2. who would be injecting you?
Dr. Ablon

3. what areas are they looking to treat and how many mLs do they anticipating you "need" for full correction. fyi, most preliminary treatments are $300 per session and they last about 3-4 months. some claim to last longer, depends on where you're treated, etc.
They couldn't tell me how many because the Dr. will need to determine but they're not planning on testing anything more than the "normal" dosage.

4. are you being signed up for an informal study in the office or a clinical head-to-head study.
Clinical study.

5. what products will they be using (my guess is dysport vs botox)
They'll be testing the 2 side by side to see which one is faster to paralyze my forehead.

I'm still really struggling with this. I like how Leslie said it's a vacation for my muscles. Do I want to put poison in my body? I'd love the cash.

Maybe I should look at is as humanitarian work since they're not testing it on kittens and puppies.

The photo schedule is a bit intense. First day I get photos 3 times (8AM, 2PM, 8PM) then every day for 9 days straight then photos every 30 days (up to 6 months).

I have this week to decide.
