Botox - It makes me feel like the girl I was

Article in Body & Soul, The Times (Saturday February 20th 2010) by Anna Blundy

 

..... I have had Botox four times in the past three years. It doesn't make you good-looking if you're not, but nor does it make you look weird if you don't have too much. Yes, celebrities such as Amanda Holden do look a bit odd, but they have probably had other things done too and, let's face it, most of us would rather look like them odd than like ourselves normal.....

Basically, Botox has a mini face-lift effect and makes me look immediately brighter and younger. I haven't ended up with those weird, archy eyebrows of popular myth and it's far less painful than going to a beauty salon to be plucked or waxed.

In fact........ I didn't feel the 20 or so tiny injections around my forehead and eyes at all. It takes five or ten minutes, leaves you unmarked (though after one appointment in Italy some of the jabs did bleed for a few seconds) and I feel incredibly safe. Rich and famous women have been having Botox for about 15 years - it filtered down to the likes of me only quite recently.

It's no different from having your hair dyed and costs about the same in a year (somewhere around £300 a time depending on how much you have - frown marks, whole forehead, around the eyes.
 

Quotes from 'The Botox-ed.....'

 
Simon Cowell, 50 - "To me, Botox is no more unusual than toothpaste. It works, you do it once a year - who cares?"
 
Amanda Holden, 30 - "Yes, I've had Botox. I don't know a single actress who hasn't done it. That's a fact. Just get them to frown for you."
 
Christine Hamilton, 60 - "I've had three things: Botox, Restylane and something called New-Fill. That's the best. I may become a bit of a junkie. It has undoubtedly made a difference. They may be expensive, but make your decision: new holiday or look younger for a year".
