botox injections

June 30th, 2009

Alright, I’m not getting any younger.  I know this because I can feel it.  I can no longer go up several flights of stairs without stopping for air.  My sleep is erratic.  I can no longer manage to sleep for eight hours.  My father says that it is a sign of old age when you can’t sleep for more than five hours at night.  More than that, I actually see signs of aging.  I have age spots.  I thought there were freckles but my dermatologist told me they were liver spots.  Liver and aging, they go together.  And I have wrinkles.  Yes, I have them around my eyes, my mouth and on my forehead.  I can’t smile without my wrinkles revealing themselves.  Unfortunate but true.  I’ve considered botox and anti-aging creams and facial treatments.  I’ve done the latter but it has no lasting effect.  With botox, I heard that results are immediate and effects of one session lasts up to six months.  But I’m still not convinced after reading the possible side effects of botox injections.  Yes, you only inject the substance in your face but side effects can manifest throughout your body.  Which is what I don’t want.  So I might put it off for another year or two.  We’ll see.
