.
This video was very helpful. I don't like my 11's. I recently just did botox and love the results. I'm going to do my next injection soon. My only issue with botox is that it's costly. I don't think I could pay for four treatments a year. If anything can help botox last longer I'm willing to try it.
Penn thank you i got my botox 2 weeks ago. My speech is funny and i cant seem to have a full smile on my face? So am going to talk to the doctor about this EMS you said in the video. I wont ever have this done again ok thank you for this video.
In the UK they charge you by the area not the units. They don’t even tell you how many units you get. No rewards based programs like Allergan’s Brilliant Distinctions does in the states. It’s more expensive here too.
Thankyou soso much im an aesthetics practitioner and I didn't know this about zinc and Argireline how amazing i will be using myself and advising my clients too ...♥️ I love youre channel huge fan here 💓
I just got a Botox treatment and the thing that was a con is that it only last 2.5 months for me! I will look into the zinc supplements. I thought it was because I have a high metabolism. I do use peptides and argireline. I figure, that it can’t hurt lol. Thanks for another informative video 😊👍
Hi, some injectors dilute down their botox too much....so your results might not last as long. And then you need to go back to them for some more....and more money for them- just saying. Maybe try another injector just to compare how long your botox lasts.
@@mariarobson8116 Good to know. I got another injector this time around and also got Nuceiva (Jeuveau for Americans). I’ll see if I can get more than 3 months from this.
Penny, you shared a procedure you had on your lower face definitely done by a surgeon. I can't find that video. If you see this could you put a link for it here. Tired of searching : ) Oh, I love you!
Love your information..lots there. I’m a Botox fan, but love anything to extend! I wish you would explain how to fit argeriline into your routine.. where does the item go -before or after vitamin c? Retinol? Serum? Very confusing. Do you put product on before or after derm rolling? Complete help is appreciated!! Thanks very!!
Do you think I could use aregireline with high frequency to help it penetrate deeper? Also, I’m not sure if you’ve ever disclosed, but I’d love to hear what you do to get such plump cheeks! Filler, etc. please and thank you 🙏🏻 love all your videos!
Bless you Penny, I am 1 week post botox to my platysmal bands and it feels like I have something sitting on my throat! I don't like this feeling at all! I want the tox gone asap! THANK YOU, I will use my lumo wand that has ems daily and see how that goes.
Thank you! I love Botox normally but this last time they overdid my forehead and I hate how it looks and feels. My brows and forehead feel so heavy and my face looks older and less expressive. Counting down the days until it wears off. Thank you for your tips!!!
hello, thank you so much for your fabulous and educational videos. I love, love, love them. I started doing microneedling, microdemabrasion, quartz roller and gua sha at home (with regular retinol treatment) for the past 4 months and i cant believe the difference it made to my skin- my botox injections results were prolonged from 3 to to 5 months period!!! Amazing! Now, i have a question, how long do i need to wait with all the above mentioned procedures post botox please? also, the quartz roller combined with the gua sha massage have exactly the same effect on my crows feet as the botox injection, it really smoothes them out. Could you elaborate on it? Many thanks!
The Droplette collagen is everything!!!! What are some water based Argeraline products you can recommend? I have a Myolift mini…I can’t use this and have Botox? Myofift is EMS?
Thanks Penny! Love all the info as usual. Along the lines of your hypothesis on EMS, do you think that microcurrent devices could reduce Botox efficacy as well? Since it’s stimulating the muscles, I have wondered if that goes against the paralyzing effect? Thanks again and happy Holidays!
Hi Penny, I'm scared to start botox. I am 29 and wondering if I should start minor botox now to prevent aging? How early do you recommend people to start?
Can you please do a video on whether you feel EMS is truly effective to aid anti aging based on the positive and negatives~ esp if you have Botox and or fillers?
I know this is off topic to your video but I wanted your answer because you seem the most informed. Q: Can I put a Retinoin on top of an oil & still get results or do you have to go through the dry skin? My skin is very dry to start with so I put rose hip oil underneath. Will negate the Tretinoin affects? My skin wasn't dry the next morning but maybe I🤔 negated the Tretinoin? What do you think? Thank you!
Hi! I saw many people mixing their Tretinoin with moisturizer and then applying to the face. I sometimes put the trretinoin first and then add oil on top.
@@oanadamian5850 Thank you, I have tried both those but my face still ends up like the Sahara! So, this time, I put Rose Hip oil & let that soak in 1/2 hour then put .25% on top & my face was soft & smooth in the am but not sure I got benefit! 🤔
I loved botox but I got horrible Systemic spread of it when I got it and got horrible, life altering symptoms. If I can't do botox anymore, is there another alternative? Does anyone know?🥺🥺
Your hair is so gorgeous! Do you still enjoy using the revitalash products? I talked myself out of the lash serum because I heard it causes fat loss below the eyes, but since watching your updated PM routine and seeing your hair here, I think I may need to pull the trigger on both!
Great video 🤩 I have heard that if you are someone that keeps your heart rate elevated with some type of aerobics that your Botox won’t last as long. Is Microcurrent effective if you’ve had botox?
I got botox between my brows for a deep crease. It didn't seem to make any positive effect. I returned and she agreed and added more. Still no effect. Can I be resistant to it? Or is the crease too deep and it takes more time and botox? Or will it simply never lessen at this stage of the wrinkle? Thank you so much for all you do and the education you provide.
Would a higher percentage of Argireline be more beneficial? Lotion Crafter has a wrinkle defense complex that is 55% Argireline and 45% Matrixyl 3000. The smallest amount they sell is 0.25 ounces which if I add it to 30 ml of hyaluronic acid will give a 25% Argireline and 23% Matrixyl 3000 solution. I am assuming I can use this solution when I do cosmetic micro needling. Have been seriously considering Botox. Thanks for the great information as usual.😊
I just received those two products that you have just posted have you ever used them before and how do you dilute them I normally put a couple drops in my moisturizer as I go
@@patmandolla1806 I am getting ready to order it right now. I have never used it before but it’s nice that it can be formulated at a higher percentage and possibly be more effective. That is why I am asking Penny about it. The product I am speaking of from Lotion Crafter is one item that is a mixture of the two peptides. I plan to mix it with hyaluronic acid and it is us simple 3 product serum. Sorry I don’t have an answer for you about how well it works.
