This week’s episode is all about Botox as we welcome my aesthetics nurse Meghan Morrissette. As a holistically-minded person, the idea of injecting myself with a toxic chemical just to look better did not appeal to me for many years. However, now that I have a deeper understanding about what Botox can really do, I think it’s worth exploring, which I recently did myself.

I had a great experience trying Botox for the first time with Meghan. She has a soft, delicate touch, and the needles are tiny, so I felt no pain at all. She’s passionate about giving natural results and long-lasting outcomes. Meghan sees the art in what she does, while also understanding the science behind it. 

Neurotoxins like Botox are substances that impact the nervous system. They block the signal between the nerves and muscles, leading to smoother looking skin. It can address existing wrinkles and ones that haven’t formed yet. Interestingly, Botox was actually developed for medical use, specifically to help with chronic migraines, excessive sweating, an overactive bladder, and eye spasms. 

It takes a certain set of skills to be a great injector. For example, it’s crucial to have an eye for anatomy, especially for natural-looking results. It’s also important to understand how the neurotoxin works to properly customize the dose and the placement. The personal anatomy and goals of the patient should be taken into account too.

If you have concerns about trying Botox, there are a few things you should know. First, Botox should not freeze your face. Botox is intended to relax specific areas and overall bring greater balance to your face. It’s perfectly safe and very effective.
