Look naturally refreshed with Botox

Hi, my name is Clint and I am 54 years old. I am a personal fitness trainer; I have been working out since I was 16 years old. I’m really into physical fitness and it’s so important for my level of happiness, and that is why I have been training all these years.

I have a multi-unit exercise machine which is consistent of pull-ups, dips and you can work your abdomen a bit. There is something called the pump – and when you get the pump you know you got a good workout. I am a competitive person by nature and my appearance is important to me.

Well I am 54 and my wife is commenting on these crow’s feet they were not fine lines anymore, they were deeper and more pronounced and my crow’s feet were really starting to bother me. My wife has been treated with Botox Cosmetic and she mentioned seeing a lot more men in the waiting at her doctor’s office, so I made my appointment to learn about my treatment options. My doctor said more men are starting to ask about Botox and like I said I am competitive, my wife can’t be the only one with the benefit from the treatment of Botox Cosmetic. It was important to me that I understood how Botox Cosmetics works – my doctor explained that Botox cosmetics works beneath the surface and addresses the underlying muscle activity that causes frown lines and crow’s feet.

I am glad I went in for a Botox Cosmetic treatment, I wish I had not waited for so long, Because I’m happy with my results, I was surprised that the treatment was so quick, I thought it would be involved but it only took about 10 minutes, and I like the visible smoothing of the lines, but the results are subtle and I still have some character lines, once again my wife was right! I would ask my doctor again about Botox Cosmetic again.