Hi Penny! Great video as always! Two questions: One, is argireline safe for sensitive skin? Two, for the Droplet do you know how the collagen was sourced? I'm allergic to shellfish and wish to avoid a bad reaction. Thank you!!
For some reason botox on my forehead, crows feet and elevens always last me 4 months. IDK, maybe it's my diet. I eat a lot of leafy greens and drink a lot of bone broth, not sure, but I have been thinking about getting botox for the TMJ I have on my left side, but I sure wouldn't want a sagging jowl too lol. Have to check that out. Thanks Penny for this info.
Thank you so much! I typically get Dysport 2 or 3xs a year.. I have the 11’s, crows feet and used to have the corners of the mouth done, down those muscles-now my practitioner doesn’t want to do those anymore, because she had a difficult time with getting the sides even enough to have a pleasing enough result that didn’t end up making my mouth look crooked. I was disappointed because I would rather have that done, than fillers in that area, that don’t seem to last long for me, and are exponentially more costly.
Sometimes I’m a touch crooked but I don’t care. My mouth is sort of crooked to start lol Maybe search for another practitioner who will do your DAOs. I agree, filler around the mouth doesn’t last long at all and it’s expensive!
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARESAME- my mouth is definitely crooked and I am so bummed because I just spent $1000 getting the corners filled and honestly, it doesn’t look like anything was done..I’m sooo disappointed and depressed about it.
I love your channel. I live in Washington and would love to come see you. You are amazing. You have helped me so much with my skincare. I’m 39 and just got botox around my small lips to give a lift. My lips feel numb and I don’t like it. Thanks for this info.
You mentioned dermarolling the Argireline in, but since the Asterwood Naturals Triple Repair Matrixyl 3000 has Vitamin C in it, is that not a great idea? Or is it not enough to be a concern?
Hi Penny, is the Vit C + Argirline serum safe to use before/after dermarolling? I was concerned about the addition of the Vit C stinging or irritating my skin after a dermaroll.
I have slight facial paralysis (sort of like Bell's Palsey) on the right side of my face due to a non cancerous brain tumor on the right 7th cranial nerve. I usually only need botox on the left side of my face. concerned of fine little wrinkles under my eyes and under my bottom lip my injector injected a tiny amount superficially (so she said) under both eyes in the fine little wrinkles and under my lip. HUGE mistake! the botox under my right eye has caused me not to be able to move the top corner of my mouth at all where as before it was already paralyzed but had a bit of movement. the botox under my lip has caused the right side of the lip to be stuck up over my teeth, In short I talk like the penquin in batman. I am miserable. hard to pronouce words, I bite the inside of my lip when I eat, etc. I am trying to smile constantly to stimulate the nerve to come back. HELP!!! It is 38 days post injection and I need to get this out of my system ASAP. any suggestions?
I get Botox regularly and I don't want it to be diminished but I am wondering, does using my microcurrent eye mask over the Botox area make the Botox not work? I have noticed since I purchased the Myolift with the eye mask that my botox doesn't last as long.
I love it I'm addicted I have to go back soon. When I first got it I was so scared I thought they messed up my face it was a few days in a my lip sagged I was horrified but it went away the next day I guess it was in the process of infusing but girl I was so scared I called them and was like u messed up my face but after like a week I loved it. Also I did have side affects weekness sick feeling but I think it was worth it.
I got gummy smile botox and i h8 it… my nostrils are different yes but one saggs wayyy more now :( i hope its not permanent and my face muscle will remember how it worked b4 ..
Thank you so much for this information Penny! I’ve been so upset for days! I went to the dermatologist and he said in order for me to look beautiful I need Botox, Fillers and Laser really?? I ran out of his office crying 😭 it was just devastating to hear this! I need help! When would you use the argireline in a routine? After toner or before moisturizer?? Thank you so much and have a wonderful week! Happy Holidays! 🎄❤️💚❤️💚❤️
I think you need a new dermatologist. I am 1000% sure that you do NOT need any of that to be beautiful!! For me argireline is at night right now and it’s only spot treatment. I used to do it in the morning (spot treatment) 3-4 times a week on days I don’t do acids or l-ascorbic acid. Now I do it at night with my serums and just between my brows and outside my eyes. I then go on as usual. 1-2 times a week I will try to add a dermaroller to that area as well. It’s really a matter of remembering 😬. I’m trying to make it a habit ❤️ I’m so sorry you had that experience, no one needs any of this stuff to be beautiful. I’ve had enough interactions with you to confidently say that you ARE beautiful.
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE thank you so much Penny! You are just so sweet! I’m still so upset! I’ve always been so self-conscious and he made it 10 times worse! Not to mention, even if I wanted to have all that work done, I couldn’t afford lol.. So, argireline can not be combined with acids or l-ascorbic acid but can it be used along side copper peptides or retinol? I also use it as a spot treatment too! In between brows, forehead and under eyes! Thanks again and have a wonderful week! And Happy Holidays! 🎄❤️💚❤️💚
One time when I was in my 40's I went to my usual injector for botox and said I think its my crows that bother me the most and told him I didn't think my forehead was that bad. He said something like "oh honey, yes it is". So, of course, I got it there but what the heck?! I'm 55 now and still think my forehead isnt really that bad. Of course it looks better with botox but he really shouldnt have said that. I was clearly ok with how that area looked. Just like everyone else, skin experts are all about their "thing"...A painter is going to notice if a house needs repainting more than the average joe, my optometrist friend notices if someones glasses aren't the right fit or shape for them more than the average joe, etc etc. We have to take these type of comments with a grain of salt....the difference, I think, is that these peoples opinions concern our looks, which we are much more sensitive about. Just something to think about with our skin care journey!
