Nip Here, Tuck There

            When I was in my twenties I vowed that I would treat myself to Botox on my 30^th birthday. I figured by that time the wrinkles would be very noticeable. Time has treated me better than I thought and I delayed my cosmetic fix on that age milestone. Years later, I am now trying to figure out which treatment would be more suitable to my visage. There are plenty of products out there, so the selection I make really will depend on what I want the treatment to do for me.

            I am leaning toward getting filler injected into my laugh lines as I feel Botox wouldn’t eliminate those sneaky creases. I have looked into Restylane, which is an injectable gel. I have joked with a friend about a spa day in which she would get a chemical peel and I would get my own business taken care of. However, I’m not sold on carrying through with a cosmetic procedure. As I said, time has not been bad to me and I may just continue with my current skin care regimen of day lotion, makeup removers, wrinkle serum, night cream and the occasional microdermabrasion. In truth, I don’t mind the laugh lines. They give me character and are a tell tale sign that I am a generally happy person.
