Botox Before & Afters

The Big Why?

So many of our clients get asked why botox? Be sure to read her post for personal look into why she decided to try botox and why Lapiel was the right fit for her!

I considered Botox for almost two years before I finally decided to pull the trigger.  I did some research on local Med Spas, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, etc. and in the end, decided to partner up with Lapiel Laser Center.  Lapiel is a local Med Spa that focuses on laser hair removal, Botox and other skincare procedures (like silk peels and chemical peels).  Some people have a skewed opinion about Med Spas and say not to trust them.  I would have to whole-heartedly disagree with that statement.  Catalina, the Nurse Practitioner, at Lapiel made me feel so comfortable and was willing to answer every single one of my questions before starting anything.  She explained the process and walked me through each step, telling me what she was doing and why.

Does Botox Hurt?

Perhaps our most commonly asked question, along with “will I still look like myself?” The answer is a resounding NO! & Of course! Be sure to read Whitney’s full Q&A with Catalina

So back to the beginning, I was seriously terrified of getting Botox for the first time.  The thought of needles poking my forehead made me want to pass out.  I have a very low pain tolerance and couldn’t stand knowing that I would willingly induce pain upon myself.  A little dramatic right?  I soon discovered, yes, this was me being WAY dramatic.