@@amydeckard7305 Thank you so much for your reply Amy! It was so just so upsetting not just the comment itself but the delivery of it! My looks have always been a real big problem for me even from a young age. Being picked on my kids and family members and then still as an adult comment’s always being made makes me very self conscious. I do appreciate what the doctor was trying to say but being rude and snarky about it and saying that was the only way for me to look pretty just devastated me! I truly appreciate your comment and I hope you have a lovely rest of the week 🥰🥰
@@crissyanderson6495 I would be upset too, so sorry that was your experience and what you have dealt with. We are definitely more than our looks!! You too
Hi Penny I see lots of videos on winter skincare focusing on hydration but they never seem to take acne skin into consideration. So should acne skin types not use exfoliating cleansers and leave on in the winter time?
I'm obviously not Penny😊 but I have dry hormonal acne prone skin. On top of that I have to wear a kn95 masks daily which is a nightmare for my skin. My skin Always gets so dry in the winter. What I've found to be helpful is layering light essences with beneficial (for my acne) ingredients as well as adding extra layers of hydration. Lately I've been using the One Thing toners/essence's. They offer one ingredient so you can choose what is most beneficial to your needs. I'm enjoying the propolis, artemisia, centella and houttuynia cordata. These are specific ones all have benefits for acne prone skin, while adding light layers of hydration. The cosrx snail mucin serum and all in one cream are great for my skin because they are hydrating while helping heal up breakouts. Hope this helps😊
One other thing, in the winter I tend to use more lactic based chemical exfoliators as lactic is "hydrating" in a sense. I will still use a BHA cleanser and toner a couple times a week but not as much in the winter since it tends to dry my skin out more in the colder weather.
hi Penny i love your idea about how to stay young. would you recommend what device should i buy i am 56 years old and going to be 57 this January and my name is Boramy thanks so much sorry for English
Hi Penn, could you address if there is benefit to Argireline and Botox? Is it worth using if you are using Botox, rather than instead of it? Also - can it go on after other products, like Vit C etc..?
Hi Penny! I get regular Botox treatments from my neurologist for migraine headaches. As result I now have very noticeable wrinkles above my eyebrows. Is there anything I can do about this? I’d sure appreciate your thoughts & advise. Your videos are always so interesting & I learn so much from you. Thank you!!
The study had participants use zinc citrate 50 mg and phytase 3,000 PU so that would be what I would think is ideal. I don’t think you’re out of the window 😃 As long as you’re fine taking supplements of course ❤️
Hi Penny, the drooping can happen when the forehead is treated, or the crows feet? And also, can you dermaroll under the eyes gently or not at all? Thanks
Love this video, hoping you can help with the Botox question… I feel like since using micro current very consistently my muscles are stronger and the Botox is less effective and wears off quicker, I love the plump and glow MC gives but it’s dramatically changed the way Botox is working? Is this a thing? Should we not use MC on Botox areas? What’s going on? Thank you 😊
Great video Penny. I'm about to get botox in my lower face lines and above lip lines. Stopped smoking in 2009, but left with a few pesky lines. I do have the Current Body LED face, neck and dec, after I get botox do the lights hurt or help? Edit: and micro-needling. I have purchased 98% of what you talk about, but curious if that makes Botox or any facial injections go away faster. I have a high metabolism and still exercise A LOT at 58, so I wanted to add that in my question. So basically does: 1. LED lights help or hurt, 2. Micro-needing, and 3. Metabolism and working out. I already told me family once I get the injections around my mouth I won't be talking...lol. Sad thing is...they smiled. Like what??? ...lol. They'll miss hearing me and beg me to speak. I'm just kidding. I do have to say...LOVE that sweater.
Informative video…. What do u think of the collagen drinks. VITAL PROTEINS has one out now…several flavors I have noticed in the grocery store. Are they worth it?
I have been using argenaline for about 6 months or more. I have. Been using it around my yes and see know difference but I do have a lone on my forehead from my hair line down about an inch. That has improved. One question, do i derma roll and then put the argenaline on or put it on and then derma roll
Can botox help prevent marionette lines? With the New Year approaching, could u do a video on basic /starter/affordable approach to anti-aging ? Maybe address which affordable devices and products to start with, i.e dermarolling, NuFace, serums?
I don’t think so personally. A lot of that has to do with ligaments and fat pads + gravity. Botox effects the muscles-so likely wouldn’t help marionette lines 😑
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE thank u for the reply! What can i do to avoid further development of marionette lines? Mine are subtle , but noticeable (at least to me). Of all the spots on my face I want to improve , this is the one place that makes me self conscious
After watching this video, I tried to find The Ordinary’s argeriline serum, and I saw that they have a matrixyl serum. Penny, is this something you feel is a good swap for argeriline? And is it something we could nano needle or cosmetic needle with?
I’ll try and find a breakdown of each and share. I paid a deposit, then I actually paid every month (they let me pay ahead) so that by the time I got to my surgery I had it paid for. So I’m not sure on the individual pricing. I’ll find out and let you know! All together it was in the mid teens I believe. Somewhere around 15-16K 🙂
I'm such a weenie. I just got the very shallow needle CIT and plan to try it tomorrow. So, it's crazy to ask, but what do you think of PDO threads? I think you have an older YT about it.
