Never Say Never: My First BOTOX® Cosmetic Experience

A first-time BOTOX user, our guest blogger Sheena Daniels shares her treatment experience at our Idaho Falls practice.

Truer words have never been spoken when you hear the saying “Never say never.”

I’m for sure not old, but I know I’m not getting any younger. As a mom of 2 busy little kids, coaching activities, running a business of boss women, being a wife, homeschooling, and everything else that arises in life, I swear each day gives me a new wrinkle and line on my face. The older I get, the more I notice them.

I never thought I’d ever get BOTOX. We have all seen the BOTOX gone wrong in lots of people, and I always just imagined if I got it done, I would be the one walking around looking like the rest of the bad jobs. So, when Freeman Plastic Surgery contacted me to see if I’d want to try it out, I was excited and nervous all at once.

I know that I don’t have a lot of wrinkles, but they are there. When I squint in the sun, when I scowl at my kids for being naughty and making faces in selfies (you do it too, haha!), they’re the first thing that stick out to me.

Hesitantly and excitedly, I said yes. It turned out to be one of the best things I ever did for my skin and wrinkles!

I’m not one for pain or needles and I knew this involved both, so I was nervous about that. I’ve definitely had and felt way worse pain by getting waxed and getting my eyeliner and brows tattooed, so I’ll be the first to say this was quick and easy! It takes about a full week to see the effects of taking your lines away. I now look in the mirror every day and LOVE that my forehead is smooth and wrinkle-less.

Getting BOTOX is also preventive for future wrinkles, and I say it’s a win-win for everyone! There are actually a lot of benefits to getting BOTOX, and I’ve loved learning about what all it can help with.

I love working with Dr. Freeman’s office staff and the cute and professional women who work there. They’re all trained so well and are so fun to chat with and easy to get along with.

They do so many amazing things at their office that have to do with taking care of your body and skin! I think beauty comes from within and loving yourself first, but this is just the extra icing on the cake to feel even more young and beautiful on the outside.

One thing I do know: I’m a BOTOX lover for life!
