I got BOTOX

I knew I needed Botox since a few years ago but was denying myself from getting it. "Facials and creams will do." That was my way of thinking that the aging process would somehow someday come to an end. OF COURSE NOT. Yes, I was making the process slower but eventually my face would be covered with wrinkles. I started thinking about Botox and saw how all my friends my age started getting it. (I'm 33 btw) Even my younger friends since they claimed it was "preventive" which in fact, it is. The reason why I'm doing this post is to share will you all my experience, the pros, the cons and well, the truth.

I met Kassandra from Derma Medical about a month ago when I got my Nose Lift. (I'll share that experience another day.) I started asking her about Botox. I really wanted her insight since she's the expert. I knew I needed Botox but I wanted her confirmation. One thing she told me was that I was at a perfect age to start preventing my wrinkles from getting deeper which would make everything worse in the future. I'm all about prevention so that's what sold me. I had already tried all the skincare routines out there to prevent them and well, didn't work.

So, while talking, we agreed to do a partnership. Derma Medial would treat my forehead with Botox. I was beyond excited. When the day of my appointment came, I was freaking out. I did not know what to expect but Kassandra and her husband Jesse made me feel comfortable and assured it would not hurt at all. I got 26 units which would be equivalent to $290 in Botox. They have several brands; Xeomin, Dysport and Botox. All brands work the same but it al depends on the patient which brand they prefer. Afterwards, Kassandra explained the dos and don'ts after getting Botox which you have to abide by for at least 6-7 hours after getting the injections.

Overall, it was a very good experience. They recommended to get the botulinum toxin every 5 months. The effect on the frown lasts less because the affected muscle is stronger. I'll leave below the before and after photo. The difference is better seen in person or video but believe me when I say that my foreheads has never been shinier. (LOL) Thank you for reading and remember to be do good and be good.