Originally at Revolve-but I recently found it on Amazon! I bought a back up lol I also bought it in another color. Here’s a link (it’s affiliate) amzn.to/3EoNH8v The blue is unavailable right now but the blush is still there ❤️
Really love this video beautiful Penny! I just got my first Botox 3 weeks ago in my neck plytisma muscles. It looks better but still not happy with that area🤣😂😅
Hi Penny! Very informative video! Can you help with recommending a zinc and phytase supplement? I can’t seem to find phytase. Also I am wondering if you think this will help Xeomin injection effects last longer? Thanks 😊
Penny, would you recommend to use argerileni with dr pen microneedle skin routine at home because it contains hydraulic acid ? Also I am new with Dr pen 6. Can I use that product under my eyes with Dr pen to help with my botox last longer ? Thank you. Very excellent video. 🤗
Where can I get the EMS? my wedding is in 2 months and my Gummy Smile treatment gone wrong so bad I’m crying constantly it looks so bad!! I need help I need to get rid of the botox ASAP
8 weeks for me, so I gave up. Putting out 400+ every two months my 11’s to be softened isn’t worth it anymore. Mine are too strong and defy everything. Heck, I frown in my sleep.
so do I I use Smoothies at night in between Botox to train the muscles, one small one on the 11,s and one long one cut in half either side just touching the middle one x

Penn, so if EMS wears of botox faster (in your test) then we should conclude that micro current does the SAME! My plastic surgeon really recommended to stay away from micro current while botox is still active anywhere on my face!
Thoughts ?
Penny, please make a separate video of how you keep your upper eyelids tight and prevent them from dropping.🙏🙏🙏I'm sure a lot will be interested to know what you do specifically for that area
Yes I agree! I need a video on this too
I think she had an eyelid lift. She mentioned it on another video I believe.
@@Smr8115 that's what I'm afraid I need :(
Yes,yes,please,I’d love to see that video
I love getting my Botox, I’m booked in on the 17th to have my twice yearly dose of it, Yes, I get 6 months out of my Botox and at least 2 years with any Filler I have done, it’s just the type of skin I have, actually I’m over due this time round with having my Botox because of my skincare I’ve been using over the past months, I’ve noticed that I haven’t needed it until now, I’m really looking forward to having it done again, there’s nothing really on the market that will give you the same results as Botox, I’m going to have a little put into the corners of my mouth this time round also because I’ve noticed since I’m ageing @60++ that my mouth is getting a little droopy and I can’t be having that, I don’t care what people think about me having Botox, if I can keep my face looking younger and more lifted then I’ll continue to have it done, I always do it for Me and it makes Me feel better about myself, I’ve got a great injector that I’ve been going to for years and she knows my face as much as I do, always do your research on injectors because there’s some really bad ones out there. Happy Holidays Penne and your family and a Very Prosperous New Year filled with Love, Kindness, Peace and Happiness. Best Wishes from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺🎄🎄🎅🏻🤶🏻❤️❤️….and Thank You for not being one of those that are against having Botox 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 and being Honest about having it done yourself, So many on here claim that they have had No Botox but if you’ve had it done yourself, You can tell whether they’ve had it done or not. No One in their 50’s have an absolute wrinkle free face with absolutely no lines around their eyes and forehead. 🤔🤔❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Nellie 💕 Happy Holidays to you and your family as well!
Gosh Penny, thank you for this video. I was freaking out that my botox did not last 5 months. I did not realize it should only for 3-4.🙄 Fun fact: since I started using products (retinol, HA, Vitamin C, Kiwi oil, dermaroller) you mentioned, my skin looks superb🥰 thanks to You.
Me too!! My skin has been glowing so much more thanks to Penn 😇❤️
Mine lasts for 1-2 months
😊 That makes me so happy ❤️
Dysport lasts twice as long for me so I quit Botox, plus it feels lighter since it’s a smaller molecule
@@hollyrealact oh thanks. I will ask my doc about it!🤗
That’s interesting about the zinc supplements because I noticed that my botox lasted longer this year! I thought my injector had some sort of magic (she is amazing). However, I recently started taking zinc supplements! And what’s crazy is that my old injector put way more botox compared to my new one, so I know it’s not just in my head that the results are lasting longer! I noticed an extra month or two, and who wouldn’t love that?
It’s amazing to hear how great zinc is for our immune system AND wrinkles. Thank you for continuing to educate us with your knowledge 😇❤️
Different injectors dilute the product differently too
@@ThePathOfLeastResistanc oh I hadn’t even thought of that! Thank you for letting me know 😇
What zinc supplements are you taking and do you take it daily?
@@BlingyBea chelated zinc!
Wow! Thanks for the zinc/botox information. I'm researching the zinc/botox connection and it's nothing new. Can't believe I'm finding articles dating back to 2012!
Hello friend, how are you doing?
Wow, my head is spinning with all this info! Thank you and also for linking the products you mentioned ❤. My hesitancy with Botox has always been how temporary it is. Your suggestions on making it last are so appreciated.
I started having 3 point glabella done in March. Could not be happier with the results. It doesn’t stop all movements but it stops my subconscious scrunching I’ve always done. I no longer look mad all the time either. When my husband starts asking why I’m always looking mad is a good indicator I need a touch up.
Hello friend how are you doing? Hope you and your family doing well.
Thank you Penny... you are amazing. I had experience in my life with botox and never again... there is a digralization and atrophy of not only muscles, but also nearby tissues ...
QUESTION 🙋🏻♀️- How long did the Botox in your masseter muscles last? How long did the effects last? Have your masseter muscles come back at all and how long did that take? Thank you!
42 and I want Botox for my forehead so bad. My birthday is in January and once we make it through the holidays, I'm DEFINITELY treating myself🥰
You are going to love it! I'm 41 and I love botox.
I’ve been extending how manny times I get it throughout the year to 2 times a year, mostly due to the high cost, and I only get on my forehead. Will definitely try the products you suggested. Thank you!
Penny, I have read that some ophthalmologists don't recommend using argireline on the orbital muscles because it can eventually affect one's ability to blink properly. Have you heard of this happening? I love the idea of using argireline in my 11 area between eyebrows, but don't know if I should put it around my eyes. What do you think? Thanks as always for your wonderful research and for sharing it with us lay people.
: )
Interesting! I’d love to know more about this.
What ever is going on with your skin in this video is so good!! Im obsessed, thank you for this wonderful video as well! Very cool information, yes I'm a little late to the party here but hey better late than never lol. Love you Penn!!!!
I don't do botox but I now know how to use my argiriline more effectively. I will say that I too have seen improvement in my dynamic lines using it daily.
