Three Reasons to Try Botox Now

Botox is still uncharted territory for many people. It seems like a big step to go from a daily skin care regime and monthly facials to injecting botulism. But from my experience with clients and friends, it’s usually a positive turning point in protracting the aging process.

Here’s three reasons to Try Botox Now

1. I’m not sure what could be a better reason for trying botox than the fact that it works- and the results are noticeable. It’s not like the fine print at the bottom of an ad for an anti-aging cream that proclaims that 80% of people perceived that their fine lines and wrinkles were lessened. With botox- its not a matter of subjective microns of change- the lines melt away.

2. People will finally stop asking you if you’re okay. For those plagued by frown lines in the middle of the brow that come about on a subconscious level when lost in thought- you’ll no longer look angry to the rest of the world. Your brow will be a smooth and open vista of relaxation.

3. It lasts and it’s affordable. Unlike more drastic measures such as a face lift, there is little to no down-time with botox injections and the cost is considerably more manageable than surgery. Patients generally get anywhere from 10-50 units of botox per treatment and the effects last up to 4 months. When you do the math, that’s anywhere from $300 to $1500 per year to shed aging wrinkles.
