Botox Beginnings – How I Became a Botox Believer

Written by bracketmedia
On September 07, 2016

Prior to working at W Cosmetic Surgery, Botox (or injections of any kind) never crossed my mind. I was under the impression that I wouldn’t need injections until I got “old” or “wrinkly.” I soon came to understand that was not true. The more time I spent assisting Dr. Wulc and watching patients of all ages see the benefits of Botox, I became a believer.

I got my first Botox injection three years ago. I was 23. I was extremely unhappy with the deep lines across my forehead. Because I am very expressive, I noticed no matter what creams I used or how hard I tried to consciously not use my eyebrows or forehead, the lines never went away. So, I figured I’d give this Botox thing a try.

I didn’t go home the first day looking wrinkle-free. It takes time to work its magic. Within a few weeks, I started to notice that I seemed to age in reverse. After the first couple of injections, I could see how much softer the deep lines became and how much smoother my forehead looked. On top of that, I noticed a lift in my eyebrows which helped me look much more awake and refreshed. Three years later and those deep lines that I thought would never go away are nonexistent. I get injections every three-four months now, so the wrinkles don’t have a chance to reappear.

I’ve even become sort of a Botox expert with my friends and family. When they found out I was getting injections, their initial response was “Why are you doing that? You’re crazy, you don’t need Botox yet!” It’s likely I would have said the same thing. But now, I let my “before and after” pictures do the talking. The picture on the bottom shows how my forehead looks today-line free! After seeing the progression of my skin and how much softer my whole appearance is, they are jumping on the band wagon and are no longer Botox virgins!