You look so pretty in blue! Great info…I’m going to try the ZInc for sure! I always learn so much from you ❤️
Hello friend, how are you doing😊😊?
I'd be curious what fillers/Botox you have Penny. Love all your videos. I learn so much !
I get Botox regularly and have had filler over the years. At this point now I have about 1/2 a syringe in my lips (this is very new for me-I didn’t used to EVER want filler in my lips. I do it now not for volume but to shape them the way I want).
Where it looks like I have a ton of filler (my cheeks) I actually don’t. I just have big cheeks and always have. Just looking at my son’s school pics today and he has my cheeks (he’s 12) and it made me smile 😊
I used to have filler under my eyes but I dissolved it.
I do get sculptra injections-that is a bio stimulator that helps grow your own collagen). I do that in my temples (just started that) and the frame of my face.
I think that’s it?
Oh! I had a TINY bit of restslyn contour put in my malar break (it’s a line in the cheek where the malar pad creases).
These are of course all spread out over a long period of time, not all at once.
❤️
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE thank you for replying!! 💜
I’ve been using the Ordinary’s alongside my Botox and I get about 6 months!
So freaking thankful for you Penn Smith❣️
Oh my gosh! So kind!
I’m thankful for you!
Thanks for all your great info! Not sure but I think exercise makes it go away faster. Or anything else that increases metabolism. Just a theory, no idea if it’s true for everyone.
This video was very helpful. I don't like my 11's. I recently just did botox and love the results. I'm going to do my next injection soon. My only issue with botox is that it's costly. I don't think I could pay for four treatments a year. If anything can help botox last longer I'm willing to try it.
Penn thank you i got my botox 2 weeks ago. My speech is funny and i cant seem to have a full smile on my face? So am going to talk to the doctor about this EMS you said in the video. I wont ever have this done again ok thank you for this video.
In the UK they charge you by the area not the units. They don’t even tell you how many units you get. No rewards based programs like Allergan’s Brilliant Distinctions does in the states. It’s more expensive here too.
Hello friend, how are you doing?
You are such a powerhouse! I am so thankful that you share all your knowledge with us.
I so very much appreciate you being here with us !
Thank you Lena, I appreciate all of you so much! 💕
I've had eyelid drooping and this was so helpful and interesting! Thanks, Penny

Thankyou soso much im an aesthetics practitioner and I didn't know this about zinc and Argireline how amazing i will be using myself and advising my clients too ...♥️ I love youre channel huge fan here 💓
Thank you 💕
What are some reasons for botox fading within 5 weeks? Love your videos, Penn! You're my fave RUclips Estie!!
I just got a Botox treatment and the thing that was a con is that it only last 2.5 months for me! I will look into the zinc supplements. I thought it was because I have a high metabolism.
I do use peptides and argireline. I figure, that it can’t hurt lol. Thanks for another informative video 😊👍
Hi, some injectors dilute down their botox too much....so your results might not last as long. And then you need to go back to them for some more....and more money for them- just saying. Maybe try another injector just to compare how long your botox lasts.
@@mariarobson8116 Good to know. I got another injector this time around and also got Nuceiva (Jeuveau for Americans). I’ll see if I can get more than 3 months from this.
Penny, you shared a procedure you had on your lower face definitely done by a surgeon. I can't find that video. If you see this could you put a link for it here. Tired of searching : ) Oh, I love you!
So informative as always. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing knowledge 🥰
Thank you Blanca ❤️
Thanks for broaching this topic, and so thoroughly!! I could listen to you chat about skincare all day!
Thank You Arin!
Thanks Penny for all the information You are the best !!!!
Love your information..lots there. I’m a Botox fan, but love anything to extend! I wish you would explain how to fit argeriline into your routine.. where does the item go -before or after vitamin c? Retinol? Serum?
Very confusing. Do you put product on before or after derm rolling? Complete help is appreciated!!
Thanks very!!
Hello friend how are you doing? Hope you and your family doing well.
Do you think I could use aregireline with high frequency to help it penetrate deeper?
Also, I’m not sure if you’ve ever disclosed, but I’d love to hear what you do to get such plump cheeks! Filler, etc. please and thank you 🙏🏻 love all your videos!
Hello friend, how are you doing?
Bless you Penny, I am 1 week post botox to my platysmal bands and it feels like I have something sitting on my throat! I don't like this feeling at all! I want the tox gone asap! THANK YOU, I will use my lumo wand that has ems daily and see how that goes.
It worked!!!
Oh my gosh, YAY!!!!
I need the lumo wand. It it work making it wear off? I’m dealing with this disaster and when I smile I get two rolls under my eyes now.
@@AlicjaM6I can’t find a lumo wand. Did you mean luma wand? I wanna order it too. Thank you so much! 😊
I love your videos!! Your skin goals! 😊
Side note: where did you get your necklace?
Yes I would love to know where your necklace is from too?
Thank you! I love Botox normally but this last time they overdid my forehead and I hate how it looks and feels. My brows and forehead feel so heavy and my face looks older and less expressive. Counting down the days until it wears off. Thank you for your tips!!!
hello, thank you so much for your fabulous and educational videos. I love, love, love them. I started doing microneedling, microdemabrasion, quartz roller and gua sha at home (with regular retinol treatment) for the past 4 months and i cant believe the difference it made to my skin- my botox injections results were prolonged from 3 to to 5 months period!!! Amazing! Now, i have a question, how long do i need to wait with all the above mentioned procedures post botox please? also, the quartz roller combined with the gua sha massage have exactly the same effect on my crows feet as the botox injection, it really smoothes them out. Could you elaborate on it? Many thanks!
I always wait 2 weeks (and that’s what we would tell patients in clinic).
I’m so happy that you are seeing positive changes in your skin!!! 😀yay!!!
The Droplette collagen is everything!!!! What are some water based Argeraline products you can recommend? I have a Myolift mini…I can’t use this and have Botox? Myofift is EMS?
