Before and After BOTOX®

It seems that everybody, from presidential candidate John Kerry to former Spice Girl Gerry Halliwell, is opting to undergo BOTOX® anti-aging treatment. According to many satisfied BOTOX® customers, life, before and after BOTOX®, is dramatically different.

We all get older. It's one of the fundamental facts of life. Some people age better than others, look younger than others, and seem to always remain "young at heart." Perhaps these people are just lucky. Or maybe it's genetic. In the end, it doesn't matter. The bottom line is that the younger you look, the better you feel about yourself.

Some people say that it's best not to interfere with the natural processes of life, that it's best to "grow old gracefully." But there is nothing graceful about looking older than you actually are. Those with the most grace are those that look and act young.

In any case, you can't argue with the benefits that come with looking younger - the increased confidence and vitality that comes with regaining your skin's natural glow, the compliments you will receive from the people who matter to you most, your family and friends, the increase in your professional status in your career life as your more youthful appearance translates into increased self-esteem and belief in your abilities. Also, in the business world, where first impressions can make or break a deal, and when you looking tired, gloomy, or annoyed all the time could be the difference between getting promoted or not, doesn't it just make sense to want to look and be the best person you possibly can?

Why suffer with the unsightliness of crow's feet, laugh lines, frown lines, and a creased and furrowed brow when you don't have to? The changes that you will see, before and after BOTOX®, in these areas of your face, will astound you. BOTOX® targets these problem areas by targeting the muscles themselves that lead to the wrinkles. How, you may ask, do the muscles cause wrinkles? The muscles that lie beneath the skin are what allow us to form the myriad of facial expressions that we can form. Year after year after year of making these same facial expressions, day in and day out, however, causes the skin to fold and crease over and over again. This repeated creasing eventually has long-term effects. For this reason, even smiling will eventually make us look older than we actually are.

The way that BOTOX® works to target the muscles that lead to these so-called "dynamic wrinkles" is to relax them. When these muscles are relaxed, they cannot crease the skin and cause these wrinkles. It's as simple as that. And it's not like you will lose any of the range of expression that you once had. You will still be able to convey the same amount of emotion with your face as ever, your skin will just be smoother, have fewer lines, and look younger. Also, over time, your skin will begin to repair itself in such a way that not only will new lines not form but old ones will begin to fade as well.

There is no need to worry about side effects with BOTOX®. You will find that even after trying BOTOX® for the first time, there will be little, if any, noticeable side effects. In fact, BOTOX® treatment is so quick, painless, and easy, it can be done on your lunch hour. Your only concern may be some very slight bruising but this can easily be covered with make up.

In today's fast-paced and ever-changing world you want to look your best. Don't let time get the best of you, get BOTOX® and turn back the clock for healthier, more youthful looking skin.
