I went to Skinpossible and received Botox treatment, which worked wonders. I have no more wrinkles on my forehead, which were quite noticeable and deep from frowning and lifting my eyebrows. I still have movement of my forehead and eyebrows, I just can't make any lines anymore! I'm not frozen, nor do I look surprised. I look normal and have the ability to still move.
Although I didn't like the wrinkles, the one thing I have always hated are the bags and dark circles under my eyes. No amount of sleeping or make up can get rid of them. I didn't really know that there was a way to get rid of it until the technician (Angela) advised me of dermal fillers. I got so excited I booked an appt. the next day to come back. I read some reviews about it and quite frankly, I got pretty nervous. My mom (who was getting the same treatment) went in to talk to the staff. One staff member had just had the eye filler a week prior and was able to describe everything and my mom saw the results. We kept our appt. and Angela was sure to go over everything and make sure we were comfortable with the procedure. They freeze your face first and then inject the filler and sculpt it to work with your face. It's instant results which was one of the best things I've ever done. Although it was a little tender (but why wouldn't it be?) and you have a hard 'ridge' where they place it so it plumps up your skin in that area, I have no bags anymore! And in turn, it took away 90% of the purple as well. I don't know why I thought this, but when I looked at myself the first time, all I could think of was "I look like a beautiful ballerina" - soft and glowing (which is weird because I'm not even close to being a ballerina).
There have been no side effects from either treatment, except for it being tender. I didn't bruise at all and it was only red for a few hours. I have never in my life gone outside without concealer on. Now, I wear very little concealer when I go to work or out somewhere, and I even leave the house without make up on now. I would highly recommend this for anyone who is self conscious of their dark circles. For me, it's given me confidence I haven't had since I was a teenager. The only draw back is that these procedures can be pricey, and add up. But if you know what you're after and you're prepared, save up and space out your treatments. It's worth it! You don't look fake, you don't look plastic, and you feel better about yourself.
If you're unsure of anything, speak to the staff, they are all very knowledgable and make sure they spend time answering all your questions. They're also fun and down to earth. Angela is my technician and she's awesome. Their clinic is beautiful, clean and has state of the art equipment. Their skin care line is the best too! I give 5 stars for the staff, the treatments, their products and the beautiful and clean clinic they run. I will absolutely go back for more. Next up: saving the money for some cool sculpting. I never thought I'd do anything like this because I never wanted plastic surgery. Now I know I can do it without surgery, and without ending up looking the like Joan Rivers! read more