Penny, as per usual amazing information! Your content is always the BEST❤️❤️❤️ Happy holidays 🎄
Thank you so much and Happy Holidays to you as well 💕
Thanks Penny! Love all the info as usual. Along the lines of your hypothesis on EMS, do you think that microcurrent devices could reduce Botox efficacy as well? Since it’s stimulating the muscles, I have wondered if that goes against the paralyzing effect? Thanks again and happy Holidays!
I’ve heard it can
Hi Penny, I'm scared to start botox. I am 29 and wondering if I should start minor botox now to prevent aging? How early do you recommend people to start?
Thanks Penny
Hello friend, how are you doing?
Can you please do a video on whether you feel EMS is truly effective to aid anti aging based on the positive and negatives~ esp if you have Botox and or fillers?
Are you familiar with accutane? What kind of skin care regimen should I have AFTER treatment? Thanks 💕
I know this is off topic to your video but I wanted your answer because you seem the most informed.
Q: Can I put a Retinoin on top of an oil & still get results or do you have to go through the dry skin? My skin is very dry to start with so I put rose hip oil underneath. Will negate the Tretinoin affects? My skin wasn't dry the next morning but maybe I🤔 negated the Tretinoin? What do you think? Thank you!
Hi! I saw many people mixing their Tretinoin with moisturizer and then applying to the face. I sometimes put the trretinoin first and then add oil on top.
@@oanadamian5850 Thank you, I have tried both those but my face still ends up like the Sahara! So, this time, I put Rose Hip oil & let that soak in 1/2 hour then put .25% on top & my face was soft & smooth in the am but not sure I got benefit! 🤔
I loved botox but I got horrible Systemic spread of it when I got it and got horrible, life altering symptoms. If I can't do botox anymore, is there another alternative? Does anyone know?🥺🥺
Your hair is so gorgeous! Do you still enjoy using the revitalash products? I talked myself out of the lash serum because I heard it causes fat loss below the eyes, but since watching your updated PM routine and seeing your hair here, I think I may need to pull the trigger on both!
Yes! I still use and love them both❤️
Great video 🤩 I have heard that if you are someone that keeps your heart rate elevated with some type of aerobics that your Botox won’t last as long.
Is Microcurrent effective if you’ve had botox?
Hello friend, how are you doing?
I got botox between my brows for a deep crease. It didn't seem to make any positive effect. I returned and she agreed and added more. Still no effect. Can I be resistant to it? Or is the crease too deep and it takes more time and botox? Or will it simply never lessen at this stage of the wrinkle? Thank you so much for all you do and the education you provide.
Hello friend, how are you doing?
The device you use every morning, is that called a Drop lit ?
Do you have a link for that? ❤
Would a higher percentage of Argireline be more beneficial? Lotion Crafter has a wrinkle defense complex that is 55% Argireline and 45% Matrixyl 3000. The smallest amount they sell is 0.25 ounces which if I add it to 30 ml of hyaluronic acid will give a 25% Argireline and 23% Matrixyl 3000 solution. I am assuming I can use this solution when I do cosmetic micro needling. Have been seriously considering Botox. Thanks for the great information as usual.😊
I just received those two products that you have just posted have you ever used them before and how do you dilute them I normally put a couple drops in my moisturizer as I go
@@patmandolla1806 I am getting ready to order it right now. I have never used it before but it’s nice that it can be formulated at a higher percentage and possibly be more effective. That is why I am asking Penny about it. The product I am speaking of from Lotion Crafter is one item that is a mixture of the two peptides. I plan to
mix it with hyaluronic acid and it is us simple 3 product serum. Sorry I don’t have an answer for you about how well it works.
Hi Penny! Great video as always! Two questions: One, is argireline safe for sensitive skin? Two, for the Droplet do you know how the collagen was sourced? I'm allergic to shellfish and wish to avoid a bad reaction. Thank you!!
The company says it is vegan.
For some reason botox on my forehead, crows feet and elevens always last me 4 months. IDK, maybe it's my diet. I eat a lot of leafy greens and drink a lot of bone broth, not sure, but I have been thinking about getting botox for the TMJ I have on my left side, but I sure wouldn't want a sagging jowl too lol. Have to check that out. Thanks Penny for this info.
Thank you so much! I typically get Dysport 2 or 3xs a year.. I have the 11’s, crows feet and used to have the corners of the mouth done, down those muscles-now my practitioner doesn’t want to do those anymore, because she had a difficult time with getting the sides even enough to have a pleasing enough result that didn’t end up making my mouth look crooked. I was disappointed because I would rather have that done, than fillers in that area, that don’t seem to last long for me, and are exponentially more costly.
Sometimes I’m a touch crooked but I don’t care. My mouth is sort of crooked to start lol
Maybe search for another practitioner who will do your DAOs. I agree, filler around the mouth doesn’t last long at all and it’s expensive!
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARESAME- my mouth is definitely crooked and I am so bummed because I just spent $1000 getting the corners filled and honestly, it doesn’t look like anything was done..I’m sooo disappointed and depressed about it.
Thanks for all the information on Botox. You always give great videos. Take care.
Thank you! You too!
Love this video!! Thank you so much & Hurray for the droplette collagen. I love it.
Hello friend, how are you doing?
I love your channel. I live in Washington and would love to come see you. You are amazing. You have helped me so much with my skincare. I’m 39 and just got botox around my small lips to give a lift. My lips feel numb and I don’t like it. Thanks for this info.
Hello friend, how are you doing?
You mentioned dermarolling the Argireline in, but since the Asterwood Naturals Triple Repair Matrixyl 3000 has Vitamin C in it, is that not a great idea? Or is it not enough to be a concern?
Hi Penny, is the Vit C + Argirline serum safe to use before/after dermarolling? I was concerned about the addition of the Vit C stinging or irritating my skin after a dermaroll.
