Hi, We Sent One of Our Editors to Try Botox for the First Time in Honor of National Botox Day
In honor of National Botox Day—which is, yes, an official day of celebration in America (gawd, I love this place)—one of our editors, Ashley, volunteered her face as tribute to go under the needle and get sh*t done. She decided that she wanted to use the procedure to eliminate her “bunny ear”–like indentations between her eyes that appears when she scrunches her face, as well as generally relaxing her face so that she totally skips over the wrinkling phase in life. Our girl did a solid for y’all, TBH.
Before Ashley headed to the doctor’s office, she gave us the lowdown on what one must do *before* they get Botox. Aaand although she didn’t follow all the rules, everything was still fine! But what you should do before your big appointment is to: (1) hydrate, (2) pause the prescription topicals, and (3) avoid alcohol. Take a guess on which one(s) she didn’t follow! Let’s just say, a girl always has to have her wine *wink*.
On the morning of, Ashley chose to put makeup on because, like, how does one function without a beat face? BUT she wasn’t sure if that was okay or not, although she knew the doctor would most likely remove the makeup on the spot she was getting the Botox. No worries!
As she was sent off with good blessings and love by her fellow Cosmo colleagues, she got to the doctor’s office and signed her life off for this glow-up! Before Dr. Ginsberg from the Tribeca Medspa did the thang, he informed her that it was OKAY that she didn’t follow all the before-care rules (she wasn’t taking stuff like asprin or ibuprofen, which was essential). He also laid out exactly what the Botox was going to do internally in fancy medical terms and potential complications.
And then they were off! Dr. Ginsberg pulled out the needles and, for viewer discretion purposes, there was some blood action but it was all done in less than five minutes!
You’re going to have to watch till the end to find out her results!! If you’re asking me (just from watching the vid and having a revelation) and Ashley, 10/10 would mf recommend.
