The BOTOX® Party … I’ll have a pomegranate martini with my neurotoxin please!
Filed Under BOTOX®* Articles, Skin Care Articles |
Let’s face it (pun intended) BOTOX®* has become a staple for millions of women and men who want to erase those fine lines and crows feet in a quick and almost painless manner. But just how accessible BOTOX® is has me a little worried.
Recently I was invited to a BOTOX® Party. While I am quite sure that I was the only person in a hundred mile radius who hasn’t tried BOTOX® (I do live in L.A. after all), it turned out that I was not the only gal on the block to have missed the BOTOX® Boat. How could I resist an invitation to a party where I could get tipsy and wrinkle-free at the same time? Nevertheless, I declined the invitation as I had a hard time seeing myself with a pomegranate martini in hand while a Doctor injected my face with a neurotoxin.
Yes, I am still a BOTOX® virgin, but it’s not because I have anything against the procedure. I am all for a treatment that will help me avoid looking like poor Mrs. Wilson next door who has a perma-frown even when she is at her happiest. I just think that it should be done in the confines of a sterile medical office and not my girlfriend’s front room where I’ve personally witnessed a couple of hundred diaper changes.
And even if I decided to go to a dermatologist to have the procedure done, wasn’t there a doctor in Houston that was charged with injecting 170 of her patients with a trial substance that can only be described as Phony BOTOX®? Maybe I’m reaching for excuses, but it did happen … go ahead, Google it!
BOTOX® has definitely been proven as a safe and effective treatment for fine lines and wrinkles and I may even succumb to its seduction should my peptide based anti-aging moisturizer begin to fail me, but until it does, I’ll be choosing the jar over the needle. Of courseà … there was that promise of a pomegranate martini or two!
So, what do you think? We want to know!

Hi Chella, glad I stumbled across your blog, I am a Cosmetic Physcian in Australia and have just started my own blog, along the same lines as yours, cosmetic medicine, skin care etc. I think your site is excellent, and one of the truly good blogs on this topic (besides mine-smile). I agree, Botox belongs in a safe medical environment, it is after all, a prescription medication and safety and sterility need to be observed. Dr Jo
I haven’t jumped on the Botox bandwagon either. I have some lines but really couldn’t see myself going in for touchups all the time (especially at-home treatments!). But, who knows, it might be a different story in 10 years!