I have slight facial paralysis (sort of like Bell's Palsey) on the right side of my face due to a non cancerous brain tumor on the right 7th cranial nerve. I usually only need botox on the left side of my face. concerned of fine little wrinkles under my eyes and under my bottom lip my injector injected a tiny amount superficially (so she said) under both eyes in the fine little wrinkles and under my lip. HUGE mistake! the botox under my right eye has caused me not to be able to move the top corner of my mouth at all where as before it was already paralyzed but had a bit of movement. the botox under my lip has caused the right side of the lip to be stuck up over my teeth, In short I talk like the penquin in batman. I am miserable. hard to pronouce words, I bite the inside of my lip when I eat, etc. I am trying to smile constantly to stimulate the nerve to come back. HELP!!! It is 38 days post injection and I need to get this out of my system ASAP. any suggestions?
I get Botox regularly and I don't want it to be diminished but I am wondering, does using my microcurrent eye mask over the Botox area make the Botox not work? I have noticed since I purchased the Myolift with the eye mask that my botox doesn't last as long.
I'm wondering the same about all anti aging devices!
I love it I'm addicted I have to go back soon. When I first got it I was so scared I thought they messed up my face it was a few days in a my lip sagged I was horrified but it went away the next day I guess it was in the process of infusing but girl I was so scared I called them and was like u messed up my face but after like a week I loved it.
Also I did have side affects weekness sick feeling but I think it was worth it.

Thank you so much for this information Penny! I’ve been so upset for days! I went to the dermatologist and he said in order for me to look beautiful I need Botox, Fillers and Laser really?? I ran out of his office crying 😭 it was just devastating to hear this! I need help! When would you use the argireline in a routine? After toner or before moisturizer?? Thank you so much and have a wonderful week! Happy Holidays! 🎄❤️💚❤️💚❤️
I think you need a new dermatologist. I am 1000% sure that you do NOT need any of that to be beautiful!!
For me argireline is at night right now and it’s only spot treatment.
I used to do it in the morning (spot treatment) 3-4 times a week on days I don’t do acids or l-ascorbic acid.
Now I do it at night with my serums and just between my brows and outside my eyes. I then go on as usual.
1-2 times a week I will try to add a dermaroller to that area as well.
It’s really a matter of remembering 😬.
I’m trying to make it a habit ❤️
I’m so sorry you had that experience, no one needs any of this stuff to be beautiful.
I’ve had enough interactions with you to confidently say that you ARE beautiful.
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE thank you so much Penny! You are just so sweet! I’m still so upset! I’ve always been so self-conscious and he made it 10 times worse! Not to mention, even if I wanted to have all that work done, I couldn’t afford lol..
So, argireline can not be combined with acids or l-ascorbic acid but can it be used along side copper peptides or retinol? I also use it as a spot treatment too! In between brows, forehead and under eyes! Thanks again and have a wonderful week! And Happy Holidays! 🎄❤️💚❤️💚
One time when I was in my 40's I went to my usual injector for botox and said I think its my crows that bother me the most and told him I didn't think my forehead was that bad. He said something like "oh honey, yes it is". So, of course, I got it there but what the heck?! I'm 55 now and still think my forehead isnt really that bad. Of course it looks better with botox but he really shouldnt have said that. I was clearly ok with how that area looked. Just like everyone else, skin experts are all about their "thing"...A painter is going to notice if a house needs repainting more than the average joe, my optometrist friend notices if someones glasses aren't the right fit or shape for them more than the average joe, etc etc. We have to take these type of comments with a grain of salt....the difference, I think, is that these peoples opinions concern our looks, which we are much more sensitive about. Just something to think about with our skin care journey!
@@amydeckard7305 Thank you so much for your reply Amy! It was so just so upsetting not just the comment itself but the delivery of it! My looks have always been a real big problem for me even from a young age. Being picked on my kids and family members and then still as an adult comment’s always being made makes me very self conscious. I do appreciate what the doctor was trying to say but being rude and snarky about it and saying that was the only way for me to look pretty just devastated me! I truly appreciate your comment and I hope you have a lovely rest of the week 🥰🥰
@@crissyanderson6495 I would be upset too, so sorry that was your experience and what you have dealt with. We are definitely more than our looks!! You too
Hi Penny
I see lots of videos on winter skincare focusing on hydration but they never seem to take acne skin into consideration. So should acne skin types not use exfoliating cleansers and leave on in the winter time?
I'm obviously not Penny😊 but I have dry hormonal acne prone skin. On top of that I have to wear a kn95 masks daily which is a nightmare for my skin. My skin Always gets so dry in the winter. What I've found to be helpful is layering light essences with beneficial (for my acne) ingredients as well as adding extra layers of hydration. Lately I've been using the One Thing toners/essence's. They offer one ingredient so you can choose what is most beneficial to your needs. I'm enjoying the propolis, artemisia, centella and houttuynia cordata. These are specific ones all have benefits for acne prone skin, while adding light layers of hydration. The cosrx snail mucin serum and all in one cream are great for my skin because they are hydrating while helping heal up breakouts. Hope this helps😊
One other thing, in the winter I tend to use more lactic based chemical exfoliators as lactic is "hydrating" in a sense. I will still use a BHA cleanser and toner a couple times a week but not as much in the winter since it tends to dry my skin out more in the colder weather.
hi Penny i love your idea about how to stay young. would you recommend what device should i buy i am 56 years old and going to be 57 this January and my name is Boramy thanks so much sorry for English
Hi Penn, could you address if there is benefit to Argireline and Botox? Is it worth using if you are using Botox, rather than instead of it? Also - can it go on after other products, like Vit C etc..?
Hello friend, how are you doing?
Hi Penny! I get regular Botox treatments from my neurologist for migraine headaches. As result I now have very noticeable wrinkles above my eyebrows. Is there anything I can do about this? I’d sure appreciate your thoughts & advise.
Your videos are always so interesting & I learn so much from you. Thank you!!
Hello friend, how are you doing?
What about micro current? Would it help dissipate faster?
Wonderful information!
