Xeomin (botulinum toxin)

Don't judge me!

I have this nasty little biological habit that I can build muscle too well (I am definitely a mesomorph)... the only problem is that it isn't just limited to my limbs.
About two years ago, I started getting tension headaches and  (when I looked in the mirror) I could see the distinct lines on my brow where I had been frowning.
I tried to get out of the habit, but I couldn't, it was a subconscious reaction.
Mine were a very muscular scrunch... my doctor was even impressed!

So, instead of taking pain killers all the time, I decided to get the muscles paralysed.

The injections last about 4 months and I get 30 units in my brow. I tried just 20, but it wasn't enough.
The good thing about this is over time, the muscles will atrophy and I won't need as much.

It is an expensive treatment, at  $15 a unit ($450 each 4 months for me), but it works so well.
It takes away the stress headaches and that is perfect.

Price: 0/5 ($15 a unit, you need many units)
Pain of procedure: 1/5
Effectiveness: 5/5
