I wanted to look my age when meeting new clients.
When I was in my early thirties, I noticed a lot of frown lines and small wrinkles around my eyes. I had four kids in six years, and it had taken its toll on me. I was now a single mother and doing better than I did when I was married. My kids were well-adjusted, but my face still told the story. I was talking to my doctor, and he noticed my nails were getting longer. He had been my doctor since I was a child and he remembered how I bit my nails whenever I was upset. I told him about my situation, but also mentioned that the stress had caused a lot of wrinkles to appear, and I was only thirty-five. He told me about a salon that did anti-wrinkle injections. He said some spas used collagen while other used botox. The collagen lasted much longer and there were fewer incidents of complications. I looked for a spa that offered anti-wrinkle injections, and asked if they used collagen. The anesthetist told me they offered both, and it was my decision. I gave a lot of thought to whether I even wanted anti-wrinkle injections, but I was young and trying to build a business. I wanted to look my age when meeting new clients. I called the spa and asked to set up an appointment for anti-wrinkle injections. When I got home from having the anti-wrinkle injections done, my kids immediately noticed a difference. I’m glad I had the anti-wrinkle injections done. Not only did it make me look my age, but I had more confidence in myself
