My frown lines have deepened from tutoring children. Would someone like me be a candidate for Botox?

Hello, members! Haha. You all worked really hard today. I am just an ordinary office worker who repeats the daily commute, testing the limits of my patience. Lately, whenever I look at my own face, I feel so scared of myself that I am writing this post to ask for some advice. Due to my job, I often have to guide, reason with, and sometimes discipline children firmly dozens of times a day. Especially when dealing with mischievous kids who don't listen, I have developed a habit of glaring and furrowing my brows without even realizing it. At first, I thought it was just because I was tired, but since this has accumulated over several years, now even when I just sit still with a blank expression, a deep wrinkle forms between my eyebrows, resembling the Chinese character for "river" (川). ㅠㅠ I met up with friends last week for the first time in a while, and I was truly shocked when everyone asked if something bad had happened or if I looked angry. I was just sitting still as usual, but because of that single wrinkle between my eyebrows, I feel like my impression has become menacing and I’ve turned irritable, and my self-esteem is plummeting. I spent a lot of money buying and applying anti-wrinkle cosmetics, and even tried putting tape between my eyebrows before going to sleep, but it was all useless against the deep wrinkles that were already etched.

Ultimately, thinking that the best solution is to prevent muscle overuse, I began seriously considering Botox. However, since I am a total wimp who has never undergone any cosmetic dermatological procedures before, I am suddenly terrified of getting Botox. Would someone like me, who already has deep wrinkles due to facial expression habits, be a suitable candidate for glabellar Botox to see a definite tightening effect? ​​I am extremely worried about whether the injection will be extremely painful, or if I might experience side effects such as my eyelids feeling heavy or my facial expressions becoming too artificial and awkward. Due to the nature of my job, I need to convey emotions through various facial expressions, so it would be problematic if I froze like a mannequin after getting Botox. Haha. Also, I heard that Botox isn't permanent and requires periodic injections; I am curious how often people recommended to get it done typically go back for treatment. I feel like if I go to a clinic for a consultation, they will just tell me to do it no matter what, so I would like to hear the objective and honest opinions of the Maypure community first. I want to get rid of my angry expression and return to the soft, gentle look I used to have. If anyone has had similar concerns, I would appreciate it if you could share your vivid reviews and advice on whether you would highly recommend Botox. I hope you all shake off all the fatigue accumulated today and have a good night!!
