Rediscovering Myself with Botox
I run a event management firm and do firmly believe in the fact that looking good helps a lot in my business. I always believe in looking good, not for anybody else, but for myself. I was 36 and knew age was showing up. I could see those fine lines all around my eyes, cheeks and forehead, whenever I would look myself in the mirror. It was hard to believe that I was getting wrinkles, but mirror never tell lies. Somewhere I felt I was thinking too much about it. I didn’t pay much attention towards my job, my family, as if this was the only thing important right now. I tried applying heavy makeup, to hide those lines. But can you hide it from your own self? I tried all anti-aging creams, which claim to remove those wrinkles, but well, those claims just proved to be fake. I consulted many salons for various skin treatments, if that could help, and indeed tried few therapies as well. But in vain! My mom assured me that getting wrinkles was very natural and I shouldn’t get bothered about it. I should just give up.
Finally, I decided to get an last opinion; before giving up. I consulted my cosmetic physician. When he heard me out, he said there was definitely something, that was going to help me out. Botox? Well I had heard that word before, but couldn’t sensed what it was and how it was going to help me. He explained it to me thoroughly. Botox is an toxin which can be administered in a small portion to solve my problem. It is given as an injection. This injection is nowadays commonly used by many people, preferably movie stars, for removing those wrinkles. Botox contains a small dose of Botulinum toxin. Botox is injected between the eyebrows, forehead and somewhere next to the eyes. This tends to paralyze the facial muscles and this prevents wrinkles. Botox and Dysport injections are bit expensive but seemed to be worth it, The effect of Botox does last for around 3 – 4 months approximately. I decided to give it a shot. After all I was waiting for something like this. Then why not! There was no problem in trying it. I told my cosmetic physician to go on with it. I was bit scared with the injection, because that would definitely hurt. But my doc assured me that the pain would last only for a few seconds. Well it did hurt, kind of pricked. But it was kind of okay. Within a couple of weeks, I felt the difference. Those fine lines were disappearing. My wrinkles were disappearing! My goodness! I couldn’t believe it, at first. My face looked a bit tighter, that looseness had gone. Well, it really made me happy. Though I had to shell a bit of a sum, it was worth every penny. It was just like rediscovering myself. A new me!
