Well, I got tired of "being angry" and decided I need to un-frown.
Had 3 appointments with Dysport prior at a different clinic
- 1st treatment (not Serenity Rejuvenation) was a trial and was mere $80 (which I was never informed that the price will keep escalating) but lasted about 3 weeks;
- at my second visit (not Serenity Rejuvenation), the $80 is now $480 (Good grief, I am already an addict. now what?) which I was told it will last 6 months, well it lasted 3.5 months;
- at my 3rd visit (not Serenity Rejuvenation) I was quoted $600 and apparently I am in need of more "poison" and only have myself to blame for my high metabolism (umm my flabby tummy fat disagree!). Was told it will be $800 for Botox and *may* last a month longer.

Did a little research on Botox vs Dysport with the help of Dr. Steve (Serenity Rejuvenation) and honestly was rather hesitant to go to a new place for the fear of being "bulged" - you know, when the new place sat you down examined your face inside an invisible super eyes of theirs and it tells you exactly how ugly you are. They calculate your wrinkles, sun spots, the size of your pores, etc.... leaving you wondering what percent ugly you are as compared to the general population...

So on a Wednesday morning, I picked up my courage, packed my ego, boxed my self esteem, took an extra dose of Zyntac, went to see Dr. Steve and wait for him to endorse the prior statistics that I am 78 percent ugly, meaning less pretty than 78 percent of women in the world. On the popular 1-10 hotness scale used by males the world over, that makes me a 3 , if you round up.

And as I brace myself for him to tell me that my left side of my face is apparently 20 percent more aged than the right and it will be a monumental project to revitalize me, he said "you do not need much on your frown line, just the crows feet".

Next came the words of "Lay down please".... Oh really? I get royalty treatment? You mean I don't have to sit upright, clinched cross legged and watch you approach me with needles at eye level? It was much less "poke" than I had in the past with Dysport. After the procedure, Dr. Steve gave me an ice-pack and sat in the room with me dabbing off the melted ice (with traces of blood) off my face. I did not leave the facility driving off with a stabbing headache (which I was told it was normal) as when I did with Dysport.

Dr. Steve is honest and upfront with "3 days to see effect, 3 weeks for optimal result, 3 months to re-treat" and not sugar coat it with 6 months bogus claim. No, not $800, not even $400, a fraction of the price - as he does not inject unnecessary and I actually look "human", I can actually still frown if I want to - see =: )

Botox - Botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin! What in the world was I thinking (or obviously not thinking) before coming here to have a RN inject that shay on me? Insist on having A DOCTOR administer it!

Okay, I can breathe now ... Dr. Feel Good!
