Getting Botox at Age 24!

I'm sure its somewhat frowned upon being 24 years old and getting botox. But i'm okay with that. I'm at the age now where I want to experiment, I want to prevent wrinkles by eating healthy, not smoking, washing my face correctly, but lets face it that won't completely prevent it. I was offered a free botox treatment after months of considering spending my own money on it so I finally gave in. This is a short review of the process and what I can expect in the next couple of days.

First things first. What facility did I go to? I went to Laser Away in Sherman Oaks and I was beyond impressed with the facility and customer service. As weird as it sounds the receptionist treats you like you're friends and I LOVE that.

Next, she went over all my options payment wise. (this treatment was free for a promo they had) but for future payment options when I want to come back.

After that a nurse comes in and asks you about your health history to make sure you are a good fit.

Then comes the botox. She carefully checked my facial expressions for botox placement and then iced my face. It is completely painless, a tiny pinch. She explained to me not to exercise for 12 hours, not to lay down for four hours and that there is a chance of small bruising. First results don't show up for 3 days and after that 2 weeks are the final results. They last 3-4 months before having to go back and re do. Not too bad in my opinion.

This is something I really just wanted to try to see what it is like, I squint my eyes a lot and make little faces that sometimes cause a crease in my make up and I just don't care for it.

I'm excited to see what happens in the next couple of days and then for the two week results.

I had a great experience at Laser Away and will definitely be returning for other treatments. :) Here are some Pre photos I'll update you in a few days and then in 2 weeks for final results.
