A decade ago when I first heard about botox, I have to admit I jumped on the ‘no-way’ bandwagon with what seemed to be the majority of the population. And even though I didn’t know a thing about the medical product, procedure or results, I certainly was bold enough to judge anyone who thought to use it.
That was until I looked in the mirror when I turned 30 and saw my hag face staring back at me.
Listen, some of us are born with great genetics and a small forehead; But for me, I was blessed with a giant forehead, bridge troll genetics and my dirty thirties had hit me hard!
So I started to do my research and even spoke with a number of injectable doctors about the process, product and expected results.
After much thought and consideration I secretly booked and had my first Botox treatment.
I never told anyone, but within 10 days my ex wrinkly, creased face started walking up fresh faced!
My fine lines and wrinkles were decreased and the over exaggerated and expressive movement of my face was slowed to pleasant state.
I was so satisfied with the results that I continued getting treated every six months or so for the next three years without telling a sole due to the fear judgement.
Then I realized how stupid that was!
So now, I tell everyone my beauty secret!
Look, we all want to “grow old gracefully” but some people’s genetics, mine included, are a like a death drop on a roller coaster and we are going to need of all the help we can get!
And that’s where Dr. Zakhary comes in for me.
As a specialized facial surgeon, I am 100% confident with her knowledge of the muscles in my face and with her injection technique.
I’ve watched her prep the Botox, trust in her practices and of course my end results are the proof in the pudding!
So if you’re like me and want to slow down Father Times cruel joke, my advice would be to:
Learn the facts so your comfortable and confident, chat with a specialized injection doctor like Dr.Zakhary (do not let your hairstylist handle your Botox, that’s just dumb!) and treat yourself!
I’m know I’m personally happier when I look in the mirror and see myself in photos and you should be too!
Fresh Faced (as I can be) and feeling FAB!
