I never thought I would get botox. When I would think of people getting botox I would picture plastic faces that didn’t move. And I pictured Joan Rivers… Anyway, a little over a year ago I started getting crippling migraines. They were so intense I couldn’t even talk during them… if I would try I would stutter and slur. It was beyond awful. These horrible migraines would tense my entire forehead for up to 12 hours, and the doctors couldn’t explain them. After 3 months of them on and off, and several overnight ER stays, the migraines eventually became less intense, but from all the tension in my forehead it left me with a very noticeable line across my forehead. Bleh! I am 33 and have never had a wrinkle. I’m OCD about moisturizing, protecting my skin, using gentle products, etc… but then suddenly the most painful time in my life leaves a mark on my head for me to remember it by! Total BS. Yeah, life isn’t fair;) Desperate times call for desperate measures, so I looked into botox. I have never had a cosmetic procedure done, so I was nervous. Melissa made the whole experience very comfortable. She explained everything, told me how it would work, etc. The shots feel like a tiny pinch, and in just a few days the giant line was gone. I now go to her every 4 months to get the shots redone. I have had no side effects, no swelling, and my face still looks exactly like it did, minus the horrid line.
