My botox experience at ASI Skin at Aesthetic Surgery Ireland!
Botox. It’s like Fight Club in that the first rule about botox is that you don’t talk about botox. But you know what, any time I mentioned getting it to people, they had lots of questions and couldn’t believe I was admitting to them I’d gotten it done. But sure listen, people get it done every day and I’d have loved a blog post like this while I was doing my research. So this is going to be much more than a before and after photoshoot, but spoiler alert, I love the results.
So yes, I turned 40 last December, so am a proper grown ass adult now which terrifies me. Now I’m not going to toot my own horn, but I have good skin, I’ve very few wrinkles and don’t think I look my age. I certainly don’t act it! I’ve never had lines going across my forehead and the reasons for this are twofold.
1. I really do my best to look after my skin and I think my forehead and I are the better for it.
2. I have an absolutely massive skull that hats don’t fit and so my skin is naturally stretched over it. Either way, my forehead has never really been an issue for me.
But my frown lines have been bothering me for a while. I’d become good at looking annoyed at things because I felt my elevenses (that’s what a few people called them on Snapchat when we were chatting about it a while back) were really pronounced and it’s something I was aware of in photos, especially when I took close up photos of my eye areas.
