I never believed the saying that the first visible changes in a woman come after thirty, the next after thirty-five. That in addition to the “sticky” pounds on the belly, which once went down after a few days of dieting, wrinkles that you didn’t even notice before will also stand out. What the hell, I’m no exception. I take care of my skin regularly, I use all kinds of creams, but apparently it’s not enough for my genetic mix. I was increasingly concerned with how to get rid of the first noticeable wrinkles. I didn’t want to admit that this was an irreversible condition.
“I use all kinds of creams, but apparently it’s not enough for my genetic mix.”
I started to pay more attention to my friends who celebrated the same number of years as me. Some really looked like they had just had a birthday party, which impressed me. But others had faces like twenty-somethings. I didn’t want to believe that it was just genes. So I started studying various websites of clinics that performed rejuvenation methods. Mesotherapy, oxygen treatments, botox… From my modest analysis, I came to the conclusion that it would be ideal for my “wrinkles” on my face. There was just one catch… I was panicking about the pain and injections that I would have to endure. I was also afraid that the result would be artificial. You know the same thing, you can think of the worst photo from the tabloids. And so I postponed the procedure indefinitely.
“There was one catch… I was panicking about the pain and injections that I would have to endure. I was also afraid that the result would be artificial.”
After a while, I met a friend from the aforementioned twenty-something club. Curiosity got the better of me, so I asked her for the secret recipe. My friend waved her hand and told me: “I’ve been getting Botox for years.” She spent the rest of the conversation explaining how it all works and saying I really have nothing to worry about. I left the meeting feeling more satisfied and especially with a contact to the clinic and the skilled doctor from the dermatology department. After that, things went very quickly. At the meeting, we went over all my critical areas. The doctor explained the entire procedure to me. She confirmed that it was a safe method and prepared me for minor bruising and swelling.
“Today I have to say that my fear of pain was unnecessary. Those little needles are bearable, especially if you know that the result is worth it.”
I had a wrinkle on my forehead and around my mouth removed. The result looked very natural and was visible after just two days. Today I know that I will choose Botox even if I need to preserve my youth around the eyes or on my neck or décolleté. All it takes is a small correction, the right doctor, and you’ll pleasantly lose a few years off your face.
