I never thought I'd be the person writing about Botox, but here we are.

For years, my forehead lines and those terrible "11s" between my eyebrows seemed to get deeper every time I looked in the mirror. Do you do this? While you are driving you kind of check out your wrinkles in the mirror? I do.

My First Botox Experience at HydraPure

And I didn't want to look like a different person. I didn't want a frozen face. I just wanted to look a little more rested...like I'd actually slept eight hours.

Enter Kasha Desrosiers at HydraPure Health Aesthetics and Wellness in Augusta.

I'll admit it, I was nervous. Needles in my face?

But the second I sat down with Kasha, my anxiety disappeared. Completely.

Before she even touched a syringe, she walked me through everything. She answered every question, explained exactly what to expect, and never once made me feel pressured. She genuinely listened to what I wanted.

Then came the injections.

Do they hurt? Yep...a little. Think quick bee stings. But honestly, if we've survived childbirth, waxing, tattoos, or just being women in general, we can absolutely handle Botox.

Fast forward a few days...

My 11 lines? Gone. My forehead wrinkles? Gone.

But somehow...I still look exactly like me. Which I love.

Actually, I look like the version of me that got a full night's sleep and drank all my water.

The best part? After my first treatment, the outer ends of my eyebrows lifted just a touch more than I wanted. I mentioned it to Kasha, and she had me come right back in for a quick adjustment.

No hassle, no ego, she simply wanted me to love my results. That told me everything I needed to know about the kind of injector she is.
