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.

Botox in a can? Microdermabraison? Instant face lift? AT HOME!!

Hello, hello everyone.
I'm so excited to share a few things with you regarding skin.
I know you must be wondering what "botox in a can" is or how you can have an instant facelift.

I've recently across a company called beauty control after attending a friends SPA party.
Truthfully, I fell in love that day. I've tried a lot of products high end and low end through out the past 14 years almost since I had severe acne for about 8 or 9 of those years. I'm very sensitive and I almost know right away if Ill like a product or not. 

Anyway, at 24 years old botox doesn't really cross your mind..? right...? 
it didn't cross mine until I learned your eyes show the first signs of aging and only have 4 layers of skin.  I'm realizing putting in the extra effort is really beneficial for the skin in the long run. so I will be explaining this whole instant face life thing and I will post a picture in this blog for you to see the progress for yourself.

Okay, so what is this whole instant face life thing I love so much?
first its the microdermapeel from beauticontrol. If any of you know how expensive it is to get a microdermabraison treatment once a month you know how unrealistic that is for some people. This treatment is the same thing as going to get a treatment for wayyyyyyyyyyy cheaper and you can do it once a week. It minimizes pores, takes away anything you weren't born with over time, such as sun damage, age spots, scars from acne, etc and gives the skin an amazing polish, lift and glow. 
(this treatment will be shown in the last photo of the 3 posted)

Then here comes the TIGHT FIRM AND FILL.
Now if you're 24 like me or just still in your pre wrinkle years you may think you don't needs this..
But I've noticed a lift to my face since I started using these products.
Now there is a mild version which is called tight, firm and fill and a strong version which is called BTextreme. I've been using both combined. 
The mild version just helps reduce lines and wrinkles, if you have dark circles and puffiness it'll take that away.
Now the strong version is like botox in a can. Which actually penetrates down to the muscle to relax those wrinkles. So if you HAVE botox it will help it last longer (saving you money with less frequest visits) and if you don't it will soften up the lines on your face. 

I've noticed a HUGE difference in my skin since I started using these products along with the daily facial regimen. I love it so much that Im scared to miss a day of applying these products. 
Hope you all enjoy this, I hope this is helpful. If this is something you'd like to try out feel free to contact me via email to host a spa at watsonvanessa08@yahoo.com Or you can purchase through the above links. and this one as well. http://www.beautipage.com/vanessamwatson1
