LETS TALK TOXIN!!!
I have been getting a lot of questions, as has the beautiful about botox since we posted her super cute reel documenting her treatment . So I thought it was a great time to make a short post about the who, the what, the why, and the when of toxins!!!
Lets just talk about the elephant in the room here. Dare is GORGEOUS. I mean, why in the world would this model – esq looking person get botox? The answer is in the question. She is GORGEOUS. Clearly, there is nothing to correct, and people in their 20s and 30s want to keep it that way.
Those fine, etched in lines that your mother’s friend has? Or the deep grooves men develop? Those didn’t happen overnight. People don’t wake up one morning looking tired, and aged – it happens slowly over decades and once you arrive at that place where your reflection doesn’t reflect you, it is HARD to turn back the hands of time.
It is much easier to prevent those lines from ever occurring, which toxin will do – reliably – Every. Single. Time. (I can promise you my 46 year old forehead isn’t smooth because I have used sunscreen regularly since age 30)
So who gets toxin – men and women who want to preserve their skin quality and texture. Anyone who wants fine lines and wrinkles treated and anyone who wants to look more rested, awake and approachable during the day. RBF is a thing people.
WHO/ WHEN– MEN AND WOMEN AT ANY ADULT AGE.
WHY – SO MANY REASONS. THESE TEND TO BE INDIVIDUAL. IF YOU DON’T HAVE A WHY, THAT’S COOL, JUST WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN.
WHAT – TOXINS (AND SPF)
So how about the where Well this is two questions ; 1. Where on your face. And 2. Literally, where do I get treated.
Where on your face is ANYWHERE!!!! This is where we talk. What are your goals, what do you want to change. What do you want to keep? Do you want your fine lines gone or do you want a little boost to your pout with a lip flip??? Do you want to look more rested? Do you want to appear more approachable because you work with the public or are on zoom all day long? We can do that! Upper face, lower face, neck. I tell people , I have toxin from the collar bone up!
Where to get it?? NOT ANYWHERE!!!!! Ok guys, I don’t want to p**s anyone off here. But here is the skinny. Reconstitution matters (how dilute is your toxin) Depth matters. Units matter. And none of this is cook book. So – experience matters. I am still learning from people in the aesthetic community everyday and devote hours and money to CME every year! (And that is after 10 years of doing this stuff). People sometimes ask me; “is there really an art to it?” Well, basic tox is gonna get you a basic result. So if you liken yourself basic, this doesn’t apply to you. But if you have an opinion about how your face ends up, find someone you are comfortable with. And hey, we all were new at one point, so new is not necessarily bad. But make an informed choice that you are comfortable with. Even the best injectors in the world have things happen so feel confident in your choice.
Finally, how much you need is not what your bestie needs, is not what your momma gets, is not what Sam, Dick and Harry got.
How much you need depends on your desired results and your budget. This stuff isn’t cheap and I get that. Being budget aware is SMART! I can work with any budget but will also set realistic expectations. A lip flip is 6 – 12 units and it goes up from there! And finally, with respect to budget – consultations are FREE. So please come on in and I will go over all your options and answer all your questions as they apply to you specifically. Everyone’s beauty is unique, you deserve the time individually.