Thank you penny 💕🥰
What a great video Penny!♥️
Thank you Marie 😊
Loved this video. Would I be able to use my galvanic facial device with argireline serum?
Do you have something about EMS devices for Home use? ❤ please.
And thank you
I just got botox a few days ago. Do you think it will help to start taking Zinc now, or did I miss the window? How much should be taken?
The study had participants use zinc citrate 50 mg and phytase 3,000 PU so that would be what I would think is ideal. I don’t think you’re out of the window 😃
As long as you’re fine taking supplements of course ❤️
I’m gonna try rolling the argireline in…but with pen and only one pass at .20
Hello friend, how are you doing?
Hi Penny, the drooping can happen when the forehead is treated, or the crows feet? And also, can you dermaroll under the eyes gently or not at all? Thanks
Love this video, hoping you can help with the Botox question… I feel like since using micro current very consistently my muscles are stronger and the Botox is less effective and wears off quicker, I love the plump and glow MC gives but it’s dramatically changed the way Botox is working? Is this a thing? Should we not use MC on Botox areas? What’s going on? Thank you 😊
From what I understand MC is EMS which stimulates the muscles and shortens Botox efficacy.
Great video Penny. I'm about to get botox in my lower face lines and above lip lines. Stopped smoking in 2009, but left with a few pesky lines. I do have the Current Body LED face, neck and dec, after I get botox do the lights hurt or help?
Edit: and micro-needling. I have purchased 98% of what you talk about, but curious if that makes Botox or any facial injections go away faster. I have a high metabolism and still exercise A LOT at 58, so I wanted to add that in my question. So basically does: 1. LED lights help or hurt, 2. Micro-needing, and 3. Metabolism and working out. I already told me family once I get the injections around my mouth I won't be talking...lol. Sad thing is...they smiled. Like what??? ...lol. They'll miss hearing me and beg me to speak. I'm just kidding.
I do have to say...LOVE that sweater.
Hello friend, how are you doing😊😊?
Informative video…. What do u think of the collagen drinks. VITAL PROTEINS has one out now…several flavors I have noticed in the grocery store. Are they worth it?
I have been using argenaline for about 6 months or more. I have. Been using it around my yes and see know difference but I do have a lone on my forehead from my hair line down about an inch. That has improved. One question, do i derma roll and then put the argenaline on or put it on and then derma roll
Can botox help prevent marionette lines? With the New Year approaching, could u do a video on basic /starter/affordable approach to anti-aging ? Maybe address which affordable devices and products to start with, i.e dermarolling, NuFace, serums?
I don’t think so personally. A lot of that has to do with ligaments and fat pads + gravity. Botox effects the muscles-so likely wouldn’t help marionette lines 😑
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE thank u for the reply! What can i do to avoid further development of marionette lines? Mine are subtle , but noticeable (at least to me). Of all the spots on my face I want to improve , this is the one place that makes me self conscious
I bought an ems massager to also help with my masseter Botox! Caused some sagging around my mouth. Hoping it works
Can you tell me where you got an ems massager for the face? I did Botox for the crows feet and I have jelly rolls when I smile now and never again 😭
After watching this video, I tried to find The Ordinary’s argeriline serum, and I saw that they have a matrixyl serum. Penny, is this something you feel is a good swap for argeriline? And is it something we could nano needle or cosmetic needle with?
Hi there ,what was the cost of the surgery u had on sides of face , not ur neck part ..OMG u look fabulous Xx
I’ll try and find a breakdown of each and share. I paid a deposit, then I actually paid every month (they let me pay ahead) so that by the time I got to my surgery I had it paid for. So I’m not sure on the individual pricing. I’ll find out and let you know! All together it was in the mid teens I believe. Somewhere around 15-16K 🙂
Excellent information. 👍
I'm such a weenie. I just got the very shallow needle CIT and plan to try it tomorrow. So, it's crazy to ask, but what do you think of PDO threads? I think you have an older YT about it.
Penn I love your sweater! Looks beautiful with your eyes, where did you get it? :-0
Originally at Revolve-but I recently found it on Amazon! I bought a back up lol
I also bought it in another color.

The blue is unavailable right now but the blush is still there ❤️
And thank you!
How often do you derma roll with the Arg? Thanks for your help :)
Really love this video beautiful Penny! I just got my first Botox 3 weeks ago in my neck plytisma muscles. It looks better but still not happy with that area🤣😂😅
Oh how exciting!
Good to see your face Kim 😍
Very useful video, thank you Penny❤️
Glad it was helpful! 💕
Hi Penny! Very informative video! Can you help with recommending a zinc and phytase supplement? I can’t seem to find phytase. Also I am wondering if you think this will help Xeomin injection effects last longer?
Thanks 😊
Hello friend, how are you doing?
Penny, would you recommend to use argerileni with dr pen microneedle skin routine at home because it contains hydraulic acid ? Also I am new with Dr pen 6. Can I use that product under my eyes with Dr pen to help with my botox last longer ? Thank you. Very excellent video. 🤗
Sure-but only cosmetic depths. I still only medical needle with hyaluronic acid only or sterile saline ❤️
Where can I get the EMS? my wedding is in 2 months and my Gummy Smile treatment gone wrong so bad I’m crying constantly it looks so bad!! I need help I need to get rid of the botox ASAP
I got gummy smile botox and my engagement party is in 1 month and I hate it too. I ordered Medicube age-R device. Have you tried anything yet?
Hi Penny love your vidéos !! Can we use TMP while having botox ?
Hello friend, how are you doing?
also! I’m excited about incorporating Argeriline into my needling sessions!
Juveau lasts so much longer! And it kicks in faster.
8 weeks for me, so I gave up. Putting out 400+ every two months my 11’s to be softened isn’t worth it anymore. Mine are too strong and defy everything. Heck, I frown in my sleep.
so do I I use Smoothies at night in between Botox to train the muscles, one small one on the 11,s and one long one cut in half either side just touching the middle one x
So if I get Botox … what is the best skincare … ?? So overwhelming…
